Suppose a species of bird called the red‑crested warbler has a plumage length that is controlled by a single gene. The Plm allele produces long plumage and is dominant over the plm short plumage allele. One population exists in North America (Na) and a separate population exists in South America (SA). The trait is in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium in each population.

An island nature preserve brings in 112 NA warblers and 452 SA warblers.
452 SA warblers. Out of the 112 NA birds, 55 have long plumage. Out of the 452 SA warblers, 75 have long plumage. After the birds from the combined populations mate randomly, the island population produces 1000 offspring. Calculate the number of these offspring that are expected to have long plumage. Round the number to two significant figures.

The dna in a cell’s nucleus encodes proteins that are eventually targeted to every membrane and compartment in the cell, as well as proteins that are targeted for secretion from the cell. for example, consider these two proteins: phosphofructokinase (pfk) is an enzyme that functions in the cytoplasm during glycolysis. insulin, a protein that regulates blood sugar levels, is secreted from specialized pancreatic cells. assume that you can track the cellular locations of these two proteins from the time that translation is complete until the proteins reach their final destinations.for each protein, identify its targeting pathway: the sequence of cellular locations in which the protein is found from when translation is complete until it reaches its final (functional) destination. (note that if an organelle is listed in a pathway, the location implied is inside the organelle, not in the membrane that surrounds the organelle.)

How does a lytic infection differ from a lysogenic infection?

In trying to determine whether dna or protein is the genetic material, hershey and chase made use of which of the following facts? a) dna contains sulfur, whereas protein does not. b) dna contains phosphorus, whereas protein does not. c) dna contains nitrogen, whereas protein does not. d) dna contains purines, whereas protein includes pyrimidines.
