Texts: Identify possible types of enrichment for African Elephants. Include one possible example of each type of the 5 types of enrichment (sensory, feeding, social, cognitive/manipulative, and physical enrichment). Remember, some enrichment items may cross into more than one category. You may note if this is the case but still provide 5 total types of enrichment. End with a reflection on how the enrichment items picked may help promote animal welfare given the definition you provided.

Texts: You are trying to determine which sequences in your gene of interest bind to a specific transcription factor (TFalpha). You have identified 4 sites 5’ to the promoter of your gene and constructed four different DNA fragments. In each of these versions, you alter the sequence of some of the possible sequences (1-4) to a series of nonsense DNA (e.g. AAAAA). In the first construct, you alter just region 1; in the second, region 1 and 2; and in the third, region 1, 2, and 3. You conduct an electrophoretic mobility shift assay in which you add your various constructs of DNA plus the transcription factor. Below, the left-hand diagram shows the constructs, and the right-hand diagram shows the results of the EMSA. For each lane, the plus signs mean TFalpha was added, and the "-" means it wasn't. The added DNA is the same size in all lanes. The TFalpha is the only transcription factor added to the experiment. TFalpha binds to sites 1 AND 2: True/False TFalpha binds to sites 1 AND 3: True/False TFalpha binds to sites 2 AND 4: True/False Site 1 is necessarily an enhancer and cannot be a silencer: True/False Site 4 is an enhancer: True/False Site 2 could be an enhancer for a different transcription factor: True/False TFalpha Enhancers + + + + 1-4 1-4 2-4 3-4 4 Core 150 Coding sequence Cere 100 Molecular weight 50 25 Coding sequence 2-4 Core promoter Coding sequence 3-4 Core promoter 10
