For her science fair project, Chloe studied the growth of trumpet vines. She grew 20 trumpet
vines. All of the conditions were the same, except
that she grew 10 in a flower bed without support
and 10 in a flower bed near a trellis. The stems of
the vines near the trellis twisted around the trellis,
and these vines grew tall and seemed much
healthier than the vines grown without a trellis. In
fact, four of the vines grown without a trellis died.
Which characteristic of living things were the
trumpet vines displaying as the stems twisted
around the trellis?
O A. Production of offspring
OB. Use of materials and energy
O C. Movement and change
O D. Growth and development

Which prevent errors in dna replication? a. helicase enzyme checks the dna for errors. b. each base can attach to only one other type of base. c. ribosome enzymes prevent errors from happening. d. dna contains no complementary base pairs.

Approximately 90% of all cases of polycystic kidney disease are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. the disease is typically related to mutations to genes (pkd1 and pkd2). pkd genes can be found on chromosome 16. the disease occurs in approximately 1: 800 to 1: 1000 people. here is a hypothetical example. the dominant allele d will cause the development of pkd. the recessive allele is known as d. what genotypes would correspond to suffering from pkd? dd, dd what genotypes would correspond to being normal (not suffering from pkd)? dd consider that 1: 1,000 people have pkd in your population of 325million. consider that pkd is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. show you math for all of the following questions: what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is p? what is q? how many people in your population would have pkd?

Awoman whose sister tested positive for a specific mutation in the brca1 gene, which increases the risk for breast and ovarian cancer, is found not to have that mutation but does have a mutation of unknown significance near the known mutation site. how should this woman be counseled? select one: a. she should be informed that her risk for breast cancer is greater than the general population but not as great as her sister’s risk. b. she should be informed that because she does not have the mutation, her risk for breast cancer is not greater than that of the general population. c. she should be informed of her gene mutation status and be presented with all the available prophylaxis options and reconstruction options. d. she should be informed that she does not have the specific mutation but that because another mutation is present she should be vigilant about screening
