In a negatively supercoiled circular plasmid (covalently closed), the transition of a small region of B-DNA to Z-DNA can be induced. If this region involves a 12 base pair alternating d(CG) sequence in the closed plasmid, determine changes to W, T, and L after the induced B-to-Z transition. (Remember: ~10 base pairs per right-handed turn for B-DNA and -12 base pairs per left-handed turn for Z-DNA, i.e. Z-DNA twists in the opposite direction).

In this module, you have learned about various economic markets including goods that a government does not allow to be sold in a market. Do you believe there should be limitations of these items?  For example, should there be a market for human kidneys? If people can sell their sperm or their eggs, why should kidneys be any different?

  • Define demand, supply, and equilibrium in markets for goods and services.
  • Identify factors that cause shifts in demand and supply for good and services.
  • Describe how changes in supply and demand change equilibrium price and quantity.

Which of the following is INCORRECT regarding interest rates?

Bonds with greater default risk typically trade at higher yield-to-maturities.

A positive term premium is caused in part by borrowers’ preference for long duration and lenders’ preference for short duration.

An inverted yield curve serves as a negative indicator for the future state of the economy.

Zero-coupon bonds are less sensitive to interest rate changes than coupon bonds with the same time to maturity.

The yield curve typically slopes upward due to a positive term premium.

Consider two bonds with $1,000 face values that carry coupon rates of 5%, make annual coupon payments, and exhibit similar risk characteristics. The first bond has two years to maturity whereas the second has three years to maturity. The yield to maturity of these investments is 5%. If the yield to maturity rises by half a percentage point, what are the respective percentage price changes of the two bonds? Find the exact answer and approximate answers using the duration rule and the duration-convexity rule. Discuss the quality of the approximation.

A 32-year-old female patient was diagnosed with sickle cell anemia had complicated recurrent hospital admissions with vaso-occlusive crises and chest syndrome. Lab findings showed normochromic, normocytic mild to moderate anemia. Genetic investigations showed lysine was substituted for glutamine acid at position 6 on some chains and valine instead of glutamine at position 6 on other chains.  What anemia does she have and what are the two genetic (base to base changes) point mutations that cause her disease?
