Question asked by Filo student

Texts: A Caucasian woman and an African American man present to your office. The woman had a first cousin with CF who passed away prior to genetic testing. They request carrier screening with a sensitivity of 90% for Caucasians and 60% for African Americans. Testing is performed, and both individuals have normal results. What is the residual risk that they will have a child with CF? NOTE: The incidence of CF among African Americans is 1/15,000.

Some cells are placed in a solution of glucose to measure the rate of diffusion. As the concentration of glucose solution is being increased, the diffusion rate increases simultaneously. However, when the concentration of glucose solution reaches above 10 m, the diffusion rate no longer increases.
Which statement best define the mechanism of glucoses transport in the cells?
  1. Transport of hydrophilic substances along the concentration gradient through fixed membrane transport protein without the involvement of energy expenditure
  2. Transport of hydrophilic substances along and against the concentration gradient via carrier proteins
  3. Active transport via transporter proteins
  4. Facilitated diffusion without carrier proteins

Texts: Refer to the codon table shown above. The translation of the following mRNA nucleotides will result in what polypeptide? ALA ACA AA AGA lys AAG AGG A AUG met ACG GUU GCU GAU GGU E asp GAC OGC gly WD ou DD GAG GGG GLUC GCC GUA GCG GUG A. Codon table. Each codon in mRNA is a set of three nucleotide bases. The left column lists a codon's first base, the top row lists the second, and the right column lists the third. Sixty-one of the triplets encode amino acid; one of those, AUG, both codes for methionine and serves as a signal to start translation. Three codons are signals that stop translation. ala alanine (A) gly glycine (G) pro proline (P) his histidine (H) ser serine (S) asn asparagine (N) leu leucine (L) asp aspartic acid (D) trp tryptophan (W) cys cysteine (C) tyr tyrosine (Y) val valine (V) gln glutamine (Q) B.
