The fungus Melampsora lini causes a disease known as flax rust. Different strains of M. lini cause varying degrees of the disease. Conversely, different strains of flax are resistant or sensitive to the various varieties of the fungus. The Bombay variety of flax is resistant to M. lini strain 22 but sensitive to M. lini strain 24. A strain of flax called 770B is just the opposite; it is resistant to strain 24 but sensitive to strain 22. When 770B was crossed to Bombay, all F1 individuals were resistant to both strain 22 and strain 24. When F1 individuals were self-fertilized, the following data were obtained: 43 resistant to strain 22 but sensitive to strain 24 9 sensitive to strain 22 and strain 24 32 sensitive to strain 22 but resistant to strain 24 110 resistant to strain 22 and strain 24 Explain the inheritance pattern for flax resistance and sensitivity to M. lini strains.

the photos below show flowers from two Arabidopsisplants. The plant on the left is wild-type (unmutated); theother carries a mutation that causes its flowers to havesepals and petals instead of stamens and carpels. Themutation inactivated one of the plant's ABC floral identity genes. Refer to Figure 10.8 and decide which gene(A, B, or C) has been inactivated

This article highlights a young doctor at Elmhurst Hospital during the beginning of Covid-19 pandemic. Dr. Zikry is quoted as saying: “It’s become very clear to me what a socioeconomic disease this is...”. In addition, the textbook discusses the personal variables and socioeconomic status (SES) that are used to find patterns in disease (pp.112-118). What do you think Dr. Zikry meant by referring to the SES of his patients? Why was it important to find a pattern of personal variables and SES among the of victims of Covid-19 at the beginning of the pandemic?
. A diploid strain of yeast was made by mating a haploidstrain with a genotype w−, x−, y−, and z− with a haploidstrain of opposite mating type that is wild type for thesefour genes. The diploid strain was phenotypically wildtype. Four different X-ray-induced diploid mutantswith the following phenotypes were produced fromthis diploid yeast strain. Assume a single new mutation is present in each strain.Strain 1 w− x+ y− z+Strain 2 w+ x− y− z−Strain 3 w− x+ y− z−Strain 4 w− x+ y+ z+When these mutant diploid strains of yeast go throughmeiosis, each ascus is found to contain only two viablehaploid spores.a. What kind of mutations were induced by X-rays tomake the listed diploid strains?b. Why did two spores in each ascus die?c. Are any of the genes w, x, y, or z located on thesame chromosome?d. Give the order of the genes that are found on thesame chromosome
Scientists often see that organisms with similar genetics are susceptible to being infected by similar viruses. This diagram shows genetic relationships between five species of rabbits.

The map below was constructed using information from an interrupted mating experiment. Str# refers to the strain numnber from which the data were obtained. The strains that are referenced by the Str#'s on the map are considered to be F+ strains. The units for the map distance values on this map are minutes Assume that four genes were transferred by each strain in the interrupted mating experiment. Based on this map, list in order of transfer (first to last) the genes transferred by Str4.

The SIR model for the spread of an infectious disease is used to predict the spread of a disease in a community. The variables are: S: Number of susceptible people, who are currently healthy but could get the disease I: Number f=of infected people Put S horizontally and I vertically. They are related by the following equations. S'=-0.0005SI I'=0.0005SI-0.05I What are the S-nullclines and the I-nullclines?
