Are there other reagents that are redoxed preferentially in the crossed Cannizzarro? (references appreciated)

And if so, would their home of record be the country they joined from?

I have an assignment due tonight. I am not asking for anyone to do my homework, but rather to point me in the right direction in answering these questions. Thank you!

You have to answer two of the following three questions:

1. Eukaryotic genomes are generally one thousand times larger than bacterial genomes, and the variation of genome size among eukaryotes is considerable. Recently a synthesis paper codified what many of us have believed for years: mobile elements are the drivers of genome evolution and this ability is due to epigenetic mechanisms specialized in eukaryotes. Discuss

(a) why epigenetic mechanisms are a valuable regulatory tool for both positive and negative regulation,

(b) why epigenetic processes that lead to transgenerational inheritance provide the cell with an additional dimension in lieu of making evolutionary genomic changes,

(c) why the abundance of miRNAs and their antagonistic ceRNAs can also be a driver of evolution without changing protein gene sequences.

2. Oncogenesis has many causes. Discuss

(a) why mutation in a single repair protein gene sequence (such as BRCA1) will lead to oncogenesis at a later time rather than immediately,

(b) why this repair protein mutation will lead to mutations in different genes in different individuals,

(c) quantitative (promoter sequence) versus qualitative (enzyme activity) changes that can lead to oncogenesis, and

(d) why rather than having a specific gene mutated, mutations that affect epigenetic mechanisms can lead to oncogenesis.

3. As evolution proceeds we often find that neither the genes nor non‐coding RNAs accrue mutations. Rather, it is either the core promoter that has changes or the position for the activator protein sequence. Discuss

(a) why core promoter consensus sequence and motif presence/absence can affect gene expression

(b) why activator protein sequence locale causes species‐specific expression patterns (caution: not how, not examples, but WHY the movement of an activator protein sequence leads to changes in

expression).

(c) why changes in the level of protein synthesis initiation affect evolution even though the protein itself remains unchanged.

My wife and children are returning home for a while and our house is rented to someone else. If you know of anyone renting or selling a house in Tan Thach, please have them email me through YA.

Thanks

It has to be the Tieng Viet version. I would like to download it for a power-point presentation.

Anh Tran, Chi Lam ????? O Dau?????

As a regular contributor to this site, I often reference the the official USMC history. However, I'm a former Marine, there might be a bias to my thoughts. As the anniversery of the Tet Offensive (68) approaches, how do we guide the multitude of high school kids (American and Viet) who will be seeking honest information? Any thoughts for a fair and balanced narrative???

Just an additional thought,,,history is a lie if it's not the truth.

Next month, a fellow student and I have to prepare some food for our Viet language class. It should be traditional, easy to make and serve 16 people. A link to the recipe would be very nice.

Thanks

The instructions are in Vietnamese and I don't know the language well enough to understand them.

This is from an email my former boss (MajGen, MOH, ret) sent to me. Semper Fi!

Interesting statistics - FY 2010:

IS THIS WHERE THE EXPRESSION “MORE BANG FOR THE BUCK” CAME FROM??

Are you aware that the new "pulse" feature of yahoo probably puts more info on the web than you'd want to share. Click your avatar and click pulse to see what's online.

BTW; Anh Trant, I've respected your posts for years. I remember you before you changed your "name". Feel free to email me, (that goes for ong Jon as well) For the rest of my online friends, check your "pulse" account. I think mine has been "sanitized". If not, please send me an email. Thanks!

We have 2 hours and 40 minutes to make our connecting flight. Will that be enough time for my wife and stepdaughter to clear Customs/Immigration ?

They are travelling with IR (Immediate Relative) Visas.

We only have 2 hours and 40 minutes to make our connecting flight.

They must immigrate to America by October, 2010. How long must they remain in the country before they can return to their home country. We have permanent residences in the US and overseas and would prefer to spend most of our time in their country.

I brought a Sony PS2 a few years back and could never get games I purchased in Viet Nam to work on it. Which game console will play Viet games?

I had trouble buying games in Vn that worked in my PS II. I want to bring a new console that plays Viet games.

If so, why"

Is it all wolves or only Amercan ones?

Also, if you know the "asking price", I would appreciate it.

They do not have them at the Honda dealer in Ben Tre.

My father-in-law, Pham Ba Tong, recently passed. Please say a prayer for him.

Thanks

It's been almost 3 months and I just want to ravish her. lol Somehow, I think this isn't the best approach.

Any advice, ladies?
