You are on a jury in which a potential murderer was identified by a fingerprint, how would you feel about this identification compared to an identification made through DNA? What are the similarities and the differences?

​Why is the RNA genome of poliovirus by itself "infectious" when transfected into a host cell? EXPLAIN thoroughly!

1. "The Black Death serves as a major turning point in the history of European civilization." Discuss this statement in the context of late-medieval economics, social relations, popular religion, and art. (in own words)

​Is the replication strategy of Sindbis virus similar/different from poliovirus? Explain thoroughly!

In the Lesser Pahoa Kipuka Chicken population, the frequency of individuals born without bones is 1/2500 individuals. Assuming that only half of the individuals homozygous recessive for the "boneless" allele survive to reproductive maturity, determine both the selection coefficient (s) as well as the mutation rate (µ) required to explain the persistence of the allele in the population due to mutation-selection balance.

s=_____

µ =____x 10^-4

Please show work.

) GWAS have shown that:

a) common SNPs usually have a small effect on common, complex disease risk

b) rare SNPs can have a big effect on common, complex disease risk

c) risk of common, complex diseases can be accurately predicted using common SNPs

d) genetic risk factors are not important in common, complex diseases

e) the best strategy to identify genetic risk variants in common, complex disease is whole exome sequence

please explore the rate of formation of ATP and number of mitochondria varies in different cell types.

) In complex disorders, genetic susceptibility can be supported by:

a) twin studies and adoption studies

b) genome wide association studies

c) linkage analysis

d) whole exome or whole genome sequence studies

e) all of the above

The comammox bacteria play a role in nitrification and therefore in the nitrogen cycle. Other microbes, with distinct ecological niches, also participate in the nitrogen cycle. The metabolic reactions involving nitrogen that bacteria perform include: nitrogen fixation (N₂ → NH₃), nitrification (NH₃ → NO₃^- or NO₂^-), and denitrification (NO₃^- or NO₂^- → NO, N₂O, and N₂), all of which make up the nitrogen cycle. Each of these reactions is carried out by a unique set of microorganisms with a distinct ecological niche.

In a populaiton of Southwestern Jackalopes, you obseve the following numbers of genotypes for the A locus:

AA = 10

Aa = 15

aa = 5

Given these amounts, what are the genotype and allele frequencies in this population? (please round to 2 significant figures)

Did out population of Southwestern Jackalopes evolve? (yes or no)

Most antimicrobials that arrest protein function are non-selective as to the microbes they affect. Why are they non-selective to the ones they affect? can you give a detailed explanation?

It is always good to have an assay where something happens. For example red pH paper that just remains red in acid is unsatisfactory. How can you make Ph paper which is green and then turns red when put in acid solution? how can you make red pH paper?

how would you make anthocyanin pH paper with a greater amount of pigment than just plain soaking and drying? how could you make it dark?

describe microcephaly clinically and what are other infections from it? 100 or more words please.
