Design a microscopy experiment (widefield) testing the effect of Vertiporfin on cell death (step by step). What do we look for? which colour are we running, how long are we running it for?

Note: don't worry about the microscope, just design an experiment for staining of cells so it can be looked under widefield microscope

Name the key function of mitosis.
to replicate DNA within a cell
to generate two daughter cells genetically identical to the parent cell
to generate two daughter cells that through recombination are genetically similar to (but not identical) to the parent cell
to manufacture protein
to condense the DNA
Name two key functions of meiosis.
double the DNA content per cell in the production of gametes and properly segregate the chromosomes into each of the four sperm or egg cells formed per parent cell
halve the DNA content per cell in the production of gametes and properly segregate the chromosomes into each of the four sperm or egg cells formed per parent cell
halve the DNA content per cell in the production of somatic cells and properly segregate the chromosomes into each of the two daughter cells formed per parent cell
halve the RNA content per cell in the production of gametes and permit crossing over to occur
double the DNA content per cell in the production of gametes and permit crossing over to occur
In an attempt to simplify meiosis for the benefit of students, mad scientists develop a way of preventing premeiotic S phase and making do with having just one division, including pairing, crossing over, and segregation. Would the products of such a system differ from those of typical meiosis? Why?
The products would be identical to typical meiosis.
It would not work because the DNA needs to replicate in order for meiosis to function properly.
Such a system would generate two cells instead of four.
Such a system would not be able to provide genetically diverse gametes.
Human cells normally have 46 chromosomes. Let us define the transition from one cell to two cells as mitosis proceeds. What is the number of nuclear DNA molecules present in a human cell in metaphase of mitosis?

92 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 46 chromosomes each with two chromatids attached at the centromere.
46 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 23 chromosomes, each with two chromatids attached at the centromere.
23 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 23 chromosomes in each of two nuclei.

23 DNA molecules per cell or a haploid genetic composition.

Four of the following events are part of both meiosis and mitosis, but only one is meiotic. Which one?
chromatid formation
chromosome movement to poles
chromosome condensation
synapsis
spindle formation
Human cells normally have 46 chromosomes. Let us define the transition from one cell to two cells as meiosis I proceeds. What is the number of nuclear DNA molecules present in the human cells formed at the completion of meiosis I?
46 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 46 physically separate chromosomes in each new cell.
92 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 46 chromosomes each with two chromatids attached at the centromere.
46 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 23 chromosomes, each with two chromatids attached at the centromere.
23 DNA molecules per cell. Found as 23 chromosomes in each newly formed cell.
The newly formed cells will have variable numbers of chromosomes due to genetic recombination.

Louise is a 20-year-old woman who has been admitted to an acute mental health inpatient ward following an episode of self harming behavior.this is her first contact with mental health services. Louise presents with lacerations to both arms; some are superficial scratches, others, while of varying severity and depth, are not life-threatening. There are also visible scars on her arms from apparently previous incidents of self-harming behaviors.

Louise has been admitted via the local accident and emergency department following an initial CRISIS assessment by the hospital Mental Health Liaison Team. Louise had consumed half a bottle of vodka and also admitted to smoking cannabis prior to the incident. She denies having taken an overdose of any type and this is corroborated by normal blood test results. she was originally accompanied there by her mother who did not remain with her.

Louise does not appear remorseful for what she has done. She says she is depressed and angry with her parents who 'think she is worthless and do not care about me because  i haven't gone to university like my brothers'. She maintains that she doesn't need any help with her problems, claiming that they are down to 'my immaturity, as my parents keep telling me' and that I'll grow out of it with time.

Scientists decided to study, in vitro, the activity of the eukaryotic DNA polymerase Pol e.
1) In a first experiment, they apply a solution of Pol e on top of a chromatography column containing heparin. They collect the solution that elutes from the bottom of the column (flow-through). Their analysis reveals that the flow-through does not contain any protein.
What is the property of heparin demonstrated by this experience?

2) They designed a second experiment including 4 steps.
Step 1: A long single stranded DNA (M13) was incubated with a radiolabeled primer (P) with a sequence complementary to a short region of M13.
Step 2: The DNA/P complex was then incubated with the DNA polymerase, the 4 types of deoxyribonucleoside 3-phosphate (dNTPs), with or without heparin.
Step 3: After incubation for different length of times (0, 1, 2, and 4 minutes) the DNA polymerase is inactivated, the DNA is extracted and separated by agarose gel electrophoresis.
Step 4: The radioactive DNA was visualized by autoradiography.

Scientists compared the activity of two DNA polymerase: and Intact polymerase (Pol e WT) and, a mutant polymerase lacking a portion of the protein (Pol e D). Not that the deletion does not affect the catalytic activity of DNA Pol e.
The results of the experiments are listed in the figure below.

a) What does the 31 nucleotides (nt) fragment represent? Be specific
b) Why do you think the 31 nt fragment was not detected when Pol e WT was incubated with heparin?

c) By comparing the data for Pol e WT and Pol e D and based on what you know about this polymerase, could you identify the domain of Pol e missing in Pol e D Briefly explain?
