coli). In our experiments‚ we had to amplify either the 18S rRNA or the actin gene found in D. Melanogaster. Actin is a major contractile protein found in all eukaryotic cells‚ accounting for 1-2% of the total cellular protein. As the major component of thin filaments‚ actin is one of the primary proteins responsible for muscle contraction. This protein is also found in D. Melanogaster. 18S rRNA genes constituent of the 40S subunit of eukaryotic ribosomes. 18S rRNA is involved in the initiation

Christopher Scott Biol 241 homework Professor: Greg Crowther 1. Compare and contrast the reasons cell division is important for unicellular and multicellular organisms. Cell division is the method in which single celled organisms reproduce. Cell division allows multi-cellular to grow and repair dead or damaged cells 2. Provide an example of why cell division remains important to an adult organism even after it isfully developed. Some cells divide to heal wounds such as cuts or broken bones.

Seasonal changes of buffalo colostrum: physicochemical parameters‚ fatty acids and cholesterol variation Abstract Background Colostrum has many beneficial effects on newborns due to its main compounds (proteins‚ fats‚ lactose‚ essential fatty acids‚ amino acids) as well as protective antibodies that confer to the body. The buffaloes are the second important species for milk production in the world after cows. The importance of the species is also conferred by a longer longevity‚ high dry content

Should Bacteria and Archaea belong to the same Kingdom? The main purpose of this essay is to find out if Archaea and Bacteria should be classified as two different Kingdoms or as a single one. As organisms‚ bacteria and archaea both are microscopic and prokaryotic (not possessing a true nucleus). These prokaryotes are very abundant on Earth and inhabit a wide spread of areas‚ including extreme ones. Both are an example of the most ancient living cells‚ which have appeared over 3.5 billion years
