WHICH ONE is the difference between VNTRs (Variable Number Tandem Repeats) and STRs (Short Tandem Repeats) used in forensic DNA analysis? a) VNTRs technology allows trace DNA to be analyzed; STRs technology does not. b) VNTRs can be amplified by PCR; STRs cannot be amplified by PCR. c) VNTRs cannot be multiplied to obtain an allele frequency; STRs can be multiplied to obtain an allele frequency. d) VNTRs polymorphic DNA sequence is much longer than that of STRs.

(16 pts.) The gel shown below shows patterns observed for a STR (short tandem repeat) locus among four sets of parents (1-8) and four children (A-D). One child comes from each set of parents. 3. Why are there two bands for each parent? a. b. Although all the people shown here have two bands, it is possible (and not unusual) fora person to have only one band. Explain how this could happen. Consider earlier discussions on extensions to Mendelian genetics....

2. Short tandem repeat polymorphisms (STRPs) are genetic markers that have multiple alleles per locus in the population. Since there are more than 2 alleles for a STRP, we have to use numbers rather than A/a or +/- to indicate their identities. The following pedigree corresponds to the genotype table below. The order of alleles listed for each genotype does not indicate anything about haplotype (e.g. "1,2" could mean 1 is on the maternal chromosome and 2 is on the...

Which of the following statements is false? Epistasis involves interactions among different genes, to influence phenotype. When an allele is dominant, the heterozygous combination is the same phenotypically as one of the homozygotes. Dominance refers to the form of expression of a gene in relation to its allele (or alleles). Epistasis involves interactions between alleles of a single gene.

Questions to complete: 1. How do the life cycles vary among the different plant groups? Gymnosperm vs. Angiosperm. 2. In comparison to mosses and ferns, what adaptations do gymnosperms have that make them better adapted to a dry environment? 3. Why are angiosperms so successful? 4. Compare and contrast a pinecone and a flower in terms of structure and function. 5. Describe flower morphology. 6. Explain why plant diversity can be considered a nonrenewable resource.

1,If a specific gene has 9 different co-dominant alleles in a
population, how many degrees of freedom are there when doing a
chi-square test?
2,The following gel shows a single co-dominant polymorphic locus
for 9 individuals. Calculate Nei's heterozygosity at this
locus.
3, If H=.30, p=0.35 and q=0.65,
is there a deficiency or excess of heterozygotes in the
population?

Questions 9-12 deal with SSR loci in Sam's genome. Remember that SSRs (simple sequence repeats) are tandem (next to each other) repeats of short sequences (a few bp). Such tandem repeats are located at specific sites scattered throughout the genome. Individuals vary in the number of repeats at each site sites can have up to 100 repeats. Each locus with the same repeats is called an SSR ocus DNA was extracted from Sam's white blood cells and cut with a...
