activities of microorganisms that are beneficial to humans • describe prokaryotic and eukaryotic morphology and the distribution of microorganisms among the three domains in which living organisms are categorized • discuss the origin of life‚ the RNA world‚ and the evolution of microorganisms CHAPTER OUTLINE I. Microbiology—Introduction A. Microbes are found everywhere and are indispensable for cycling of essential elements on earth B. Most microbes are beneficial to society by producing foods

chromosomes indicates cosexuality is the ancestral angiosperm state and sex chromosomes evolved repeatedly and quite recently. In Silene ( Family Caryophyllaceae) some species are gynodioecious and others are hermaphroditic. ITS sequences of nuclear ribosomal RNA genes of Silene species indicates two origins of dioecy.Molecular clock datas suggest an age of < 20 million years for the heteromorphic sex chromosomes of the species Silene latifolia and S. dioica which means separate sexes may have evolved

Produced by cell clusters in the pancreas called the Islets of Langerhans‚ insulin is a hormone that regulates glucose concentration in the blood. It is a protein synthesised and stored by beta cells‚ which secrete it in surges responding to changes in glucose levels. (Hardin‚ Bertoni and Kleinsmith‚ 2012) Fig 1.

On researching new developments in the treatment of cystic fibrosis‚ I came across a very interesting article: “Ribosomal Stalk Protein Silencing Partially Corrects the ΔF508-CFTR Functional Expression Defect.” In the article‚ Viet et al1 reveal the potential application of the silencing of RPL12 (Ribosomal Protein L12)‚ to correct the ΔF508-CFTR biogenesis defect. As you know‚ cystic fibrosis is caused by a defect in the CF transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR gene)‚ or more specifically‚ mutations

The activities of MDM2 are highly controlled by extracellular and intracellular stress signals.These signals include genotoxic stress signals‚ ribosomal stress‚ oncogenic activation‚ and psychological stress signals. They function through distinct signalling pathways to regulate the ability of MDM2 to bind with p53‚ MDM2 E3 ubiquitin ligase activity‚ and the cellular localization of MDM2. The ability of MDM2 to export p53 to cytoplasm is blocked by the phosphorylation of MDM2 at these two positions
