A new protein factor named PF2 was recently isolated from mammalian cell nuclei. Among other protein domains, PF2 exhibits an RPD3-interacting domain (RPD3 contains the catalytic activity of the HDAC B complex) and a TFS-interacting domain (TFS is a DNA binding protein). PF2 does not have a DNA binding domain, however. Predict a likely function of PF2 and justify it. The importance of both domains should be explained.

In which of the following ways is the function of the surface of a microsphere similar to the function of an actual cell membrane? a. both make it possible for the conditions in the interior to be different from the conditions outside. b. both provide a barrier that keeps water from flowing across it so the interior remains dry. c. both separate the rna that forms in the interior from any rna that might form in the environment. d. both can actively move molecules into the interior or out into the surrounding environment.

In german cockroaches, curved wing (cv) is recessive to normal wing (cv+). bill, who is raising cockroaches in his dorm room, finds that the frequency of the gene for curved wings in his cockroach population is 0.6. in his friend joe’s apartment, the frequency of the gene for curved wings is 0.2. one day joe visits bill in his dorm room, and several cockroaches jump out of joe’s hair and join the population in bill’s room. bill estimates that, now, 10% of the cockroaches in his dorm room are individual roaches that jumped out of joe’s hair. what is the new frequency of curved wings among cockroaches in bill’s room? 0.69 0.4 0.5 0.31 0.20
