Step 1: Why Aren’t We All Dark Skinned?
Dr. Jablonski and Dr. George Chaplin published a paper in which they theorize whether available UV around the world would enable individuals with different skin colors to synthesize an adequate amount of vitamin D.
Comparison of Geographic Areas in Which Mean UVB Intensity Would Not Be Sufficient for Vitamin D Synthesis by Populations with Different Skin Colors. Widely spaced diagonal lines show regions in which UVB radiation, averaged over an entire year, is not sufficient for vitamin D synthesis by people with lightly, moderately, and darkly pigmented skin. Narrowly spaced diagonal lines show regions in which UVB radiation is not sufficient for vitamin D synthesis by people with moderately and darkly pigmented skin. The dotted pattern shows regions in which UVB radiation averaged over the year is not sufficient for vitamin D synthesis in people with darkly pigmented skin.
Note: "Y" means that an individual with that skin pigmentation could synthesize sufficient vitamin D in the region indicated throughout the year. "N" means that the person could not.
a. Based on these data, describe the populations least likely to synthesize sufficient levels of vitamin D. Explain your answer with data from the figure.
b. How do these data support the hypothesis that the evolution of lighter skin colors was driven by selection for a balance between vitamin D and folate?
c. For a person living farther away from the equator, would the risk of vitamin D deficiency be uniform or vary throughout the year? If it would vary, how would it vary? Explain your reasoning.

Answer:

Beclin-1 is a protein that belongs to the BH3-only subfamily of the Bcl-2 family of proteins. It plays an important role in the regulation of autophagy, a process by which cells break down and recycle their own components. Beclin-1 promotes autophagy by interacting with other proteins to form a complex that initiates the process of autophagosome formation.

Under normal conditions, Beclin-1 is sequestered in complexes with anti-apoptotic proteins of the Bcl-2 family, such as Bcl-2 itself. However, under conditions of cellular stress, Beclin-1 is released from these complexes, allowing it to participate in autophagy induction.

Answer: White Fur

Explanation: aa means both parents gave the dog the recessive gene, so therefore the dog will have white fur.

a) Formula of an LP model for this problem is Cost = 2.5S + 0.5P

b) The optimal solution and the minimum-cost diet programme for John is S = 0, P = 18.8571, with a minimum cost of $3.3929 per day.

c) John will now eat 0 servings of steak and 20 servings of potatoes per day, with a cost of $10 per day.

(a) The LP model for this problem can be formulated as follows:

Minimize: Cost = 2.5S + 0.5P

Subject to:

12S + 2P ≥ 56 (Protein)

20S + 40P ≥ 800 (Calories)

2S + 1P ≥ 14 (Iron)

S, P ≥ 0

Where S is the number of servings of steak and P is the number of servings of potatoes.

(b) To solve the problem using the simplex method, we first need to convert the inequalities to equations by adding slack variables. The initial tableau is:

| 12 | 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 56 |

| 20 | 40 | 0 | 1 | 0 | 800 |

| 2 | 1 | 0 | 0 | 1 | 14 |

| -2.5 | -0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0 | 0 |

Since the initial tableau is infeasible, we need to use dual pivoting to find a feasible solution. The first step is to choose the most negative entry in the last row as the pivot column (column 1). Then, we choose the smallest positive ratio of the right-hand side to the pivot column as the pivot row (row 3).

The pivot element is 2. We divide the pivot row by the pivot element to get the new pivot row:

| 1 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 7 |

Then, we use the new pivot row to eliminate the other entries in the pivot column:

| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -3 | 8 |

| 0 | 35 | 0 | 1 | -10 | 660 |

| 1 | 0.5 | 0 | 0 | 0.5 | 7 |

| 0 | 0.75 | 0 | 0 | 1.25 | 17.5 |

Now, the initial tableau is feasible. We can continue the simplex method by choosing the most negative entry in the last row as the pivot column (column 2) and the smallest positive ratio of the right-hand side to the pivot column as the pivot row (row 2). The pivot element is 35.

