Getting rid of my account might as well do it with some fun make sure to read all of this it is hilarious a plane was about to crash and there were 5 people on board and only 4 parachutes. the first person said: " i am roy keane, one of the best footballers in ireland. i am worth a lot of money and my fans need me so i think i should be saved." the others agreed and gave him one of the parachutes and off he went. the second person said: "i am gerry adams, a radical irish politician who can really my country and i think i should be saved." the others said: "o.k.", and gave him a parachute. the third person said: "i am george bush, president of the most powerful country in the world. everyone knows i am a really nice guy and everyone thinks i am stupid,but i'm not, so i am taking a parachute." and off he went. there were two people left, the pope and a 10 year old schoolgirl. the pope said: "child, i am old and frail and have lived my life while you are young, with everything before you. you take the parachute and i will stay with the aircraft and take my chance." "it's o.k." said the girl, "there are still two bush picked up my schoolbag."

Neelaredoxin is a 15-kda protein that is a gene product common in anaerobic prokaryotes. it has superoxide-scavenging activity, and it is constitutively expressed. in addition, its expression is not further induced during its exposure to o2 or h2o2 (silva, g., et al. 2001. j. bacteriol. 183: 4413–4420). which of the following statements best describes neelaredoxin synthesis? a-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; levels are constant even when exposed to o2 or h2o2.b-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 increases expression.c-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 decreases or prevents expression.d-neelaredoxin is only produced when there is exposure to o2 or h2o2.
