An experiment was performed to determine the role that ATP plays in kinesin movement along microtubules. Kinesin and microtubules were incubated together in a test tube, but instead of ATP, a non-hydrolyzable analog of ATP was added to the tube.

What impact on kinesin function do you expect to observe in the presence of this ATP analog?

A. The kinesin would be unable to bind to microtubules since the kinesin would remain inactive.

B. The leading head would bind tightly, but the trailing head would remain free.

C. The kinesin would walk faster along the microtubule since the kinesin would remain active while bound to ATP.

D. The kinesin would bind tightly to microtubules and not release.

You will create a molecular clock model for an arthropod gene. follow these guidelines to make your model: . your timeline will span from 90 million years ago to the present. the common ancestor in your model is an arthropod that lived 90 million years ago. the gene that you'll track codes for a protein in the species venom . the dna sequence youll track contains 10 nitrogen bases. you can choose the order of the bases and where the mutations occur. this gene mutates at a rate of approximately 0.76 base pairs every 17.1 million years. to build your model,/ calculate the estimated time period it takes for 1 base pair to mutate. the first time period will only show the common ancestor. at the beginning of the second time period, three lineages will diverge from the common ancestor, each with a different mutation in their gene sequences. the first and third descendant species will survive for the rest of the timeline. the second descendant species was extinct 50 million years ago. calculate how long it will take for one full base pair mutation to occur. explain your reasoning by constructing a mathematical equation

There are few cells in the body that do not undergo mitosis: most somatic cells divide regularly, some more than others. take for example the cells that line the digestive tract. these cells must be frequently replaced because they are constantly eroded by the movement of food through the tract. what mechanism(s) is/are in place to ensure that these cells are exact copies of the mother cell
