In the southeastern U.S., two species of wild lettuce (Lactuca) do not usually form hybrids, because they bloom at different seasons. The means of isolation appears to be

Production of the iron-storing protein ferritin is regulated by aconitase, which binds to a 30-nucleotide sequence at the beginning of the ferritin mRNA and interferes with ribosome binding. Aconitase must be a

You are walking around campus and you are in luck! A table has been set up to collect volunteers’ DNA samples for free complete genomic sequencing! You have heard about this in the news, and thanks to this course, you have some concerns. Which of the following statements regarding genomic sequencing is NOT true?

You have discovered a very small amount of DNA from an ancient organism that you want to save and study. What is the very first thing you should do to allow you to study this DNA in the lab?

What does linkage analysis determine?

Examine the table of codons in the table. What amino acid sequence will be produced based on the following mRNA codon sequence?5′-AUG-UCU-UCG-UUA-UCC-UUG-3′

For transcription to be initiated

The diagram provided shows different regions (1-5) of a pre-mRNA molecule, a mature-mRNA molecule, and the protein corresponding to the mRNA. A mutation in which region is most likely to be damaging to the cell?
