Identify the most likely mode of inheritance found in this pedigree
I think that the most likely mode would be autosomal dominance with incomplete penetrance because it did skip one generation. Any help would be greatly appreciated. Let me know what you think it is and please also write why you think it is that. Thanks!
Identify the phenotypes and genotypes of all the people shown in this pedigree.
Complete Practice Problem 20 on page 615 in the textbook. Identify the phenotypes and genotypes of all the people shown in this pedigree. Rolling the tongue (R) is dominant over inability to roll the tongue as it remains flat (r).
Hint: What kind of inheritance is this? How do you assign symbols? See (sr) Pedigree Analysis. Did you assign all non-shaded individuals
Where does the cut take place in palindrome sequence
In the case of restriction enzymes, I know that it chooses Palindromes, but where does the exact cut take place? Is it always between A and T base pairs or Can it occur between any base pairs in a palindrome sequence.
Visualizing exons and their respective trancripts and protein domains.
I am building a script that takes exons from a particular gene and then plots them by their base pair coordinates on a 2D graph. Using data from Ensembl, I can match each exon to its respective transcript and protein domain.
I use data from Ensemble to match each domain to the gene base pairs responsible for its formation; I can then plot the protein domains above their r

A given enzyme consists of two subunits (a dimer), which are specified by a single gene locus.
i.If a = normal subunit and a’ = mutated subunit, what subunit combinations might be found in a heterozygote, assuming random association between these subunits?
ii.If the mutation resulted in a net change in the charge of the molecule, how many bands would be detecta
Calculate the number of mismatches that could occur in one human cell during one
Calculate the number of mismatches that could occur in one human cell during one round of replication in the absence of mismatch repair. Assume that mismatch repair decreases the number of mutations by a factor of 1000. Express your answer using two significant figures.
Calculate the number of mismatches that could occur in one human cell during one
Calculate the number of mismatches that could occur in one human cell during one round of replication. Assume the size of the human genome is 3.2 billion base pairs. Assume the error rate is 1 mismatch per 10^10 bp. Express your answer using two significant figures.
You decide to cross the reciprocal translocation strain to a pure (black, sepia)
You decide to cross the reciprocal translocation strain to a pure (black, sepia) line to generate female F1 flies that are both translocation heterozygotes and BbSs dihybrids.
You then backcross these F1 females to males from the pure (black, sepia) line. This diagram shows synapsis in the F1 females. (In the diagram, NII = normal chromosome II; TII = translocated chromos

The small fragments would hybridize together b. The small fragments would not hybridize to native DNA c. The small fragments would hybridize to the leading strand; the
In green turtles, an odd number of plates on there shell is dominant over an even number of plates. On the same chromosome is a gene for ear spot color with red being dominant over orange. On this same chromosome is the gene for strip color on the body with yellow being incompletely dominant with blue strips. These turtles were crossed in a breeding experiments and the following dat
