Discuss the importance of calcium ions and the detailed mechanisms they are involved in from when the action potential reaches the end of the neuron at the neuromuscular junction to the completion of the contraction of a muscle. Discuss in full detail how all the proteins in the structure of the muscle fibre function in contraction and why calcium ions are so important in the control. (15marks)

One of the newest applications of cell technology is called cybrid embryos. this process involves replacing the nuclear material of an animal cell with human nuclear material. how might this process affect public policies about research by using stem cells? the same policies and concerns about the use of human embryonic stem cells would most likely apply. the embryos would most likely be treated like traditional animal embryos and regulated accordingly. the process of forming cybrid embryos would most likely be banned by government regulators. the embryos would be treated as regular cells because they are not fully human in origin.

1. mendel observed that pea plants had traits, such as color, that were either “one or the other,” never something in between. discuss the correlation between mendel’s factors, what they might be, and why pea plant traits come in one form or another—e.g., gray or dark red—rather than blended.
