Question
Fill the blanks correctly.
1. The genomes of chimpanzees and humans are over _________ percent alike. Of the genes that are different is one that is needed for proper ______ development, which probably played an important role in human development.
2. The human genome contains _____ genes, that are translated into _____ different proteins.
3. The cholesterol-fighting drug Lipitor, which is prescribed for patients with high chloresterol levels, works by inhibiting an enzyme needed for the body to manufacture chloresterol. Knkwing the shape of the enzyme helped scientists discover what drug might be able to serve as an inhibitor of that enzyme. This illustrates how proteomics can be useful in developing new drugs for the treatment of disease since enzymes are proteins. Drugs tend to be ______ or small molecules that affect the _____ of _____

- 216 Inquiry into Life Laboratory Manual, 16th Edition ©2020 Mader Experimental Procedure: Wing Length and Body Color in Drosophila If your instructor has frozen flies available, cross out the numbers in Table 22.4 and use the stereomicroscope or a hand lens to count the flies of each type given in Table 22.4. Otherwise simply use the data supplied for you in Table 22.4. Table 22.4 Wing Length and Body Color in Drosophila* Phenotypes Long Gray Long Ebony Short Short Phenotypic Gray Ebony Ratio Number of offspring 28 32 28 30 Class data 128 120 120 120 *Wings and body are understood in this table. Conclusions: Wing Length and Body Color in Drosophila • Calculate the actual phenotypic ratio based on the data and record in Table 22.4. Do the results differ from the expected ratio per individual data?. Per class data? Explain your answer. Two-Trait Genetics Problems 1. In tomatoes, tall is dominant and short is recessive.

What is the genotype for true-breeding purple corn? true-breeding yellow corn? If true-breeding (homozygous) purple corm is crossed with true- breeding yellow corn, Use the Punnett square below to predict the results of the F1 offspring (male gametes on top, female on left): What is the phenotype of the F,?

- Homeotic genes ___. Select one: a. only specify the anterior-posterior axis for each fruit fly segment b. are found only in Drosophila and other arthropods c. encode transcription factors that control the expression of genes responsible for specific anatomical structures d. are responsible for the programmed cell death occuring during morphogenesis Which of the following are some of the viruses' subversive strategies in manipulating human immune system? Select one: a. down-regulation of the expression of MHC molecules b. degradation of the immune system's chemokine signals c. both a and b d. none of the abovearrow_forward1. Selective breeding often comes with benefits and drawbacks. Provide 2-3 examples from the text that supports this statement. (This answer should be at least 5-6 sentences) 2. Should we continue to selectively breed animals or plants? Why or why not? Use multiple examples (broiler chicken, Belgian blue cows, dogs, dairy cows) in your response. Your answer should be at least 5-6 sentences.arrow_forward6. Read the following sentence: “Even though people selectively breed to yield animals with desired traits, there are dangers to selective breeding.” What does yield mean as used in the text? a) To produce b) To surrender c) To endanger d) Not worth much money to removearrow_forward

Children born with PKU must eat a special diet or they will develop symptc as seizures, smaller-sized heads, and learning disabilities. PKU is inherited as a recessive trait. The partial Punnett square shows two parents who are carriers of PKU. A a a If the parents decide to have a child, what is the percent chance that the child will be born with PKU?
