The slug population has 2 alleles: slime1 (very slimy) and slime 2 (barely slimy). They arecodominant. The total population consists of 200 veryslimy slugs along with 400 barely slimy; there are also 400 slugswith medium sliminess. 1. Calculate the actual population’s genotype frequencies. 2. Calculate q and p for the […]

The diagnosis of a chronic illness represents a major transition in an individual’s life. Life as it was is no more and will not be again. Imagine a patient with two chronic illness diagnoses. Describe the self-management care and lifestyle changes that accompany the diagnosis of chronic illnesses that the […]

Niremberg used the enzyme polynucleotide phosphorylase to assemble RNAs with random sequences in the absence of a template. Supposethey added the enzyme to a solution of 90%CTP and 10%UTP, and then used a cell-free system of protein synthesis to make peptidesaccording to the sequences in their synthetic RNAs. a.) Which […]

Over the long period of time that life has existed on Earth, there have been a number of important or significant innovations including (but not limited to) endosymbiosis to create mitochondria and chloroplasts; multicellularity; adaptation to land by plants and animals; development of exoskeletons in arthropods, shells in molluscs, and […]
