Dozens of potato varieties exist, differing from each other in potato-tuber size, skin color, flesh color, and shape. One might construct a classification of potatoes based on these morphological traits. Which of these criticisms of such a classification scheme is most likely to come from an adherent of the phylocode method of classification?

#Unit 9. Diversity of Life Forms
  1. Flesh color, rather than skin color, is a valid trait to use for classification because it is less susceptible to change with the age of the tuber.
  2. Flower color is a better classification criterion, because below-ground tubers can be influenced by minerals in the soil as much as by their genes.
  3. The only biologically valid classification of potato varieties is one that accurately reflects their genetic and evolutionary relatedness.
  4. The most accurate phylogenetic code is that of Linnaeus. Classify potatoes based on Linnaean principles; not according to their color.

Multiplicity of infection (moi) is a measure of how many phage particles infect a given bacterial cell within a population?

a) If the average number is one or fewer phage particles per cell, the infection is more likely to result in lysis

b) If the number of phage particles is two or more, it is more likely to produce lysis

c) If the average number is one or fewer phage particles per cell, the infection is more likely to result in lysogney

d) If the number of phage particles is two or more, it is more likely to produce lysogney

Bacteriophage λ, has two mode of life cycle;  lytic and lysogenic.  In the lytic growth

a) a single Cro dimer is bound to OR3; this site overlaps PRM and so Cro represses that promoter

b) Repressor bound at OR1 and OR2 blocks RNA polymerase binding at PR, repressing transcription from that promoter

c) PR and PL binds RNA polymerase and directs transcription of lytic genes

d) During lytic, PRM is on while PR (and PL) are off

Find the correct combinations of lytic growth.
