  1. Imagine that you could microinject cytochrome c into the cytosol of wild-type cells, and cells that express Bcl-2 at an abnormally high level. Would you expect one, both, or neither of the cell lines to undergo apoptosis (2 points)? Explain your reasoning (3 points).

Answer #1

cytochrome C in cytosol is pro apoptotic, WT cells will undergo apoptosis as interaction of cytochrome c and apoptotic protease activating factors(apaf) will lead to activation of caspases which will result in cell death

cells with abnormally high level of bcl-2 will not undergo apoptosis as it is antiapoptotic in nature and regulates the cytochrome c release from the mitochondria by inhibiting the Bax and Bak which are proapoptotic which permeabilise the mitochondria for cyt c release

WT cell undergo apoptosis

1. The lac operon responds to lactose and glucose. If wild-type E. coli cells are grown in media that contains both lactose and glucose, they will consume the glucose first because: (select all that apply) A.) the lac repressor remains bound to lacO, preventing the lac operon from being expressed at maximal levels B.) the permease (lacY) is not expressed in the presence of glucose, preventing lactose from entering the cell and being converted to allolactose, the inducer C.) the...

Part II – Genetic Basis of the Disorder As Alexander’s family and you have now discovered, spondyloepiphyseal dysplasia congenita (SEDC) is a genetic disorder in which the primary deficits are abnormal growth of one or more spinal vertebrae and the growing ends of the femurs, resulting in disproportionate, short-trunk dwarfism (Parikh & Crawford, 2017). Interestingly, both of Alexander’s parents, his grandparents and an older sister are of normal height. Therefore, what do you think the mode of inheritance is for...
