Textbook Question
Chapter 5, Problem 19P
In Drosophila, the autosomal recessive dp allele of the dumpy gene produces short, curved wings, while the autosomal recessive allele bw of the brown gene causes brown eyes. In a testcross using females heterozygous for both of these genes, the following results were obtained: wild-type wings, wild-type eyes 178 wild-type wings, brown eyes 185 dumpy wings, wild-type eyes 172 dumpy wings, brown eyes 181
In a testcross using males heterozygous for both of these genes, a different set of results was obtained: wild-type wings, wild-type eyes 247 dumpy wings, brown eyes 242
| a. | What can you conclude from the first testcross? |
| b. | What can you conclude from the second testcross? |
| c. | How can you reconcile the data shown in parts (a) and (b)? Can you exploit the difference between these two sets of data to devise a general test for synteny in Drosophila? |
| d. | The genetic distance between dumpy and brown is 91.5 m.u. How could this value be measured? |

List substitutions in your diet you could make to improve it based on what you know now about a balanced diet. For instance, if you like to drink soda, you might substitute skim milk or water for some of the soft drinks you consumed. List the item you wish to replace with the new item and what you hope to accomplish with that substitution. Be sure to choose foods you know that you'd enjoy and you consider more "healthful." If you feel your diet is already balanced, describe how you accomplish your balanced intake and when you began eating this way.
Which single food item contained you ate for the 3 days with the most sodium?
Select a diet and choose one site that provides credible information. Explain why the source itself and/or the information on the site is credible. This should be a report. This site should be different from U.S News and World Report.
For full credit, you must include the following information and elaborate in detail:
The diet name
The main components of the diet
The credible website name and link
What makes the credible website credible?

- Select a diet and give a summary of the main components. Do a web search of the diet and choose one link that provides misinformation. Explain why the site itself and/or the information on the site is not credible. This should be a report. This site should be different from U.S News and World Report.

In vivo testing provides valuable insight into a drug’s kinetics. Assessing drug kinetics following multiple different routes of administration provides greater insight than just a single route of administration alone. The following data was collected in 250 g rats following bolus iv, oral (po), and intraperitoneal (ip) administration.Using this data and set of graphs, determine: (a) k, C0, V, and AUC* for the bolus iv data (b) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the po data (c) k, ka, B1, and AUC* for the ip data (d) relative bioavailability for po vs ip, Fpo/Fip (e) absolute po bioavailability, (f)Fpo absolute ip bioavailability, Fip MAKE SURE ANSWERS HAVE UNITS if appropriate. SHOW ALL WORK, including equation used, variables used and each step to your solution.arrow_forward2. Drug quantification from plasma is commonly performed by using techniques such as HPLC or LC/MS. However, these methods do have limitations, and investigators may choose to use a radiolabeled analog of a drug instead. Radioligands are molecules that contain radioactive isotopes, commonly 3H or 14C. This technique allows investigators to quantify drug concentration from radiation measurements. The following measurements were made in 250 g rats following oral administration of 18.2 µCi of a 14C-labeled drug of interest: Time (min) Plasma Radiation Levels (µCi/L) 0 0.0 2 9.7 4 19.2 7 25.3 9 37.8 12 39.6 14 45.8 17 48.8 20 52.0 25 56.4 30 59.2 35 60.1 40 61.1 45 62.1 50 62.8 60 63.1 70 62.1 80 60.1 90 57.3 100 55.5 110 53.7 120 52.2 150 48.0 180 45.0 240 39.0 Note that a µCi is a measure of the amount of radioactivity and hence is a measure of the amount of drug present. Given that the oral bioavailability of this drug is known to be essentially 100%, estimate the following from this…arrow_forward
