Recall that the Hoopoe birds are getting cancer because of the HCP retrovirus – take a look at the viral transforming gene, v-hcp compared to the c-hcp/mtk gene (above). (v-hcp lacks a ligand binding domain) Is a mAb therapy strategy likely to be useful in treating the virally-caused cancer? Briefly explain.

A manufacturer issues a recall for a particular model of baby stroller because a small number of them have collapsed, injuring the baby. A store has 45 of these strollers returned as a result of the recall. X is the number of defective strollers out of those returned. Is X binomial? Can you please explain why it isn't?

In North America many birds die because they collide with windows of high-rise buildings. One possible solution to resolve the problem is to construct windows angled down slightly toward the ground, so that they reflect the ground rather than an image of the sky to flying bird. An experiment compared the number of birds that died as a result of vertical windows, windows angled 20° of vertical and windows angled 40° off vertical. The angles were randomly assigned with equal...

Judy and Elroy Jetson take a field trip to Mars for science class (recall that the acceleration due to gravity on Mars is smaller than on Earth, gMars = 3.7 m/s2 ). They repeat a version of Millikan’s oil-drop experiment. (A) Compared to the same experiment on Earth (same drop mass and charge) would the required electric field to hold the oil drop in place be smaller, larger, or the same (why)? (B) Elroy forgets to write down the charge...

1.Take simultaneously 4 cards out of a standard deck of 52. Recall that in such a deck there are exactly 4 Aces and exactly 4 Kings. Let A = At least 2 of the cards taken are Aces and B = At least 2 of the cards taken are Kings. Referring to the events A and B from the previous question we have: A A and B are independent B The contrary of A implies B C P(A and B)<.1...

Peptides hold great potential for the cancer therapy because of their ease of rational design. During your first undergraduate research project, you conducted a screen to find peptides that inhibit proliferation of cancer cells. From a large library of 9-residue-long peptides, you got a hit! Unfortunately, someone mislabeled the vial containing the active peptide, so now you can’t be sure of its entire sequence. The 3rd amino acid could be any one of the 20 amino acids!! M I ...
