For the purpose of thinking about the genetics of the cross you’ve made, call the two microsatellite markers A and B. You can then designate the alleles A1, A2, A3, and A4 for the A allele and B1 through B6 for the B marker. In this cross, you are mating […]

In yeast, one haploid strain is unable to synthesize uracil but able to synthesize leucine, while another haploid strain is able to synthesize uracil but not leucine. You think that the ability to synthesize uracil and leucine has a genetic basis. Your goal is to determine the genotypes of the […]

A group of 11 mice was given water, and another group of 10 mice was supplied with diluted black coffee (coffee:water 1:1) as drinking fluids for five weeks. The composition of the diets and living conditions were similar for both groups of mice. Blood glucose was monitored weekly for all […]

1. Explain your evidence for coming to this conclusion. Is this sufficient evidence to convict the the suspect of the crime? Why or why not? 2. It what way did this lab simulation differ from what is actually performed in a forensic analysis? 3. Why is restriction fragment length polymorphism […]
