If the intact chromosomes of E. coli are labeled with heavy nitrogen (15N), then E. coli is fed light nitrogen (14N), what would be the expected distribution of DNA by the fourth (F4) generation? 12.5% intermediate-weight DNA, and 87.5% light-weight DNA 25% intermediate-weight DNA, and 75% heavy-weight DNA 50% light-weight DNA, and 50% intermediate-weight DNA 75% intermediate-weight DNA, and 25% heavy-weight DNA 87.5% intermediate-weight DNA, and 12.5% heavy-weight DNA The above experiment, on DNA replication in the intact chromosomes of E. coli (with no virus infection) was first carried out by which of the following investigators?

DNA polymerase occasionally incorporates the wrong nucleotide during DNA replication. If left unrepaired, the base-pair mismatch that results will lead to mutation in the next replication. As part of a template strand, the incorporated wrong base will direct the incorporation of a base complementary to itself, so the bases on both strands of the DNA at that position will now be different from what they were before the mismatch event. The MER-minus strain of yeast does not have a functional mismatch excision repair system, but it has normal base excision repair and nucleotide excision repair systems. Which of the following statements is correct about differences in the mutation spectrum between MER-minus and wildtype yeast? More than one answer is correct. Options: More point mutations will arise in MER-minus yeast. Fewer point mutations will arise in MER-minus yeast as compared with wildtype. Of the total point mutations that…

The accuracy of DNA replication in the human germ-cell line is such that on average only about 0.6 out of the 6 billion nucleotides is altered at each cell division. Because most of our DNA is not subject to any precise constraint on its sequence, most of these changes are selectively neutral. Any two modern humans picked at random will show about 1 difference of nucleotide sequence in every 1000 nucleotides. suppose we are all descended from a single pair of ancestors—Adam and Eve—who were genetically identical and homozygous (each chromosome was identical to its homolog). Assuming that all germ-line mutations that arise are preserved in descendants, how many cell generations must have elapsed since the days of Adam and Eve for 1 difference per 1000 nucleotides to have accumulated in modern humans? Assuming that each human generation corresponds on average to 200 cell-division cycles in the germ-cell lineage and allowing 30 years per human generation, how many years ago would this…
