One way to discover promoters is through an experiment called RNA polymerase protection assay, in which RNA polymerase binds to a gene, is cross-linked to the DNA, and then the DNA is subjected to fragmentation, which breaks apart any DNA that is not protected by cross-linked protein. Explain why this would help to identify promoters in genes.

The ability of a mouse to recognize the odor of a potential predator is essential to the mouse’s survival. Typically, the source of these odors are major urinary proteins (Mups). 30% of lab mice sells exposed to chemically produced cat Mups responded positively (i.e. recognized the danger of the lurking predator). Consider a sample of 100 lab mice cells, each exposed to chemically produced cat MUPS. Let X represents the number of cells that respond positively. a) Explain why the...
