Genetics mothers give birth to sons at the same time at a busy urban hospital. the son of mother 1 is afflicted with hemophilia, a disease caused by an x-linked recessive allele. neither parent has the disease. mother 2 has a normal son, despite the fact that the father has hemophilia. several years later, couple 1 sues the hospital, claiming that these two newborns were swapped in the nursery following their birth. as a genetic counselor, you are called to testify. part awhat information can you provide the jury concerning the allegation? what information can you provide the jury concerning the allegation? passage of x-linked genes typically occurs in a complicated way and the data available can neither support nor deny the first couple's claim. passage of x-linked genes typically occurs from affected parent to affected son. the fact that neither parent from couple 1 has hemophilia suggests that their son could not have the condition. the first couple's claim is valid. passage of x-linked genes typically occurs from affected father to affected son. the fact that the father in couple 2 has hemophilia would ensure his son to have this condition. the first couple's claim is valid. passage of x-linked genes typically occurs from carrier mother to affected son. the fact that the father in couple 2 has hemophilia would not predispose his son to hemophilia. the first couple has no valid claim.

Four different thermometers were used to measure the temperature of a sample of pure boiling water. the measurements are recorded in the table below. thermometer temperature reading 1 temperature reading 2 temperature reading 3 w 100.1°c 99.9°c 96.9°c x 100.4°c 102.3°c 101.4°c y 90.0°c 95.2°c 98.6°c z 90.8°c 90.6°c 90.7°c the actual boiling point of pure water is 100.0°c. what can be concluded from the data about the reliability and validity of the thermometers?

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?