We divide the pivot row by the pivot element to get the new pivot row:

| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0.0286 | -0.2857 | 18.8571 |

Then, we use the new pivot row to eliminate the other entries in the pivot column:

| 0 | 0 | 1 | 0 | -3 | 8 |

| 0 | 1 | 0 | 0.0286 | -0.2857 | 18.8571 |

| 1 | 0 | 0 | -0.0143 | 0.6429 | -2.4286 |

| 0 | 0 | 0 | -0.0214 | 1.4643 | 3.3929 |

The last row has no negative entries, so we have found the optimal solution. The optimal solution is S = 0, P = 18.8571, with a minimum cost of $3.3929 per day.

(c) To ensure that John receives at least 100% the recommended daily amount of vitamin C, we need to add an additional constraint:

0.01S + 0.3P ≥ 1

Converting this inequality to an equation by adding a slack variable, we get:

0.01S + 0.3P + S3 = 1

Adding this constraint to the initial tableau and repeating the simplex method, we get the following optimal solution:

S = 0, P = 20, S3 = 4, with a minimum cost of $10 per day.

Therefore, John will now eat 0 servings of steak and 20 servings of potatoes per day, with a cost of $10 per day.

If you started with 2 copies of a double-stranded DNA sequence and subjected it to 5 complete rounds of polymerase chain reaction (PCR), you would have 64 copies at the end of the reaction.


PCR is a method used to amplify DNA sequences, which means it can create many copies of a specific DNA sequence from a small starting amount. In each round of PCR, the DNA is heated to separate the double strands and then cooled to allow primers to bind to the single-stranded DNA.

Next, a heat-stable DNA polymerase enzyme is used to extend the primers and create new double-stranded DNA copies. Each round of PCR effectively doubles the amount of DNA, so after one round, you would have 4 copies (2 x 2). After two rounds, you would have 8 copies (4 x 2), after three rounds, you would have 16 copies (8 x 2). Then after four rounds, you would have 32 copies (16 x 2) and after five rounds, you would have 64 copies (32 x 2). So, after 5 complete rounds of PCR, you would have 64 copies of the original double-stranded DNA sequence.

The biological phenomenon that I am interested are drug resistance bacteria.

A specific question that could be asked is " How do bacteria develop drug resistance?

Hypothesis is: Bacteria develop drug resistance through genetic mutations.

Prediction: If we expose a population of bacteria to increasing concentrations of antibiotics over time, we will observe a gradual increase in the proportion of bacteria that are resistant to the antibiotics. We will also observe that the resistant bacteria have acquired specific genetic mutations or resistance genes that allow them to survive in the presence of antibiotics. Additionally, we can test this hypothesis by sequencing the genomes of both drug-sensitive and drug-resistant bacteria to identify the genetic changes responsible for drug resistance.

In order for one to draw the pictures of both a valley breeze and a mountain breeze, these information are important to note and know:

1. A valley breeze occurs during the day when the sun heats the mountain slopes, causing the air to rise and creating a low-pressure area. Thus, your diagram should depict a mountain in the day with the movement of the air.

2. A mountain breeze occurs at night when the mountain slopes cool faster than the valleys. This causes the air above the mountains to become cooler and denser, creating a high-pressure area. Thus, your diagram should depict a mountain in the night with the movement of the air.

A breeze is a light, gentle wind that is typically pleasant and refreshing. Breezes are usually characterized by their relatively low speed, which is typically less than 10 miles per hour.

The higher affinity of Hb A for 2,3-BPG affects the flow of oxygen between the mother and fetus during pregnancy. When 2,3-BPG binds to Hb A, it causes a decrease in oxygen affinity and therefore, a decrease in the amount of oxygen that can be transported.

This decrease in oxygen affinity is beneficial to the fetus, because it allows the mother's blood to release more oxygen to the fetus. On the other hand, Hb F has a lower affinity for 2,3-BPG, so it is able to bind oxygen more readily and transport it to the fetus. Thus, during pregnancy, the balance between Hb A and Hb F helps to ensure an adequate supply of oxygen to the fetus.

a. The total recombinants do you expect to see for 1000 progeny is 175 total recombinants

b. TOTAL nonrecombinants we would expect to see is 825 total nonrecombinants

c . 412.5 of each nonrecombinant phenotype we would expect.

A. Based on the map distance, we can expect to see 175 total recombinants for 1000 progeny. This is because the map distance of 17.5 m.u. means that 17.5% of the progeny will be recombinants.

