The upper forelimbs of humans and bats have fairly similar skeletal structures, whereas the corresponding bones in whales have very different shapes and proportions. However, genetic data suggest that all three kinds of organisms diverged from a common ancestor at about the same time. Which of the following is the most likely explanation for these data?

Match the following mechanism of polyspermy (Column I) with events (Column II).
Column I |
Column II |
A. Fast block to polyspermy |
i. chemicals from the fusing sperm cytoplasm alter the sodium ion (Na+) channels on the membrane |
B. Slow block to polyspermy |
ii. enzyme cortical granule serine protease, cleaves the protein posts that connect the vitelline envelope |
iii the concentration of free Ca2+ in the egg cytoplasm increases |
|
iv. an electric change in the egg cell membrane |
|
v. the concentration of free Na+ in the egg cytoplasm increases |

geneticist is working with a new bacteriophage called phage Y3 that infects E. coli. He has isolated eight mutant phages that fail to produce plaques when grown on E. coli strain K. To determine whether these mutations occur at the same functional gene, he simultaneously infects E. coli K cells with paired combinations of the mutants and looks to see whether plaques are formed. He obtains the following results. (A plussign means that plaques were formed on E. coli K; a minussign means that no plaques were formed on E. coli K.)
How many cistron belong to these mutation?
