Choose the correct answer: During an annual wellness exam, a 62-year-old adult informs a primary care nurse practitioner of a recent onset of headaches which began several months prior to the visit. The patient states the headaches are increasing in frequency and severity. The patient has experienced episodes of balance disturbances during this time resulting several near falls. The patient has a prior history of migraine headache as a young adult, but reports no migraine days since completing menopause at 52-years-of-age. The patient has a history of osteoarthritis which is treated by acetaminophen (Tylenol) as necessary. The patient is allergic to penicillin. Which of the following should be integrated into the management plan for this patient?

Why can enhancers affect transcription even if they are far from the gene they regulate? a) The DNA molecule can bend, bringing the enhancer and promoter into close proximity b) Enhancers create new copies of RNA polymerase c) Enhancers block ribosomes from binding d) Enhancers attach directly to mRNA and modify its sequence

Choose the correct answer: A middle-aged adult reports being unable to donate blood because because their “blood count was low”. This is a new lab finding for this individual. The blood bank advised the patient to follow-up with a healthcare provider. While providing the history, the patient reports using over-the-counter naproxyn (Naprosyn) daily for arthritis of the knees. The patient is otherwise healthy, eats well, and generally exercises 3-4 times weekly. In addition to a complete blood count, which of the following tests will be most helpful to include in the baseline evaluation of this patient?

Consider that the bacteria E-Coli will turn off its lactose operon when it has access to glucose. Which option best describes how the presence of glucose causes E-coli to turn off its lactose operon? a.) Glucose is immediately turned into ATP. This ATP then phosphorylates RNA polymerase and causes it to fall off. b.) Glucose binds to cAMP to produce ATP. Without cAMP, CAP changes shape and is unable to help RNA polymerase bind to the promoter region. c.) Glucose binds to a misshapen repressor protein. This reverts the protein back to its functional state, allowing it to bind to the operator region again and halt RNA polymerase d.) Glucose creates a different environment that causes different introns to be spliced from mRNA. This creates different proteins that are unable to break lactose down. e.) Glucose has no effect on the lactose operon.
