A friend of mine and I were talking about the virgin Mary, and he mentioned that it is possble, but of course VERY rare, that a woman can get pregnant without sperm. Though this can only result in the birth of a girl as women do not posess the y chromosome needed to produce a baby boy. (Thus having nothing to do with the birth of Jesus, but this isn't my point)

I did some internet searching and found a site where it mentioned an Australian scientist discovered a way to fertalize eggs without sperm, using somatic cells in the body. The cell has two sets of chromosomes, so they need to separate the cell to contain only one set, so it can properly fertalze the egg.

This doesn't confirm my friend's statement, however, as this process requires an outside force, and doesn't sound like it could happen naturally, which was his point all together.

I'm just wondering if anyone has heard of this before, and if they know anything about becoming pregnant naturally without sperm.

Some gerontologists (biologists who study aging) argue that the ultimate lifespan of a human is
limited by telomere copy number. Adult human cells have the gene for telomerase, but it is inactive in
all but the cells which give rise to sperm. Loss of just one telomere in a cell—the cell dies (generally).
Some feel that if the gene for telomerase could be “turned on” so that it expresses the active enzyme,
then we could become “immortal” (will not die from natural age-related afflictions). Dr. Struldbrug has
invented such a drug that can be taken once and one has active telomerase for the rest of one's life.
People are buying it in droves.


A) What are telomeres and what role to they play in cell division? Why are they necessary?
B) What will happen to the takers of Dr. Struldbrug's Immortal Elixir? From what afflictions will they
suffer (and die?) from more often than mere mortals?
C) What type of drug would you invent to combat those afflictions? How would it work?

You are studying a new primate species which you have just discovered in remote jungles of Africa.
You have brought back to the lab a lot cells that can be grown and used to isolate cellular components.
The standard methodology is to isolate random fragments of DNA, clone them, and do lots and lots of
sequencing to characterize the genome. You have already cloned restriction fragments in the size range
300-2000 bps but haven't yet sequenced them. Unfortunately, the Flat Earth Luddites (an
ultraultraconservative group) has decided biological knowledge is dangerous and managed to destroy
all the manufacturing plants for ddNTPs halting all large-scale sequencing projects.

Science must go on. Describe 5 experiments you will do do characterize the genome of this
primate. You can choose any genome-specific reasonable metrics. Include at least one that allows you
to make comparisons of it to the human, chimpanzee, and/or rhesus macaque (the genomes of these
primates are fully sequenced). Assume you can get any research materials from those organisms. You
can perform about a total of 10 kb of sequencing with dNTPs you have left over.

Please don't quote chicken and egg. Please don't explain how some animals are both male and female, All that is elementary bioligy. The question is, What happened to make the first gene split into the different sexes? The man/woman question is irrrelevant. Is it possible that M/W developed from differant species?

During synthesis of RNA, which strand of DNA is used? I'm really confused. The promoter region is where the nucleotides ATG are. Is that on the 5' to 3' strand or 3' to 5' strand? Is only the strand with the promoter region involved? If RNA Polymerase adds complimentary nucleotides starting with the codon AUG, wouldn't that mean the opposite DNA strand of the "ATG" strand be used instead of the "ATG" strand?
So in nutshell, I'd like to know which strand of DNA is relevant during transcription and which strand of DNA the promoter is located on.

alright so you know when your in english class and you get really bored talking about shakespeare? yea well i had one of those and i thought

statistically speaking, are left handed people smarter than right handed people? (higher iq or any other smartness testing thing)

and the use of one hand more than the other... is that genetic?
because i got bored and i decided i wanted to "train" my left hand to write better the whole class - i wrote the whole alphabet down in half an hour NEATLY!!!! =D

ok well yea any answers?
