An Hfr strain (arg+, bio+, leu+) is mated to an F- strain (arg-, bio-, leu-). Assume that this Hfr strain transfers arg+ last. You grow the exconjugants on arg- media, supplemented with leu+ and bio+. You recover 423 arg+ exconjugants. These are tested individually for bio and leu and you […]

Consider a limpet that is grazing on algae on inter-tidal rocks along California’s coast. It is a calm, sunny day. When the tide is low during the late morning, the ocean waters recede and the limpet’s internal body temperature will increase. What are the two physical processes that cause this […]

An alternative model is that the mutations cause defect intermediate filaments with defective structure that causes problems in the […]
