What is translation? 1.)a substance that speeds up a chemical reaction without being changed itself
2.)the synthesis of protein using the sequence of nucleotides in messenger RNA
(MRNA) to determine the amino acid sequence of the protein
3.)the process of the cell imementing the instructions of a gene
4.)the synthesis of an RNA molecule using a DNA molecule for a template

How are gene and protein sequences used to classify organisms?

25) a student takes four samples of a white crystalline solid and places each in a well plate. on top of each sample, she carefully places 20 drops of clear mystery liquids a, b, c and d. her results for each well are: liquid a: the solid dissolves quickly. liquid b: the solid appears unchanged. liquid c: a brownish colored liquid is produced. liquid d: fizzing occurs and the well becomes warmer. in which well does a physical change occur?

Bisphenol a (often called bpa) is a chemical found in products that people use every day, from water bottles to food containers to children's toys. unfortunately, bpa leaches out of its many products and makes its way into our bodies. what are the health effects of bpa exposure? ongoing research is finding that elevated exposure to bpa can affect a wide variety of developmental and physiological processes, but one of the first studies of bpa's health effects came about because of a simple mistake in the lab. at a laboratory at case western reserve university in 1998, geneticist patricia hunt was making a routine check of her female lab mice. as she extracted and examined developing eggs from the ovaries, she began to wonder what had gone wrong. she noticed that many of the eggs showed problems with their chromosomes, and some had irregular amounts of genetic material, which can lead to miscarriages and birth defects in mammals. she learned that a lab assistant had mistakenly washed the plastic mouse cages and water bottles with a harsh soap, releasing bpa from the plastic. knowing that bpa is an endocrine disruptor, a chemical that can enter organisms and mimic hormones, hunt set out to discover whether it had adversely affected her mice.
