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.

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.
