Suppose you performed a mutant screen in the plant arabidopsis using a cloned and sequenced bacterial transposable element as a mutagen. you generated 1000 diploid plant lines, each homozygous for a chromosome in which the transposable element integrated into a random location. you screen the lines for plants that make no flowers, as your goal is to identify genes required for flower development. you find that 10 of your 1000 lines make no flowers. what is the easiest and best way to identify the mutant gene in each of your 10 lines? multiple choice hundreds of arabidopsis lines are available with mutations that cause morphological mutant phenotypes. use these lines to perfornm positional cloning: in testcrosses, determine linkage and rf between the mutations in each of the ten lines and each of these morphological markers thousands of arabidopsis lines are available, each of which contains a different chromosomal deletion. use deletion mapping to determine the location of the mutant genes. prepare genomic dna from each of the 10 lines, digest it with a restriction enzyme that cuts once in the transposable element, treat the dna with ligase to circularize the restriction fragments, and use inverse pcr to determine the base pair sequences of the arabidopsis genomic dnas adjacent to the transposable element. transform each of the 10 lines with an arabidopsis genomic library made in bacterial plasmids, screen for rescue of the flowerless mutant phenotype to wild-type, and then determine the base pair sequence of the arabidposis genomic dna insert in the plasmid that rescues.

Consider the last statement in the prompt: "people take such environmental factors into account in their choices when deciding where to live." do all people have a choice as to where they live? what factor plays a key role in this decision and may therefore play a large role in determining quality of life?

The collared lizard is a species found in the desert southwest. male collared lizards show considerable color variation, ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. your goal is to determine the function, if any, of male color patterns in collared lizards, using the scientific method. your tentative explanation is that male color plays a role in attracting females for mating purposes. you predict that females will preferentially choose brightly colored males over dull-colored ones. to test this prediction, you observed the interactions of female collared lizards with their male counterparts. you selected males that were the same age and size, and that differed only in their coloration pattern. you placed equal numbers of the two types of male lizards, bright and dull, in aquariums, along with one female lizard per aquarium. out of 350 aquariums observed, the female chose to mate with the brightly colored male 277 times, and the dull-colored male 70 times. in 3 instances, the females did not mate with either type. create a bar graph of your data, plotting the type of male (dull or brightly colored) on the x-axis. on the y-axis, plot the frequency with which each type of male was chosen by females. using this graph, answer the following question(s). is it reasonable to conclude (i.e., is it supported by the data) that female collared lizards prefer more brightly colored male lizards over dull-colored males?
