Cystic fibrosis is a disease in which people have a mutation in an ion channel called CFTR. This type of channel is found in multiple tissues throughout the body, and a simple mutation in this channel may be expressed in a multitude of ways (sweating disorder, digestive system malfunction, respiratory difficulties, etc…). This type of situation when a genetic mutation expresses itself in a multitude of phenotypes is called
Select one:

A patient with diabetes has a history of foot ulcer progressing to infection. Specifically, this is recurrent diabetic foot infection (DFI). That is, despite apparent success of the treatment the infection continues to reappear.
The initial diagnosis by the pathology laboratory uses microbiological investigation that has identified Staphylococcus aureus in this infection. Further simple analysis by PCR has revealed the presence of common toxins associated with S. aureus infections in the blood, skin and soft tissue and bone.
Describe a research plan you would undertake to identify:
if the recurrence of infection is due to a new infection or the same bacteria remaining present,
the molecular mechanisms used by this specific S. aureus isolate for its colonization,
the molecular mechanisms for its persistence and recurrent cause of DFI disease.

"Global Climate Change" refers to shifting trends in the long-term weather patterns ("climate") across the globe, and includes phenomena such as global warming. At its root is a steady increase in the atmospheric concentration of several gases called "greenhouse gases", some of which are released through burning fossil fuels such as gasoline, coal, and natural gas. One greenhouse gas is carbon dioxide, an input for photosynthesis and an output of cellular respiration. Your assignment for this Discussion Board to is investigate the following questions:
1.What is a greenhouse gas?
2.When and why is carbon dioxide considered a pollutant?
3.How do scientists know that humans are responsible for the
increasing levels of carbon dioxide in the atmosphere that lead to
climate change?
4.What are the consequences of increases in the concentrations of
carbon dioxide and other greenhouse gases?
5.What are some options suggested to help combat this issue?

The bacterial one-hybrid assay holds E. coli cells hostage until our protein of interest can active transcription and translation of enzymes from the HIS3 and URA3 genes. These enzymes are needed to produce Histidine and Uridine, which are both needed for cells to grow and divide. Make an estimate, based on enzyme kinetics and any other information you may need, of how many HIS3 and URA3 enzymes will an E. coli cell need to grow and divide at a normal rate. How many are needed when we add 10 mM 3-amino-1,2,4-triazole (3AT) to the growth medium as a competitive inhibitor of HIS3?
