In a generalized transduction experiment, phages are collected from an E. coli donor strain of genotype cys+ leu+thr+ and used to transduce a recipient of genotype cys_ leu_ thr_. Initially, the treated recipient population is plated on a minimal medium supplemented with leucine and threonine. Many colonies are obtained. These colonies are then replica-plated onto three different media: What is order of gene?

All animals with eyes or eyespots that have been studied so far share a gene in common. When mutated, the gene Pax-6 causes lack of eyes in fruit flies, tiny eyes in mice, and missing irises (and other eye parts) in humans. The sequence of Pax-6 in humans and mice is identical. There are so few sequence differences with fruit fly Pax-6 that the human/mouse version can cause eye formation in eyeless fruit flies, even though vertebrates and invertebrates last shared a common ancestor more than 500 million years ago.
The appearance of Pax-6 in all animals with eyes can be explained in multiple ways. Based on the information above, which explanation is most likely?

The expression of some genes is significantly affected by their parental origin, , the differential expression of genetic material depending on whether it is inherited from the male or female parent, is called
