A hollow fiber membrane separator with a nominal molecular weight cutoff of 100,000 is fed a solution of proteins at the rate of 250 mL min-1 . The composition of the protein solution is protein A (4 g/L, MW=20,000), protein B (7 g/L, MW=150,000), and protein C (6 g/L, MW=300,000). The filtrate flow rate is found to be 116.4 mL min-1 and the flow rate of the retentate is 133.5 mL min-1 . The concentration of protein A in the retentate is found to be 5.84 g/L. What is the concentration of protein A in the filtrate? Also, what are the concentrations of proteins B and C in the filtrate and in the retentate?

7.You want to set up a PCR reaction. The protocol suggests a 50 µL reaction volume containing 1X buffer, 200 µM dNTPs, 0.5 µM each primer (forward and reverse), 250 ng template DNA, and 1 U enzyme.
You have the following reagents: 5 X buffer, 10 mM dNTPs, 10 µM each primer (forward and reverse), 125 ng/µL template DNA, and 2 U/µL enzyme.
How many µL of water, reaction buffer, dNTPs, each primer, template DNA and enzyme would you combine to set up that reaction? (note that the order I’ve listed these components is the order you’d add them to the reaction)

How would an organism be able to survive these conditions on another planet? Please explain.
Thermodynamics - the temperature is around 233.15 K (-40 F)
Acquiring energy - receives about 70% of the sunlight that Earth receives from the Sun
Gravity - increase of gravity of 30% compared to Earth. However,more gravity means greenhouse effects increase the overall heat of the planet.
Circular orbit - seasonal changes in climate would be minimal.

Curly wing (CY) shape and stubble bristles (SB) are both recessive lethal alleles (i.e. dominant in terms of wing shape/bristles phenotype, but recessive for lethality). What would be the result (F1 phenotypic ratios) of a cross between two curly winged, stubble bristle flies? To develop a hypothesis to predict the phenotypic ratio for the F1 generation consider the following:
What are the genotypes of the parents? _________________
What phenotypic ratio would you predict for the offspring of a cross between two flies with curly wing shape? __________________
and two flies with stubble bristle?__________________
Use a branch diagram to predict the outcome of dihybrid cross between two curly winged, stubble bristle flies.
