What is the possible pathogenesis of polycythemia vera?
In: Biology
explain how CD8, CD4 and B cells work together either in the lymphoid tissue OR at the site of infection.

Beginning with the binding of TFIID and extending through the addition of the PolyA tail, please outline the entire process of transcription in eukaryotes. Be sure that you address the transcription factors, binding of RNA Polymerase, the modifications made to the mRNA as transcription is occurring, the CTD tail and the phosphorylation patterns and what significance those have, and alternative splicing.

In a certain variety of onions, pungent smell (P) is completely dominant to subtle smell (p), yellow (A) is completely dominant to white (a), and large bulb (B) is completely dominant to small bulb (b). For the following crosses and results, what are the genotypes of the parents?
- pungent, large x subtle, large. 3⁄4 pungent, large; 1⁄4 pungent, small
- subtle, white x subtle, yellow 1⁄2 subtle, white; 1⁄2 subtle, yellow
- yellow, large x white, small 1⁄4 yellow, large; 1⁄4 white, small; 1⁄4 yellow, small; 1⁄4 white, large
- subtle, white, large x pungent, white, large. 1⁄2 pungent, white, large; 1⁄2 subtle, white, large
- subtle, yellow, large x subtle, yellow, small. all subtle, yellow, large
What phenotypic ratio is expected from a crossing an onion of genotype Pp Aa bb with an onion of genotype PP aa Bb?

Distinguish between inducible operons and repressible operons and explain how they work. Describe the three types of prokaryotic genetic recombination (conjugation, transformation, and transduction). Explain how recombination might interfere with the metabolic functions of operons, such as the lac operon or trp operon of E. coli.

In plants, twisted leaves, a hypothetical mutant phenotype, may be caused by either a chloroplast gene (CT = normal; Ct = twisted) or a recessive nuclear gene (NT = normal; Nt = twisted). Assume chloroplast DNA is maternally inherited. Predict the genotypic and phenotypic ratios in the offspring of the following crosses:
a. CT NtNt female x Ct NTNT male
b. Ct NtNt female x CT NTNT male
c. F1 male from cross (a) x F1 female from cross (b)

List five characteristics, in order from ancestral to derived that occurred during the eye development.
From early chordates' light sensitive pits to the current spherical evolved eye, in sharks for example.
