Paste this sequence into blastx. What is the top result and how does it affect the host (brief)?
This tool automatically translates a sequence and checks for the protein in the database. Describe how that would be done biologically inside the infectious agent in detail

Expert Solution

Question

a. Figure : result of blastx

a. The result of blastx show that top result is "unease". This is the enzyme used by bacteria to convert urea into carbamic acid and ammonia. This process is required by bacteria to colonize in the host.

b. The infectious agent convert first DNA into mRNA (messenger RNA) and finally convert mRNA into protein. Therefore infectious agent follow the central dogma of biology to convert it's DNA into protein via mRNA to translate the protein in the host body.

In a certain risk group, individuals are tested for a certain disease S. A person who has the disease gets the correct diagnosis with probability 0.99, whereas a person who does not suffer from S gets the correct diagnosis with probability 0.95. Furthermore, it is known that 6% of the individuals in the group get the diagnosis “suffer from S”. Determine a) the proportion of individuals in the group who suffer from S, and b) the probability that a person...

A lab technician is tested for her consistency by taking multiple measurements of cholesterol levels from the same blood sample. The target accuracy in the past has been 2.5 or less with a standard deviation of 1.15. If the lab technician takes 16 measurements and the variance of the measurements in the sample is 2.2, does this provide enough evidence to reject the claim that the lab technician’s accuracy is within the target accuracy? At the a = .05 level...

A supreme court from a certain region recently ruled that employees can be tested for drugs only if management has reasonable cause to administer the test. An article in a certain magazine focused on the misclassification rates of such drug tests. A false positive occurs when a drug test administered to a non-drug user yields a positive result. A false negative occurs when a drug test administered to a drug user yields a negative result. Complete parts a and b....

From information found in the 2N3904’s datasheet (found with Google or on Blackboard), estimate the collector-emitter saturation voltage of the 2N3904 transistor at a collector current of 15 mA. You may perform a linear interpolation between the values found in the datasheet (ie: use the point-gradient formula learned in high school).

A survey of 822 randomly selected registered voters from a certain district found that 70.1% claimed to have voted in the last presidential election. Determine how many registered voters in this survey claimed to have voted in the last presidential election. Find a 95% confidence interval estimate for the proportion of registered voters who say they voted in the last presidential election in this district. Are the survey results consistent with the actual voter turnout for this district (which was...

An organization surveyed 613 high school seniors from a certain country and found that 325 believed they would not have enough money to live comfortably in college. The folks at the organization want to know if this represents sufficient evidence to conclude a majority (more than 50%) of high school seniors in the country believe they will not have enough money in college. (a) What does it mean to make a Type II error for this test? (b) If the...
