#Question id: 339

The edges of each base pair are exposed in the major and minor grooves, creating a pattern of hydrogen-bond donors and acceptors and of hydrophobic groups (allowing for Vander Waals interactions) that identifies the base pair. The edge of an C : G base pair displays the following chemical groups in the following order in the major groove:

#Unit 1. Molecules and their Interaction Relevant to Biology

  1. A hydrogen-bond acceptor (at N7 of guanine), a hydrogen-bond acceptor (the carbonyl on C6 of guanine), a hydrogen-bond donor (the exocyclic amino group on C3 of cytosine), and a small nonpolar hydrogen (the hydrogen at C5 of cytosine)

  2. A hydrogen-bond acceptor (at N7 of guanine), a hydrogen-bond acceptor (the carbonyl on C6 of guanine), a hydrogen-bond donor (the exocyclic amino group on C4 of cytosine), and a small nonpolar hydrogen (the hydrogen at C5 of cytosine)

  3. A small nonpolar hydrogen (the hydrogen at C5 of cytosine), a hydrogen-bond donor (the exocyclic amino group on C4 of cytosine), a hydrogen-bond acceptor (the carbonyl on C6 of guanine) and a hydrogen-bond acceptor (at N7 of guanine)

  4. A small nonpolar hydrogen (the hydrogen at C5 of cytosine), a hydrogen-bond acceptor (the exocyclic amino group on C4 of cytosine), a hydrogen-bond acceptor (the carbonyl on C6 of guanine) and a hydrogen-bond donor (at N7 of guanine)

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

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?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

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?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

You set up a monohybrid cross between true breeding round winged and true breeding oval winged insects. Your F1 offspring have round wings, and you collect the following numbers of F2: Round wings: 302; Oval wings: 86. Which of the following statements is NOT correct?

#Unit 8. Inheritance Biology

You capture several interesting insects from a population in your yard. By inbreeding, you develop true breeding strains that differ only in the shape of their wings - one strain has round wings while the other strain has oval wings. How might you demonstrate that Mendel's principles apply to your insects?
