1 A) How does epistasis differ from Mendel’s principle of dominance?
1 B) A woman who owned a purebred albino poodle (an autosomal recessive phenotype) wanted white puppies; so she took the dog to a breeder, who said he would mate the female with an albino stud male, also from a pure stock. When six puppies were born, all of them were black; so the woman sued the breeder, claiming that he replaced the stud male with a black dog, giving her six unwanted puppies. You are called in as an expert witness, and the defense asks you if it is possible to produce black offspring from two pure-breeding recessive albino parents. What testimony do you give?

a) has no effect on the amino acid sequence of the encoded protein.
b) alters the reading frame of the mRNA.
c) changes an amino acid in the encoded protein.
d) introduces a stop codon into the mRNA.
2. The synthesis of new DNA requires the prior formation of RNA oligonucleotides to serve as primers. This latter observation is evidence in support of the hypothesized existence of
a) that Crick’s postulate of the flow of information is incorrect.
b) the endosymbiotic origin of mitochondria and chloroplasts.
c) an ancient RNA world
d) the abiotic synthesis of organic peptides
3.A frameshift mutation could not result from

Gary, a middle aged salesman, complains of a burning
pain in the pit of his stomach, usually beginning about two hours
after eating and abating after drinking a glass of milk. When asked
to indicate the site, he points to the epigastric region. the GI
tract is examined by x-ray. A gastric ulcer is visualized and drug
therapy using an antibiotic-bismuth approach is recommended.
a) why is this treatment suggested
b) what are possible consequences of non-treatment?

Discuss why correlation does not necessarily means causality. After performing some research using JSU library and other online resources, identify some pertinent variables that may be highly correlated, and then discuss using actual data citations and references about their causality or lack of it. Under what circumstances correlation leads to causality? Your response should be comprehensive using up-to-date information and scholarly references.

The megaspore in most flowering plants grows into a megagametophyte that has seven cells and eight nuclei. Name the seven cells.
After pollen lands on a stigma, it is far away from the ovule with the megagametophyte which holds the egg (the mega-gamete). How are the two sperm cells transported from the stigma to the egg?
After pollination and fertilization, as the ovule develops into a seed, the ovary matures into a ____________. Many of these have three parts, the _____________ is the skin or peel, the ___________is the flesh, and the innermost layer, the _____________, may be tough like the pit of a cherry.
