You are doing a mark-recapture experiment to determine the population size of the mendaliens living on an island in my back yard. initially, you catch and mark 130 mendaliens, which you then release. next, you capture 90 mendaliens, of which 20 are marked. what is your estimate of the population size of mendaliens living on the island in my back yard?

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?

4. multiple crosses were made between true-breeding lines of black and yellow labrador retrievers. all the f1 progeny were black. when these progeny were intercrossed, they produced an f2 consisting of 91 black, 39 yellow and 30 chocolate. a. propose an explanation for the inheritance of coat color in labradors. b. propose a biochemical pathway for coat color determination and indicate how the relevant genes control coat coloration.
