HELP! NOW! HURRY! A plant seed is exposed to a chemical mutagen. The embryo undergoes a subsequent mutation that renders its gene for mitochondrial ATP synthase
nonfunctional. If the seed is planted in soil, which of the following is the most likely effect of this mutation on the developing embryo?

A. The plant will not germinate, because its cells will not be able to extract the energy it needs from glucose present in stored starch granules.
B. The plant will germinate and grow normally, because the mutation has no negative effect, since the plant can meet its energy needs by carrying out photosynthesis.
C. The plant will germinate and grow as a sickly plant, because it will use chloroplast ATP synthase in place of the nonfunctional mitochondrial ATP synthase.
O D. The plant will germinate but not grow, because it will not be able to extract the energy it needs from glucose made by photosynthesis in emerging leaves.

The human genome project is devoted to mapping the general dna sequence of our species. this could lead to the development of new medicines, as well as the possibility of using gene therapy to treat certain diseases. however, there are some ethical issues surrounding the mapping of individual genomes. one concern is a) that your genes may change over time, making the project useless. b) that insurance companies could discriminate based on genetic make-up. c) that since this has never been done before, we should probably not do it now. d) that sequencing our individual genomes is so expensive, it is a counter-productive strategy.

Imagine you are a student in alfred hershey and martha chase's lab in the late 1940's. you are given five test tubes with the e. coli bacteria that were infected with t2 bacteriophage that have been labeled with 32p or 35s. unfortunately, you forgot to label the tubes and are now uncertain which were 32p labeled and which were 35s labeled. you place the contents of each tube in a blender and pulse it for a few seconds to shear off the protein coats from the bacterial outer membranes. you then centrifuge the contents to seperate the protein coats and the bacterial cells. you then check for radioactivity and obtain the results shown below. which tubes contained e. coli infected with the phage labeled with 32p? select all tubes that apply.
