What is the most interesting thing you've learned in plant biology and why?

What is the difference between a parasitic angiosperm and an epiphytic angiosperm?

Your newly established facility was recognised by NATA as being compliant with the OECD Principles of GLP and your first GLP study is now well under way. It is a multi-site study. The in-life aspect of the study is being conducted by a Test Facility located in Switzerland. Rat plasma samples are being shipped to your GLP facility in Brisbane. However, troubles lie ahead. The person responsible for the analytical phase in your Brisbane facility has just informed you that she has resigned to take up another job elsewhere, effective immediately. After the initial shock you quickly regain your composure and start compiling a list of what now needs to occur in order for the analytical phase of the study to be successfully completed. Identify five (5) actions / processes that must occur in order for the study to remain compliant with the Principles of GLP. Each action / process should be described in one sentence.

Write a question and answer it. (Question should not be a textbook type, it should be interpretation type question) I'm a first grader molecular biology and genetics student

Explain PCR to 10 years old child with all details.. i need where it is used, what type knowledge we can learn on pcr samples, how does it work please give me a long text thx

Write a case you can use PCR to solve the problem and also write a case you cannot use PCR to solve to problem

Nutrition science:

(maximizing carbohydrate) In a short paragraph, what way's can one maximize the quality of carbohydrates by having whole-grains, high fiber, low fat, and a low glycemic index. Does it seem like one could meet all these criteria with a few, well-chosen foods? Or does it seem like a task for a professional nutrition counselor?

Vitamin recommendations and claims can be confusing and misleading. A little knowledge is power – your power to choose. How will a person be sure to get all the vitamins they need? What do you see as some of the most important links between foods, vitamins, and preventable medical conditions at home and around the world? In a short paragraph, explain your best hypothesis about the connections.

Consider a farm planted with corn being infested with caterpillars. During the first pesticide application out of twenty (20) caterpillars sprayed, only five (5) were killed. After some times, the fifteen (15) individuals that survived grew in number to about thirty (30) individuals. Another application was done and about twenty-five (25) individuals were killed.

i. What is the pest and the type of pesticide used by farmer?

ii. Does the pest of corn exhibit pesticide resistance?Justify your answer.

iii. List the stages of pesticide resistance described in the paragraph. (NOTE: Write only the stage reflected in the paragraph.)

The process to get naive B cell to produce antibodies to an antigen. Give details and explain

. Let’s imagine that we are studying only one trait, that of green- or yellow-colored seeds. Mendel bred his peas until they either produced seeds of one color or the other. These purebred plants he called the p generation (“p” for parental generation). He then cross bred green plants with yellow ones and discovered that all the offspring were yellow-colored. Mendel called the offspring of the purebred plants the F1 generation.

In your own words, explain why all the offspring in the F1 generation were yellow instead of half being yellow and half green, or some other mix of the colors. Hint: Remember that Mendel coined the terms dominant and recessive. must be 75 words

Another disease caused by a mutation in a single gene is Huntington’s disease (HD), an autosomal dominant condition. It is caused by mutations in a gene required for normal nerve cell function. The mutations cause abnormal proteins to be produced which “stick” together and accumulate in nerve cells, eventually interfering with normal cell operations. Suggest two ways you could treat the disease by targeting the translation step for the HD protein and justify why each approach might be effective.

Briefly describe the process by which the body strips electrons from food molecules (use a polysaccharide made up of glucose monomers as an example) and uses them to power the electron transport chain.

7) Our "stop" switch is located in:
a. Ventral tegmental area
b. Hypothalamus
c. Amygdala *not right, i chose that one
d. Prefrontal cortex

8)Nucleus Accumbens increases behaviors by:
a. recalling implicit memories
b. activating our prefrontal cortex
c. activating our survival circuitry *not right
d. a and c are correct

GENETICS:

Please provide a good explanation why the answer is transcription. (visual learner.)

You are studying chemicals (A,B,C,D, and E) and treat cells with each compound. You measure RNA and protein. RNA is detected in all of your cultures except the one treated with compound A. What process in the cell is compound-A inhibiting?

a. transcription

b. replication

c. translation

d. splicing

e. cloning
