Address how cooperative binding contributes to SSB function during DNA replication. What is the advantage of such binding for SSB activity? Solution Single-strand DNA-binding protein (SSB) is 178 amino acids long protein, found in E. coli, that binds to single-stranded poly nucleotide strand of double helix DNA and prevents reannealing of poly nucleotide strands and allow various aspects of DNA metabolism: replication, recombination, and repair. As in E. Coli, the DNA replication initiate at Ori site. During initiation, the helicase opens the double stranded DNA into single poly nucleotide strands, eventually the SSB proteins bind to the seperated poly nucleotide strands and prevents reannealing and facilitates sliding of DNA polymerase and DNA replication. Here binding of single SSB promotes massive binding of SSB proteins to the poly nucleotide strand, called cooperative binding. Such cooperative binding facilitates the uninterupted synthesis of new DNA molecules..

why might bacteria need to alter gene expression when their environment changes? Solution Bacteria need to alter the gene expression according to the changing environment. As bacterial gene is expressed in the form of operons which function according to the regulatory element, which can either be inducer or repressor. If inducer is present in the environment gene expression is promoted as inducer binds with regulator and RNA Polymerase can bind to DNA, while if repressor is present in the environment, gene expression is suppressed. therefore bacteria alter their gene expression according to the change in environment..

Where is the cell body of the neuron that directly causes SA node cells to depolarize faster? Solution The cell body of the nerve fibres which directly causes the depolarization of Sino Atrial node or SA node is located in the parasympathetic and sympathetic nerves of autonomous nervous system. This depolarization is spontaneous because the SA node is responsible for the cintraction of all the other muscles of the heart. Therefore the action potential which is generated at SA node passes down the other pacemeker cells like AV nodes and conduction of impuslse throughout the heart muscles..

what are some barriers a company might need to overcome when entering the global market? and what are some sources of financing for a new business? Limit your post to one source, and include some pros and cons. Solution Barriers to entry into markets for firms include: · Advertising - Incumbent firms can seek to make it difficult for new competitors by spending heavily on advertising that new firms would find more difficult to afford. This is known as the market power theory of advertising. Here, established firms\' use of advertising creates a consumer perceived difference in its brand from other brands to a degree that consumers see its brand as a slightly different product. Since the brand is seen as a slightly different product, products from existing or potential competitors cannot be perfectly substituted in place of the established firm\'s brand. This makes it hard for new competitors to gain consumer acceptance. · Capital - need the capital to start up such as equipment, building, and raw materials · Control of resources - If a single firm has control of a resource essential for a certain industry, and then other firms are unable to compete in the industry. · Cost advantages independent of scale - Proprietary technology, know-how, favorable access to raw materials, favorable geographic locations, learning curve cost advantages. · Customer loyalty - Large incumbent firms may have existing customers loyal to established products. The presence of established strong brands within a market can be a barrier to entry in this case. · Distributor agreements - Exclusive agreements with key distributors or retailers can make it difficult for other manufacturers to enter the industry. · Economy of scale - The increase in efficiency of production as the number of goods being produced increases. Cost advantages can sometimes be quickly reversed by advances in technology. For example, the development of personal computers has allowed small companies to make use of database and communications technology which was once extremely expensive and only available to large corporations. · Government regulations - A rule of order having the force of law, prescribed by a superior or competent authority, relating to the actions of those under the authority\'s control. Requirements for licenses and permits may raise the investment needed to enter a market, creating an effective barrier to entry. · Inelastic demand - One strategy to penetrate a market is to sell at a lower price than the incumbents. This is ineffective with price-insensitive consumers. · Intellectual property - Potential entrant requires access to equally efficient production technology as the combatant monopolist in order to freely enter a market. Patents give a firm the legal right to stop other firms producing a product for a given period of time, and so restrict entry into a market. Patents are intended to encourage invention and technological progress by guaranteeing proceeds as an incentive.

The idea that, when life originated on Earth, a macromolecule other than DNA served the role of information storage and that this same macromolecule carried out catalysis is called the _____ hypothesis. 1) macromolecular world 2) water world 3) carbon world 4) RNA world The idea that, when life originated on Earth, a macromolecule other than DNA served the role of information storage and that this same macromolecule carried out catalysis is called the _____ hypothesis. 1) macromolecular world 2) water world 3) carbon world 4) RNA world Solution 4) RNA world In 1986, the RNA World Hypothesis was proposed by Walter Gilbert, on the possibility of RNA self-replication. However, the ability of the RNA molecules to catalyze the synthesis of another identical RNA is questioned. Many of the ribozymes can catalyze either the formation or breakup of phosphodiester bonds. In prokaryotes, the 23S and in eukaryotes, the 28S large subunits of rRNA are ribozymes, which catalyze the formation of peptide bonds. Many of the naturally occurring ribozymes can catalyze only one reaction, for example the self- splicing introns. The properties these ribozymes are far away from the expectations of RNA World Hypothesis. Perhaps, the self-replicating RNA was existed during the times of evolution but was replaced by the more stable DNA molecules..

The amount of DNA per cell of a particular species is measured in cells found at various stages of meiosis and the cell cycle, and the following amounts are obtained: 3.7 pg, 7.4 pg, and 14.6 pg. Cells that contain 3.7 pg of DNA are likely found in which of the following stages? G1 G2 Prophase I Following telophase II and cytokinesis Anaphase I The amount of DNA per cell of a particular species is measured in cells found at various stages of meiosis and the cell cycle, and the following amounts are obtained: 3.7 pg, 7.4 pg, and 14.8 pg. Cells that contain 7.4 pg of DNA are likely found in which of the following stages? G1 G2 Prophase I Following telophase II and cytokinesis Anaphase I Solution After the completion of replication and prior to cytokinesis, a cell will have double the amount of DNA. Suppose a normal cell had X pg of DNA in its resting/G0 phase, then at the end of replication and before cytokinesis it will have 2X pg of DNA. The contents of the cells are halved at the end of meiosis I, therefore now, each cell would again have X pg of DNA (2X/2= X). However at the end of meiosis II, a single cell would have divided to 4 cells, hence each cell will contain X/2 pg of DNA. At G1 phase, no replication of DNA occurs. Therefore the amount of DNA at this phase would be normal. Hence the phase with 7.4 pg of DNA would be the G1 phase. At G2 phase, the amount of DNA is double as it occurrs right after the S pahse. Hence, this phase will have 14.8 pg of DNA. At Prophase I, the amount of DNA is double the normal amount since cytokinesis has not yet occurred. Therefore, this phase too will have 14.8 pg of DNA. Following Telophase II and cytokinesis, each cell would have been divided into 4 cells. So each cell will only contain X/2 pg of DNA. Hence, the cells at this phase will have 3.7 pg of DNA. At Anaphase I, the amount of DNA is double the normal amount since cytokinesis has not yet occurred. Therefore, this phase too will have 14.8 pg of DNA..
