Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012epistatic gene - the gene that influences(Original post by otrivine)
what is hypostatic?
hypostatic gene - the gene that IS influenced -
Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012got it thanks(Original post by Dogs)
epistatic gene - the gene that influences
hypostatic gene - the gene that IS influenced
recessive- phenotype is expressed and not present with dominant allele
epistasis is the interaction of gene loci and masks the expression of another gene loci -
Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012It is because the bacteria will take up the lactose and break it down into glucose (remeber E.coli in the Lac Operon?) This means that there is no lactose present anymore. :')(Original post by rf229)
yeah, pretty much right. this is the mark scheme:
filter (to remove fungus) ;
fungus washed (to remove penicillin) ;
continuous countercurrent / chemical extraction ;
concentration ;
addition of potassium ions ;
precipitate crystals / (potassium) salts ;
solvents used to purify penicillin ;
AVP ; e.g. dried, some are chemically modified, 99.5% pure
and in response to your question I have no idea? because no lactose is present? idk -
Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012correct again!(Original post by otrivine)

im out for the night, probably be back tomorrow... you should relax soon! good luck with revision and exams! seeya -
Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012Okay(Original post by teaandscones)
reverse transcriptase
although technically it doesn't convert it, it just makes a complementary DNA strand so you're left with mRNA AND DNA
thank you!

Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012can you write this again sorry fatima ???(Original post by Fatima0065)
are clalcium ion use dto desoolve plasme mebrane when takein g up bactreia? -
Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012are calcium ions used to dissolve the cell wall,,or any other specific reason when taking up plasmid in bacteria(Original post by otrivine)
can you write this again sorry fatima ???

Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012calcium salts are used yes to break the peptidoglycan cell wall(Original post by Fatima0065)

Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012more resistance, mutation ,pass on to offspring advatageous alleles , can become resistant to anitibioitic conjugation , can cause more bacterias to divide?(Original post by Fatima0065)
Describe the advantages to microorganism of the capacityto take up plasmid DNA from the environment: -

Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012im sure is correct cause to check my answer i double checked in wikipedia(Original post by Fatima0065)
thanks!! :d -
Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012it is a therapeutic treatment where an allele that causes the disease is replaced with another allele that cures the ill/disease(Original post by Fatima0065)
explain what is meant by gene therapy -
Re: OCR Biology F215 Control, Genomes and Environment Fri 15 June 2012
This module is so hard :/ Can someone explain to me in depth what germline therapy and somatic therapy is? I slightly get the somatic but not the germline. And also the DNA probing and stuff is really confusing I need a lot of help :/ Please try not to explain from the textbook because I don't get it reading it from their so as much in your own words please.
