Summary Introduction
To suggest: The evidence showing that the hygienic behavior of bees in which, the bees uncap the cells containg the larvae infected by the bacterial disease foulbrood and removing the dead larvae from the hive, is transmitted by two independently segregating genes.
Introduction: Some strains of bees are called hygienic as they uncap the cells which contain rotting larvae and remove those from the hive. This behavior includes two components, first is the removal of cell caps, and the second is the removal of the larvae.

The figure below shows the life cycle of the fungus Neurospora. The adult stage of the Neurospora is a multicellular haploid.
Neurospora has an arginine amino acid synthesis pathway shown below. Suppose I have a Neurospora strain that has a mutation such that it will not grow unless I supplement the media (food) with arginine (but not with citrulline or ornithine). What gene is mutated? Explain your reasoning.
Can you give me an example for the word emergence?
Gonorrhea is a sexually transmissible disease (STD) caused by the bacterium Neiserria gonorrhoeae. In the 1940s, penicillin was introduced as an antibiotic to treat gonorrhea. In particular, the drug inhibits the formation of new cell walls in dividing bacterial cells, making new cells vulnerable to the human body's defences. However, a new strain of Neiserria gonorrhoeae was found that is capable of breaking down penicillin, making this strain resistant. The emergence of this new strain has been associated with instances of non-strict compliance of certain patients on the use of penicillin as well as the improper administration of the drug. Based on the information given, formulate a strategy that could help control this new strain.

Which of the following statements is true regarding the genetic basis of the bees’ ability to track the passage of time and compensate for the movement of the sun? a. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on the Amfor gene, which causes a build up of AMFOR protein in the corpora pedunculata that activates the Gp9 and UU genes, whose products degrade AMFOR in a 24 hour cycle. b. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on the per gene in the optic lobes, whose activity has a 24 hour cycle regulated by the dbt and tim genes. c. The bees’ clock mechanism is based on alternating expression of two alleles for the for gene in the subesophagael ganglion: the R allele which is active at night and the s allele which is active during the day. d.
