Antibodies specific for different epitopes on the same antigen:

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

  1. Will usually bind to each other through idiotypic interactions

  2. Cannot bear similar idiotypes

  3. Can bear similar idiotypes independently of their antigenic specificity

  4. Can only bear similar idiotypes if the antigenic epitopes cross-react

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

You calculate map distances between genes A, B, and C based on all pairwise dihybrid crosses. When you perform the trihybrid cross to verify your results, you discover that, despite analysis of a very large number of progeny, you have only about half as many double crossover progeny as you expect. Which explanation is the most reasonable?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. Estimate q, the frequency of allele a, in Generation 1. Show your calculations.

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

In humans, albinism (unpigmented skin, hair, and eyes) is due to an enzymatic deficiency, and it is an autosomal recessive trait. Suppose that in a small country of one million people (“Generation 1”), there are 500 aa albinos and 9000 Aa heterozygous carriers. In the next generation of 1 million individuals (Generation 2), what are the expected numbers of aa albinos and Aa carriers? (Assume random mating and all other HardyWeinberg conditions.)
