The most common form of hemophilia is a defect in blood clotting factor VIII, which is caused by a mutant form of a gene on the X chromosome. Boys who inherit that mutation from their mother suffer from uncontrolled bleeding. Girls carrying one copy of this mutation have near normal blood clotting. Uncommonly, a girl is born with hemophilia even though both parents have normal phenotypes. Which of the statements might explain hemophilia in a girl born to parents with normal blood clotting phenotypes? A. A non-disjunction event in sperm production resulted in her receiving X and Y chromosomes from her father and an X from her mother; she is XXY.
B. Non-disjunction during sperm formation resulted in her receiving no sex chromosome from her father and an X chromosome from her mother; she is XO.
C. Non-disjunction during egg formation resulted in her receiving two X chromosomes from her mother and an X chromosome from her father; she is XXX.
D. Non-disjunction during egg formation resulted in her receiving no X chromosome from her mother but an X from her father; she is XO.

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?
