Explain how the composition of breast milk compared with formula affects the microbiota of infants.

What will be an ideal response?


Answer: Breast milk contains ovligosacharides and provides the infant with lysozyme that kills gram positive pathogens. Pathogens are less likely to be established.
FOrmula fed tend to have higher concentrations of bacteria that are bad like clostirudium difficle.

To crack the genetic code, researchers introduced synthetic messenger RNAs into in vitro translation systems and determined which proteins were produced from these synthetic mRNAs. mRNAs consisting of poly-UUC led to production of three different proteins: poly-Phe, poly-Ser, and poly-Leu. What best explains this result?
