Part A Determine the appearance for northern blots of the bacteria listed below. In each case, lane 1 is for mRNA isolated after growth in a glucose-containing (minimal) medium, and lane 2 is for mRNA isolated after growth in a lactose-only medi
You have screened for several new recessive mutations in a species of wasp. Wasps homozygous for apricot (aa) have pale orange eyes. (Wild-type eyes are brown.) Wasps homozygous for blunt (bb) have short wings. (Wild-type wings are long.)

As the chromosomes of a parent cell are duplicated and distributed to the two daughter cells during cell division, the structure of the chromosomes changes.
Answer the three questions for each phase of the cell cycle by dragging the yes an
Can the process of the turriptosis dornii be applied to humans?
The turriptosis dornii is the only animal that can revert back to its youth once it has reached a certain age. I certainly don't know the process under which this is made possible, but I'd like to research a little bit about it before I go
What is the contribution of studying wing spot in the field?
Hi all, I just read the paper about the wing spot in pest insect. I wonder how the evolutionary of wing spot can give the advantage or contribution in the field? Any idea? Thank you so much!

Two trihybrid plants are mated. What is the expected proportion of progeny plant
Suppose a polygenic system for producing color in kernels of a grain is controlled by three additive genes, G, M, and T. There are two alleles of each gene, G1 and G1, M1 and M2 , and T1 and T2 . The phenotypic effects of the three genotypes of the G

Holoprosencephaly is a highly variable condition in mammals, including humans. Its effects range from an absence of brain areas, mid-face disorders, and cyclopia to slight dental abnormalities. One form, HPE3, is caused by Shh mutations. Familial cas

In the fruit fly(Drosophila) the allele for dumpy wings,d, is recessive to normal allele for long wings,D.The allele for white eyes, r, is recessive to the normal allele for red eyes,R. In a cross between a purebred, long wings fly that is heterozygo
Determine the effect of each mutation on the length of the protein.
Mutations in the IL2RG gene cause approximately 30 percent of severe combined immunodeficiency disorder (SCID) cases. These mutations result in alterations to a protein component of cytokine receptors that are essential for proper development of the
Part B - How can someone with a Y chromosome develop as a female?
One key determinant of sex determination is the SRY gene itself. This gene is located on the Y chromosome, and the protein it encodes is a DNA binding protein that regulates other genes. The normal action of the SRY protein is to induce transcr
Why do amphibians have so much more DNA than humans?
Why do amphibians have so much more DNA than humans?
A. Amphibians have more repetitive sequences than do humans B. Amphibians are more biologically complex than mammals are C. Amphibians have more genes than do humans
