1.A race of inbred plant has a mean petal length of 12 mm, a second race from another location has the same meant petal length. when the two races are crossed, the F1 also has the mean petal length of 12mm. however the F2 generation derived from crossing the F1 to one another shows a very wide spread in plant length. About 3 out of 770 have a length as small as 8 mm. and about 3 out of 770 have a length of 16 mm. How many allelic pairs seem to be involved in the different petal length? How much does each effective allele contribute to the length of petal?

Neelaredoxin is a 15-kda protein that is a gene product common in anaerobic prokaryotes. it has superoxide-scavenging activity, and it is constitutively expressed. in addition, its expression is not further induced during its exposure to o2 or h2o2 (silva, g., et al. 2001. j. bacteriol. 183: 4413–4420). which of the following statements best describes neelaredoxin synthesis? a-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; levels are constant even when exposed to o2 or h2o2.b-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 increases expression.c-neelaredoxin is produced at all times; exposure to o2 or h2o2 decreases or prevents expression.d-neelaredoxin is only produced when there is exposure to o2 or h2o2.

Cold case files recently began re-investigating an old murder case. the murder took place in the park; a young man, james, was hit over the head with a brick and killed. police suspected the jealous former boyfriend of james' wife, karen. whoever killed james may have washed their hands in a near-by bird bath as detectives found blood in the bird bath. since the murder took place before dna fingerprinting was available, the suspected killer, ronnie, went free. detectives are now reviewing the blood evidence using dna fingerprinting. based on the dna fingerprints of all possible suspects, who is james' killer?

Both male and female gametes are created during the process of meiosis. the formation of male gametes is called spermatogenesis. after telophase il of spermatogenesis, there would be are all genetically male gametes created that
