Question

Q1) The naive graduate student crossed a red flower with a white flower, and all the progeny were pink. The smart undergraduate student explained that the color trait displayed

   semidominance
   codominance
   intermediate dominance
   incomplete dominance
   indescribable dominance

Q2) In bacteria, gene regulation can be positive or negative. In positive regulation, a(n) ___ must be bound to the DNA to ___ the gene.

   antibody; protect
   activator; turn on
   effector; induce
   repressor; inactivate

Q3) If a double stranded DNA molecule is 27% Adenine, what is the GC content?

   25%
   46%
   67%
   24%

Q4)This is one of five questions that requires you to match the following component of the replisome (uppercase text below) with the best definition

Okazaki fragments

Removes RNA primer

Explanation / Answer

Q1) The naive graduate student crossed a red flower with a white flower, and all the progeny were pink. The smart undergraduate student explained that the color trait displayed
The answer is incomplete dominance

Q2) In bacteria, gene regulation can be positive or negative. In positive regulation, a(n) ___ must be bound to the DNA to ___ the gene.
The answer is activator; turn on

Q3) If a double stranded DNA molecule is 27% Adenine, what is the GC content?
The answer is
%A=%T+%G=%C = 100%.
So, the % of T = 27. (Because A binds with T)

%G=%C = 100%- %A+%T
= 100-27+27 = 46.

The answer is 46%

Q4)This is one of five questions that requires you to match the following component of the replisome (uppercase text below) with the best definition
Okazaki fragments
The answer is Short fragments on the lagging strand

During DNA synthesis, one strand synthesis occurs continously, where as another strand synthesis occurs discontinoulsy. That discoutinous strand is called lagginstrand and the short synthesized fragments is called okazaki fragments.
