HIV/AIDS can be categorized as a new or emerging infectious disease. By putting it into this category, we are effectively saying that

#Unit 4. Cell Communication and Cell Signaling

  1. this infection hasn't been observed in the human population prior to recent (approximately 50 years or sooner) outbreaks

  2. this disease has been in susceptible populations for centuries, but has only recently achieved infection levels that became detectable.

  3. the infectious agent is still evolving and changing, unlike with older, more established diseases such as plague or polio.

  4. the disease has always been in susceptible populations and causing disease, but we lacked the technology to detect it.

#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?

I do a chi square analysis of the offspring from my cross of a black mouse and albino mouse. If the black mouse was heterozygous I should have expected a 1:1 ratio, and I got 6 albino and 2 black mice. What is my chi square value?

I know that black coat color in mice is dominant to albino. Black mice get a higher price at the pet store so I am disappointed when I cross a black mouse with an albino mouse and get 6 albino and 2 black mice in the litter. I expected all black. What mistake did I make?
