Why are these macromolecules (DNA and RNA) called nucleic ACIDS if they are made up of BASES.
Finally, answer the following question: Does society or science know what is best.
We start with a population in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium with a q of 0.4 and a p of 0.6. What are the genotype frequencies? Now we have this population.
A group of 6 bodies is found buried in the woods, three adult males, one adult female, and two children. They are thought to include a missing family.
At a particular autosomal STR locus a man has alleles 5 and 8 and his wife has alleles 7and 4. What are all possible allele combinations for their offspring.
The O.J. Simpson trial highlighted the importance of proper evidence handling and sample processing. Despite overwhelming DNA evidence connecting Simpson to the double murder, the jury in his crimin
Two weeks later, Mark promoted Gene to health care administrator of Acre Woods. Gene took over Sarah's activity program duties and re-assigned her to the assisted living unit.
Is there any way that an aberration during Meiiosis I or Meiosis II can result in an offspring with a normal genome.
What is pedigree analysis? How can pedigree analysis be used to predict the phenotype of offspring.
Discuss the proposition that exon shuffling and alternate splicing provide a means for generating diversity in protein structure.
Why do gene frequencies in a population change? Why don't they stay the same from one generation to the next? Explain how the processes of mutation, crossover, and natural selection can provide an a
Consider the other European families affected by the hemophilia gene. If you were a member of one of these families, what would be some implications.
How did Mendel's approach to answering scientific questions differ from that of his contemporaries.
The situation is: I am blue eyed, my mother is green eyed and my dad is brown eyed. This far so good, no problems: I thought,my mum is green.
In cattle, hornless is dominant to horned, red coat color is incompletely dominant to white, where the heterzygote has a color called roan. What would the parental genotypes be in the following cros
In the cross AaBbCcDd x aaBbccDd, each of the 4 genes is inherited independently from the other 3 genes (the genes are all unlinked), and each of the four genes exhibits complete dominance.
In Drosophila, vestigial (partial formed) wings (vg) are recessive to normal long wings (vg+), and the gene for this trait is autosomal. The gene for the white eye trait is on the X chromosome. Supp
The genes for both the alpha-and beta-globin chains of hemoglobin contain introns (i.e., they are split genes). How would this fact affect your plans if you wanted to introduce the gene for alpha-gl
Discuss the mechanisms by which transcription of mRNA can be terminated in prokaryotic cells.
What unique ability do DNA molecules have? Why is this ability so important.
Biotechnology allows us to use living organisms or their processes for human needs or purposes. This current topic includes such examples as cloning.
Describe how this relates to Gregor Mendel's patterns of inheritance.
APunnett Square represents a cross (mating) between a male (on the left side) with blood type AB, and a female, (top of square), with blood type A, genotype Ao.
Eukaryotic cells can divide by mitosis or meiosis. In humans, mitosis produces new cells for growth and repair. And, meiosis produces sex cells (gametes), called sperm and eggs.
Postulate why populations in northern climates have gene pools in which most members have the recessive genotype (bb for blue) for eye color, while populations in Africa and South America more often
