An oligomeric protein has a molecular weight of 367000. A 460 mg sample was treated with an excess of 1-fluoro-2,4-dinitrobenzene (Sanger’s reagent) until the reaction was complete. Next the peptide bonds were hydrolyzed by heating with concentrated HCl. The product of the complete hydrolysis contained 2.2 mg of the compound […]

Q1. In Drosophila, vestigial (partial formed) wings (vg) are recessive to normal long wings (vg+), and the gene for this trait is autosomal. The gene for the white eye trait is on the X chromosome. Suppose a homozygous white-eyed, long-winged female fly is crossed with a homozygous red-eyed, vestigial-winged male. […]
