Please write a four-page lab report about model organisms, unPAK, and senescence in mutant and wild-type Arabidopsis thaliana. The report should include an abstract, an introduction, materials and methods, results, a discussion, and a conclusion. It should be 12 pt., Times New Roman, double-spaced, and include Council of Science Editors citations of author and year. Do not use the “&” sign anywhere to include references. I have attached more instructions, pictures, some articles, and links to help. There are some helpful links in the document titled Lab 1 Arabidopsis. The materials, methods, and results sections might be hard to do. My experiment was to see how long it would take for the mutant and wild-type Arabidopsis plants to die. The pictures with the data on them of 2-5-24 are the first pictures taken. You can use pictures from the internet too, they just need to be cited and listed in the reference section from where they were obtained. Do not worry about the graph. I will be doing that. If you have any questions do not hesitate to contact me.

please answer TWO (2) of the prompts below:
– Identify the steps in DNA replication including locations in prokaryotic and eukaryotic cells and important enzymes. 
– Define the steps of gene expression.  Be sure to specifically speak to the following: 
Transcription
Translation
– Define the following terms.  Are all mutations harmful? 
Mutation
Frameshift
Silent
Missense
Nonsense
– Discuss vertical versus horizontal gene transmission.  
– Compare the following terms and discuss  
Conjugation
Transformation
Transduction
Transposons 
– Explain how horizontal gene transfer can add to antibiotic resistance.  
Please use complete sentences and paragraph form. 
Post must include at least one APA 7th edition style in-text citation and full matching references of appropriate reading to support your responses.
Please use these links for your response. In-text citations can come from these links.:
