A researcher would like to map the location of galE and trpA genes in a new species of bacterium that appears to be closely related to E. coli. He decides to use cotransduction, and generates appropriate donor and recipient strains. He is disappointed when cotransduction is not seen in his experiement. What is the most reasonable explanation for this situation?

An aviator is flying at 30,000 ft where the barometric pressure is 226 mm Hg. He is breathing 100% oxygen, his alveolar PCO2 is 40 mm Hg, and his alveolar water vapor pressure is 47 mm Hg. What is the alveolar PO2 of the aviator (in mm Hg)? (Assume that the respiratory quotient is equal to 1.)

Fruit fly eyes are of the compound type, structurally very different from the camera-type eyes of mammals. Even the camera-type eyes of mollusks, such as octopi, are structurally quite different from those of mammals. Yet, fruit flies, octopi, and mammals possess very similar versions of Pax-6. The fact that the same gene helps produce very different types of eyes is most likely due to
