Chapter 13, Problem 12Q
In order for gene rearrangement of antigen receptors to be successful, the DNA sequence needs to remain in-frame after the rearrangement occurs. Explain what “inframe” means and why it would be necessary in the generation of diversity in antigen receptors.

In a population of Jackalopes (pictured below), horn length will vary between
0.5 and 2 feet, with the mean length somewhere around 1.05 feet. You pick
Jackalopes that have horn lengths around 1.75 feet to breed as this appears to
be the optimal length for battling other Jackalopes for food. After a round of
breeding, you measure the offsprings' mean horn length is 1.67. What is the
heritability of horns length (h2)? Is Jackalope horn length a heritable trait? (4
pts)?

There are many differences between DNA replication happening during mitosis in a Douglas fir tree
growing in the Oregon Cascade Mountains and DNA replication happening during a PCR reaction in a
forestry research lab at Oregon State University where the laboratory is amplifying a Simple Sequence
Repeat. Complete the following table that compares the two DNA replication events in terms of the
primers, the nucleotides, the polymerase, and the target sequence. Additionally, give a general value
for the number of copies of the template DNA after one S phase in one cell and after the lab has
completed the PCR reaction.

- In order to establish the expiration date of perishable food, growth curve data must be collected. Once the microbial load is so high that it poses a hazard to human health, the food item is no longer considered safe (expired). Generally a load of x50,000 bacteria/gram is considered unsafe. Your task is to determine the microbial growth curves for MicroYo, a new brand of yogurt. The growth is determined by sampling the yogurt and growing the bacterial isolates in broth culture which is then serially diluted by a total of x10,000 and inoculated onto standard petri plates of nutrient agar. The following colony counts are measured: Time (days) MicroYo colony count# 1 1 4 1 12 2 16 20 4 7 What day should you recommend expiring the yogurt (the last possible date before the microbial load is unsafe). 12 4 20 16arrow_forward9.
