The vast majority of pathogenic (disease-causing) single base gene mutations result from G:C >>> T:A transition mutations, where the C is changed to a T. Discuss the following related to this anomoly: Why is this particular transition mutation so prevalent in the human genome? As discussed in class, which DNA repair pathways would logically attempt to prevent this mutation, and why would the repair fail at a higher rate than most other mutations?. Why is this particular transition mutation very rarely observed near the promotor regions of actively transcribed genes?  (hint: think DNA methylation)

Take photos of your result, clearly show the switches and the 7-segment display. Embed all FOUR images for the FOUR possibilities of the switches, showing the letters ‘E’, ‘P’, ‘I’ and ‘C’. Notes: To prove originality of your work, you are required to write down your Name, Panther ID, date and time on a piece of paper and place it next to the BASYS3 board. You can embed one image at a time. To embed an image, click on the vertical three dots icon to expand toolbar, then…

Choose amongst any of the the various types of Next Gen Sequencing (NGS) technologies discussed in class and answer the following: Give an example of a ‘Biology question’ that a researcher can answer using your chosen NGS approach. Make sure it’s a complete thought/ sentence that ends with a ‘?’. Design and describe an experiment/ a logical scenario using NGS that would answer the question stated above… i.e. explain how the physicians or molecular geneticists would employ the particular NGS approach, and how the NGS data (alignment, coverage, etc.) would answer the question being asked by the researchers.

After performing a blood agar plate and incubating it, you discover that the medium has colonies surrounded by an opaque and green zone. Which of the following types of hemolysis could it be?

 Streptococcus pneumoniae can undergo alpha hemolysis

There is no point in figuring out why a behavior happens as long as you can manipulate or change it.

Which of the following is the term for when complete hemolysis occurs?

Data shows that at your school, ESOL/EL students are having a problem in understanding literacy techniques. Specifically, comparisons such as similes and metaphors were challenging for 72% of ESOL students. You would like to diagnose the exact source of the problem so that students can learn what the state standards require. Which of the following represents the best series of strategies that teachers should use?
