An athletics coach is training three runners Nicole, Kevin, and Ivko to compete in a 10-mile race. He can only enter two of the runners and needs to decide which runner will not be entered.  He knows how many minutes it has taken each runner to run 10 miles in their training sessions: Nicole 70 58 58 65 59 60 66 59 65 65 66 65 Kevin 62 60 60 64 86 64 64 61 59 62 64 62 Ivko 65 63 62 64 62 65 65 65 65 64     Round your answers to 1 decimal place.

The National Center for Health Statistics publishes information on the duration of marriages in Vital Statistics of the United States.  Which measure of central tendency is more appropriate for data on the duration of marriages, the mean or the median?  Explain your answer.

Mammalian cells were grown in a cell culture medium that contains large amounts of uracil labeled with radioactivity on the two nitrogens in the uracil ring. Assume that this radioactive nitrogen remains in uracil and cannot be transferred to any other molecule.  Which of the following molecules would probably contain radioactivity? 

Indicate the sequence which represents a correct transcript of the following segment of DNA: 3′ TAGCTTGGCACA 5′ Coding Strand (nontemplate strand) 5′ ATCGAACCGTGT 3′   Watch your 5′ to 3′ end!

A pea breeder has performed a series of dihybrid genetic crosses looking at pea color and shape. Yellow color and round peas are each dominant traits while green and wrinkled are each recessive. The following progeny in the second generation (F2) were observed: 150 yellow wrinkled, 417 yellow round, 61 green wrinkled, and 159 green round. The breeder’s hypothesis is that this does not follow Mendel’s rules for random, independent assortment of the traits. Instead, she thinks that there is linkage between these traits. Is her hypothesis correct?

Consider the DNA template 3’—AAATTTTAGCCA—5′. When transcribed, which of the following is the correct resulting transcript?