To find the total number of recombinants, we simply multiply the map distance by the total number of progeny:

17.5 m.u. x 1000 progeny = 17500 m.u. 17500 m.u. / 100 m.u. per 1% = 175 total recombinants

B. For 1000 progeny, we can expect to see 825 total nonrecombinants. This is because the remaining 82.5% of the progeny will be nonrecombinants. To find the total number of nonrecombinants, we simply multiply the percentage of nonrecombinants by the total number of progeny:

82.5% x 1000 progeny = 825 total nonrecombinants

C. To find the expected number of each phenotype, we simply divide the total number of recombinants and nonrecombinants by 2, since there are two possible phenotypes for each gene:

175 total recombinants / 2 = 87.5 of each recombinant phenotype 825 total nonrecombinants / 2 = 412.5 of each nonrecombinant phenotype

Therefore, we can expect to see 87.5 gray-bodied, short-legged flies (Bli), 87.5 black-bodied, long-legged flies (bLI), 412.5 gray-bodied, long-legged flies (BLI), and 412.5 black-bodied, short-legged flies (bli).

The final solution to the absolute value inequality |u|-19<-9 is u∈(-10,10)

To solve the absolute value inequality |u|-19<-9, we need to isolate the absolute value on one side of the inequality and then use the definition of absolute value to create two separate inequalities.

First, let's add 19 to both sides of the inequality to isolate the absolute value:

|u|-19<-9

|u|<-9+19

|u|<10

Next, we can use the definition of absolute value to create two separate inequalities:

u<10 AND u>-10

This means that the solution to the original inequality is any value of u that is between -10 and 10.

A) RGS proteins have a crucial role in regulating G protein-coupled receptor (GPCR) signaling by stimulating the intrinsic GTPase activity of the Ga subunit.

By doing so, RGS proteins can rapidly terminate the signal transduction initiated by GPCRs, leading to a decrease in downstream signaling events.

The presence of RGS proteins results in a shorter duration of GPCR signaling, which can prevent overstimulation of cells and maintain appropriate cellular responses.

B) If RGS proteins were not produced in cells, the signal transduction pathways mediated by GPCRs would be prolonged, leading to sustained downstream signaling events. This sustained signaling could result in pathological cellular responses, such as uncontrolled proliferation or abnormal neurotransmitter release.

Additionally, the absence of RGS proteins could impair the ability of cells to rapidly adapt to changes in their environment, as they would be unable to terminate GPCR signaling efficiently.

Purine catabolism is the process by which purines are broken down into their simpler components. The final product of purine catabolism is uric acid.

Uric acid is a product of the breakdown of purines and is the end product of purine catabolism. It is a nitrogenous waste product that is excreted in the urine.

Uric acid is formed when purines are broken down by enzymes in the liver and small intestine. The end product of this breakdown is uric acid, which is then released into the bloodstream and removed from the body in the urine.

Uric acid is an important part of the body's natural detoxification process and helps to eliminate toxic substances from the body. It also helps to maintain the balance of pH in the body and helps to prevent the formation of kidney stones.

Glycerol-based phospholipids are also known as phosphoglycerides or glycerophospholipids. The majority of biological membranes are made up of them. It is recognised that there are two main classes: one for archaea and another for bacteria and eukaryotes.

Any derivative of glycerophosphoric acid with at least one O-acyl, O-alkyl, or O-alk-1'-enyl residue linked to the glycerol moiety is referred to as a glycerophospholipid. With the glycerol, the phosphate group forms an ester bond. The long-chained hydrocarbons are commonly joined by ether links in archaea and ester connections in bacteria and eukaryotes. The lipids in bacteria and procaryotes are often diesters of C16 or C18 fatty acids. These acids are straight-chained and may be unsaturated, particularly for the C18 members. Since they are generated from isoprene units, the hydrocarbon chains for archaea have chain lengths of C10, C15, C20, and so on. One methyl substituent exists in each C5 subunit of these branched chains. Ether connections bind these chains to the glycerol phosphate. 

The polar head, which primarily consists of the phosphate group connected to the third carbon of the glycerol backbone, is hydrophilic in contrast to the two hydrocarbon chains that are coupled to the glycerol. Glycerophospholipids are amphipathic as a result of these two characteristics.
