Use the following information for the next six questions. In normal cells there is little production of a protein known as XL-5. However, infection of cells with the RWV virus causes them to produce high levels of XL-5. It is already known that the lipids in the RWV virus stimulate production of XL-5 in the infected cell, yet it is not yet known whether either of the other two types of viral molecules (protein and DNA) also induce cells to produce high levels of XL-5. To address that question, the scientists conducted the following experiment: they purified DNA, lipid, and protein from the virus and injected each individually into normal cells as described below.  Following the indicated treatments, cells were broken open and the level of protein XL-5 (ug/ul) was measured. The data represent the mean value ± the standard deviation from 9 samples each. Group Condition XL-5 produced (ug/ul) 1 Cells injected with the viral DNA 25 ± 24 2 Cells injected with the viral lipids 36 ± 18 3 Cells injected with the viral proteins 12 ± 12 4 Cells only (uninfected) 7 ± 15

The nontemplate strand of a DNA molecule has the sequence 5’TCTCGC3′. What is the sequence of the anticodon/tRNA for the first amino acid in the sequence?

 _____________ holds that a right action is one that conforms to a rule that, if followed consistently, would create for everyone involved the most beneficial balance of good over bad.

A patient is very dehydrated. This dehydration caused a loss of water in the cells and left behind high levels of salt inside the cells. You want to give the patient an IV that will allow the patient to absorb the water into their cells rather than it being filtered and peed out. Which of the following solutions would drive water into the cells of this dehydrated individual due to a concentration gradient difference?

Use this information to answer the next four questions. Investigators determined the effects of noise stress on heart rate.  Rats (n=6) were prepared with indwelling arterial catheters so that heart rate could be monitored.  Average heart rate for a 10 minute period was recorded for each rat under quiet conditions.  The rats were then exposed to continuous loud noise and the average heart rate was again recorded for 10 minutes. The data are presented below.   Group 1: Quiet Heart Rate (beats per minute) Group 2: Noise Heart Rate (beats per minutes) Rat 1 385 450 Rat 2 360 440 Rat 3 375 460 Rat 4 350 400 Rat 5 400 480 Rat 6 370 430

Some viruses attack cells by inserting their DNA into the host cells’ DNA and taking over the DNA machinery. Why might it be simpler for these viruses to attack prokaryotic cells than eukaryotic cells?
