A student encounters an animal embryo at the eight-cell stage. The four smaller cells that comprise one hemisphere of the embryo seem to be rotated 45 degrees and lie in the grooves between larger, underlying cells (spiral cleavage). This embryo may potentially develop into a(n)

You obtain 6 BACs (of known order, as shown below) and 7 STSs (of unknown order) that derive from a region of mouse chromosome 16 whose genomic sequence has not yet been finished.   

 

By PCR (using 20-bp primers at either end of each STS), you test each of the 6 BACs for the presence (+) or absence (-) of each of the 7 STSs. You obtain the following results:

 

How would you use the sequence information presented in to design two new STSs (with new PCR primer pairs) to replace STS5? (Call the new ones STS51 and STS52. STS51 should be present (+) in BAC B, and STS52 should be present (+) in BAC F.)

With the help of DNA fingerprinting which can be used to determine paternity. There are three babies (Baby A, Baby B and Baby C) in a maternity ward, and three sets of confused and worried parents. (Father and Mother #1 are a couple, as are Father and Mother #2, and Father and Mother #3.) 

You do each PCR reaction on chromosome 15 and load each one into a separate well of an agarose gel, and then run the gel.

A patient visits his dentist, who notices a sore on the patient’s lip. The sore was unusual in that there was no pain or drainage from the sore. The patient was subsequently admitted to the hospital with a violent shaking chill. His lab values were Hct 30%, platelets 400,000/μl, WBC 4200/μl, 68% lymphocytes, and 20% neutrophils. What is the diagnosis of this patient?
