A dog breeder has a female black Labrador Retriever that was one of a litter of puppies from a mating of a yellow lab with a brown lab. If he breeds this dog with a black stud that is also from a mating between a yellow lab and a brown lab, what phenotypes and ratio which you expect among the puppies. (The answer is 9 black, 3 brown and 4 yellow. I just don't know how to get these answers). Thanks!

The decline in sheep and lamb numbers in the U.S. can be attributed to multiple reasons and causes. Did you find any of these reasons or causes surprising? Why or why not? Conversely, goat numbers in the U.S. are increasing. Do some research and discuss why goats are gaining popularity.

Assume that you are employed as a developmental biologist at NASA and the first returning mars explorer was found to have a small organism from mars onboard. The organism had the usual head-tail axis as well as dorsal-ventral polarity and what appeared to have right-left asymmetry. However upon analysis it was found to be composed of silicon based compounds and had no DNA, RNA or proteins at all. Discuss reasons why this organism would have similar developmental controls to those of earth’s carbon-based life and also discuss the opposing view as to why it would not.

For natural selection to happen, there must be variation present in a population. This is true because in a population without variation
Select one:
a. Change between generations can't happen
b. If there is only one trait, it must be advantageous, and thus change is not necessary.
c. There is no inter-individual competition.
d. Offspring never inherit mutations.

The human gene Trl is maternally imprinted. Hannah has a heterozygous genotype include one wildtype allele and one copy of the mutant “1” allele, Trl+Trl1. Hannah expresses the mutant allele. Describe the methylation pattern of Trl alleles in Hannah’s somatic cells and in her gametes.

BLAST results will indicate the percentage of genome comparison among known sequences as well as predicted sequences. A predicted sequence can best be characterized as a(n)
a. |
computational analysis showing similarity to a known protein |
|
b. |
expected similarity to a species due to evolutionary relationship |
|
c. |
a sequence found in all species of a particular genus |
|
d. |
the educated computerized “guess” based on the original programmer’s data input |
All cancers arise as a result of changes in the DNA sequence of the genomes of cancer cells. Gene expression assays may be helpful in showing the progression of the cancer phenotype by identifying the driver mutations which are:
a. |
mutations that develop as the cancer becomes invasive |
|
b. |
activating and loss of function mutations |
|
c. |
mutations that initiated the cancer |
|
d. |
mutations that make the cancer chemotherapy resistant |
