Researchers were able to insert the promoter gene for Prx1 (a gene that switches it on) from bats into the mouse genome and the result is that those mice grew significantly longer finger bones than normal mice. Keeping in mind the information from the following question indicate 1) what term might best describe the relationship of the promoter gene for the Prx1 gene in mice vs bats and 2) what might have happened to this gene in bats (make sure that your answers to both questions are clear)?

Turtle hatchling survivorship rate is low in many turtle species due to predation. amanda researched the predatory rate on a species of turtle eggs in the red river. the eggs were harvested from trapped turtles and the egg's cloaca film (reproductive discharge) was either washed off or left on once gathered. research suggests that predators use the female's cloaca scent to locate the eggs. the eggs were only handled when wearing gloves and then reburied along islands where the turtles were trapped. the nests were monitored by cameras and manually on foot and data on nest predation were recorded. a. based on the experimental design, what is the dependent variable? b. based on the experimental design, what is the independent variable? c. based on the experimental design, what is the control?

As studied this week in the cell cycle, we saw how a cell moves through its life with a plan. as you transition from a student at uma to a valued member of your chosen career field, what will you put into place in your life to manage and to fit the new responsibilities of your career into your current life?
