Neurofibromatosis is a condition in humans which is generally inherited in a dominant fashion. Assuming this disorder is 90% penetrant, what is the chance that a single child born to a father with neurofibromatosis and a mother known not to carry the mutation will have the disorder?

During an experiments mutating the conserved cysteine in the LOV1 domain of phot1 does not affect phototropic responsiveness (the seedlings bend toward blue light) whereas the equivalent mutation in LOV2 abolishes the response. What will be the conclusion has been drawn from this experiments?
a) LOV1 domain is secondarily responsible (primarily responsible is LOV2 domain) for kinase activation and LOV1 is not is coupled with the protein region Jα-helix that’s why it does not affect phototropic responsiveness
b) These studies have demonstrated that LOV2 domain is primarily responsible for kinase activation in response to blue light
c) This is due in part to the position of LOV2 within the phototropin molecule, where it is coupled to a protein region known as the Jα-helix
d) The function of LOV2 domain is thought to play a role in receptor dimerization by accomplishing the kinase activation in response to blue light
Which of the correct conclusion drawn from the above experiment?

When a mixture of glucose 6-phosphate and fructose 6-phosphate is incubated with the enzyme phosphohexose isomerase (which catalyzes the interconversion of these two compounds) until equilibrium is reached, the final mixture contains twice as much glucose 6-phosphate as fructose 6-phosphate. Which one of the following statements is best applied to this reaction outlined below? (R = 8.315 J/mol·K; T = 298 K) Glucose 6-phosphate -> fructose 6-phosphate
