I need help with numbers 1-4
1. What makes the reflective tissue of the Hawaiian bobtail squid, Euprymna 2. Is the isolation of reflectins a fairly complex or simple procedure? Please 3. Why are there so many bands in the left half of figure 2C and so few 4. Would an amino acid composition of reflectins be a valuable piece of scolopes, unique among reflective tissues throughout the animal kingdom? justify your answer by referring to a particular figure or protocol from the paper bands in the right half? Please include in your answer a brief description of the technique used to produce the figure information? Why or why not? Is the amino acid sequence less, equally, or more valuable than the amino acid composition? Again, refer to a specific figure and the techniques used to generate that figure as part of your answer Science 9 January 2004 Vol. 303. no. 5655, pp. 235 -238 DOI: 10.1126/science. 1091288Explanation / Answer
1. The tiny Hawaiian bobtail squid Euprymna scolopes hunts for shrimp at night and buries itself in the sand during the day . The new proteins, which the researchers dubbed reflections,are found in a special organ in the squid's belly called the light organ reflector.
A family of unusual proteins is deposited in flat , structural platelets in reflective tissues of squid Euprymna. Reflective tissues are prevalent across the animal kingdom, being particularly conspicuous in species that live in the visually homogeneous pelagic envirienvir of the ocean.
