	B.	lipids
	C.	microtubules
	D.	DNA polymorphisms

	B.	CD library
	C.	cDNA library
	D.	Gene expression
	E.	RNA library

Long stretches of uninterrupted codons in genomic DNA are known as:

	A.	open reading frames
	B.	amino acids
	C.	stop codons
	D.	translocations
	E.	point mutations

Expert Solution

1. Distributed uniformly in the oocyte/embryo - hunchback mRNA.

Highest concentration in anterior end of the embryo - hunchback proteinp

highest concentration in posterior end of embryo - nanos mRNA

Highest concentration in the ventral part of the embryo - spaetzle protein

2. Two-dimensional gel electrophoresis is used to characterize the physical characteristics and expression levels of:

protein

3. The end product of a multistep process that includes 1) digestion of genomic DNA by restriction enzymes, 2) ligation of this DNA into vectors, 3) transformation of bacteria with the recombinant DNA molecules, and 4) isolation of individual bacterial clones that carry this recombinant DNA.

ans. genomic library

4. Long stretches of uninterrupted codons in genomic DNA are known as:

open reading frame

ORF or Open Reading Frame is a length of a genome sequence that is a series of amino acid specifying triplet codons where the targeted genes are identified for the prediction analysis. The long stretches of sequences starts from the start codon and are uninterrupted by a stop codon, and usually consist of approximately 100 codons.Any particular stretch of DNA will have six reading frames that could potentially code for a functional protein.

In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a wingless female fly is mated to a male that is white-bodied and legless. Assume that all alleles causing these phenotypes are recessive. Phenotypically wild-type F1 female progeny were mated to fully homozygous (mutant) males, and the following progeny were observed: Phenotypes Number Observed wingless 324 wild-type 34 white, wingless 135 white 8 white, legless 319 hairless, white, legless 32 hairless 140 hairless, legless 9 (a) With respect to the three genes mentioned in the problem, what are the genotypes...

Use the preamble below to answer Questions 27 and 28 In the fruit fly Drosophila melanogaster, red eye colour (R) is dominant to white eye colour (r). A student wishes to perform a test cross to determine whether a female red eyed fruit fly is homozygous or heterozygous for the eye colour. The student mates the female fruit fly with a red eye coloured male and studies the offspring, which are 100% red eye. The student concludes that the genotype...

In the fruit fly, Drosophila melanogaster, a spineless (sp, no wing bristles) female fly is mated to a male that is claret (cl, dark eyes) and hairless (h, no thoracic bristles). Phenotypically wild type F1 female progeny were mated to fully homozygous (mutant) males and the following progeny (1000 total) were observed. PHENOTYPES NUMBER OBSERVED spineless 316 wild 8 claret, spineless 136 claret 37 claret, hairless 304 hairless, claret, spineless 12 hairless 144 hairless, spineless 43 What is the correct gene map for these genes?...

The average fruit fly will lay 400 eggs into rotting fruit. A biologist wants to see if the average will change for flies that have a certain gene modified. The data below shows the number of eggs that were laid into rotting fruit by several fruit flies that had this gene modified. Assume that the distribution of the population is normal. 410, 415, 411, 404, 369, 395, 408, 374, 398, 386, 379 What can be concluded at the the α...

The standard free energy change of phosphate hydrolysis is shown below for several molecules in the glycolytic pathway. Molecule ?G? (kJ/mol) Phosphoenolpyruvate ?61.9 1,3-Bisphosphoglycerate ?49.4 ATP ? ADP + Pi ?30.5 Fructose-6-phosphate ?15.9 Glucose-6-phosphate ?13.8 Which statement explains why glucose phosphorylation could not occur without ATP investment? A. Without ATP investment in stage I of glycolysis, the concentration of ATP would become too high and would inhibit phosphofructokinase, leading to inhibition of the entire glycolytic pathway. B. Without ATP investment,...

Fenthion is a pesticide used against the olive fruit fly in olive groves. It is toxic to humans, so it is important that there be no residue left on the fruit or inolive oil that will be consumed. One theory was that, if there is residue of the pestice left in the olive oil, it would disspate over time. Chemists set out to test that theory by taking a random sample of small amounts of olive oil with fenthion residue...
