Below is an electron micrograph of a single gene being transcribed. The DNA strand runs horizontally with RNa transcripts extending vertically outward Image removed due to copyright reasons a)Draw an arrow indicating the direction that the RNA polymerases are
A female geneticist has difficulty characterizing flies by their eye color because she herself is red-green colorblind(an X-linked recessive phenotype). She has one sister(colorblind) and one brother(not colorblind)
The hematopoietic system of mammals is a convenient model to use to study development and differentiation. The bone marrow transplantation experiment discussed in lecture indicates that stem cells are more than a figment of some biologist's fertile imagination

Bob, a student taking 7.012, looks at a long-standing puddle outside his dorm window Curious as to what was growing in the cloudy water, he takes a sample to his TA, Brad Student. He wanted to know whether the organisms in the sample were prokaryotic or eukaryotic
Many intracellular proteins are required to interact or bind to other macromolecules within a bind DNA. Such proteins often have conserved structural features, called motifs, whis at can cell in order to function properly. One class of such proteins is comprised of proteins tha interact with DNA. One such motif consists of two closely aligned a-helices(shown as cylinders below)that each have leucine-rich regions. This motif is referred to as a leucine
Problem 1. An undirected graph G has width w if the vertices can be arranged in a se- quence V1,2,3,…,Vn such that each vertex v; is joined by an edge to at most w preceding vertices. (Vertex vj precedes if i.) Use induction to prove that every graph with width at most w is (w+1)-colorable
Due: Monday, April 11 at 9 PM Problem 1. An electronic toy displays a 4x4 grid of colored squares. At all times, four are red, four are green, four are blue, and four are yellow. For example, here is one possible configuration:
Problem 1. Sammy the Shark is a financial service provider who offers loans on the fol lowing terms. Sammy loans a client m dollars in the morning This puts the client m dollars in debt to Sammy. Each evening, Sammy first charges\service fee\, which increases the client's debt by f dollars, and then Sammy charges interest, which multiplies the debt by a factor
