2. Compare and contrast the origins of Turner syndrome, Williams syndrome, cri du chat syndrome, and Down syndrome. (Why are they called syndromes?)

3. Describe one human cancer (you should write about; causes, organ affected, development of the cancer, genetics of it, preventive and management measures).

4. CRISPR-Cas9 was first developed as a molecular tool in 2012; during the next few years, its use in molecular biology exploded, as scientists around the world began applying it to many different research problems, and hundreds of research papers describing its application were published. Explain why CRISPR-Cas is such a powerful tool in molecular genetics.

5. Describe in detail the CRISPR-Cas9 system of defense in bacterial against phages.

6. Describe Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) techniques in details. Discuss the advantages and disadvantages of PCR techniques.

7. Suppose that you have just graduated from college and have started working at a biotechnology firm. Your first job assignment is to clone the pig gene for the hormone prolactin. Assume that the pig gene for prolactin has not yet been isolated, sequenced, or mapped; however, the mouse gene for prolactin has been cloned, and the amino acid sequence of mouse prolactin is known. Briefly explain two different strategies that you might use to find and clone the pig gene for prolactin.

8. Describe how the genome of an organism of your choice has been successfully engineered to improve a trait of economic importance in the organism.

a) the carboxylate carbon

b) the carbonyl carbon

c) the methyl carbon

*** the Answer is c) but I don't understand why, can u plz explain why?

2. How many "high energy" bonds are required to convert oxaloacetate to glucose?

***answer is 4 but I don't understand why, can u plz exapain

3. Which of the following statements correctly describes what happens whe acetyl CoA is abundant

a) Pyruvate carboxylase is activated

b) phosphoenolpyruvate carboxykinase is activated

c) phosphofructokinase is activated

d) If ATP levels are high, oxaloacetate is diverted to gluconeogenesis

e) If ATP levels are low, oxaloacetate is diverted to gluconeogenesis

*** Answer is a) and d), can u plz explain why thank you!

Last question, can liver cells do glycolysis, or do they only do gluconeogenesis?

What are the differences between Holliday model recombination and double-stranded break repair recombination? What experiments can be conducted to determine which is taking place?

A patient arrives in the ER worried about a strange “bulls-eye” rash on their leg. What tick-borne disease did the come into contact with? What other immediate or long-term symptoms might they eventually display? What kind of treatment would you recommend?

You encounter an extraterrestrial organism that makes proteins consisting of a combination of 100 types of amino acids. You also discover that it only uses a combination of 2 possible nucleotides (P and W) in its DNA and RNA. If other aspects of this creature’s biology are more like those of terrestrial organisms, what would be the minimal length of codons needed to code for all 100 types of amino acids?

Question 7 options:

1a. What is the "tragedy of the commons?" Discuss how this relates to examples of over-exploited fisheries?

1b. Describe a marine habitat and describe 2 biotic factors and 2 abiotic factors that affect organisms in that habitat. Describe 2 ecosystem services provided by it as well.

Human Babesiosis is an apicomplexan parasite similar to the parasites that cause malaria. Able to infect either humans or livestock, what is unique to the transmission cycles for human or veterinary transmission? How do these parasites produce disease-causing symptoms?

A mutation occurs in a bacterium. Because of this mutation, DNA synthesis occurs at a very low rate. Upon analysis, it is found to have normal levels of activity of DNA polymerase I and III, DNA gyrase, and ligase. It also makes normal amounts of the wildtype dnaA, dnaB, dnaC, and SSB proteins. The sequence of the OriC (the origin of replication) of its chromosome is found to be normal (wildtype). What defect might account for the abnormally low rate of replication in this mutant? EXPLAIN.

5 pts: Submit a group response

5 pts: Name one correct possible defect

5 pts: Explain how the defect impacts replication
