The utility of stable isotope labeling of RNA (RNA-SIP) is that cells do not need be actively dividing in order to incorporate radioactive precursors into ribosomal RNA.

Answer the following statements as they relate to the two enrichment protocols for metagenomic analysis of soil samples detailed below. Stable isotope labeling involves the use of a precursor such as 13C labeled methane. BrdU based labeling involves the use of the modified nucleotide 5-bromo-2-deoxyuridine.  1. Used for the enrichment of metabolically active cells in a population [option1] 2. Used to enrich for organisms that metabolize pollutants like phenol [option2] 3. Method uses an antibody to select for the enriched population [option3] 4. Generates a ‘heavier’ nucleic acid compared to unlabeled population [option4] 5. Output from the process can be analyzed by direct sequencing [option5] 6. Can be used to analyze environmental DNA or RNA in a sample [option6]

The ultimate goal of a microbial fuel cell is to

The generation of pathogen resistant transgenic plants relies on the introduction of foreign DNA into the host system. There are no examples where the disruption of the plant genome induces a beneficial phenotype.

Questions 17-32 are derived from material covered in Chapter 15 (“Transgenic Plants and Plant Biotechnology”) of your textbook.

Security personnel should prepare for court hearings, have good appearance, conduct good demeanor in court and should be honest in testimony even if the truth may hurt the outcome of the verdict.

The ______________________ theory suggested that ignoring small issues or criminal acts will consequently cause more crime and decrease of the quality of life in a community.

A security operation that is conducted in plain view and is designed to be observed as a method to deter crime would be considered as:

The most recent expansion of the American security profession came about as a direct response to the nations security needs after which event:

Is the following description adequate to describe differences between security and police? The role of security is important and differs from public police services due to several reasons.  Security is privately funded and serves the needs of the employer and not the general public.  The police are mostly reactive to issues and security can focus their efforts on being proactive to their employers needs.  The police tend to have an overwhelmingly high case load that prevents them from being able to allocate all of their resources whereas the private security is designed to focus on the job at hand without distraction.
