In metaphase, chromosomes are shortest and show maximum condensation. Chromosomes are arranged at equatorial metaphasic plate. Structure, size and number of chromosomes are best studied at metaphase.

You are given 3 tubes of RNA and asked by your supervisor to clone the gene encoding the proinsulin C-peptide that will be used later to produce insulin. The first tube contains purified mRNA isolated from pancreatic β-cells from a patient in a post-absorptive state. The second tube contains purified mRNA isolated from pancreatic α-cells from a patient during the absorptive state. The third tube contains purified mRNA isolated from pancreatic β-cells from a patient during the absorptive state. In not more than 2 pages (using 1.5 line spacing of Arial or Times New Roman fonts), provide answers for the following questions: 1) Which tube from the three is the most appropriate to use and why? 2) Describe the primary procedure (key steps, no details) that you will follow to clone the C-peptide gene from the RNA above into the only vector you have, a pUC expression vector cut open using EcoR1, which has a 5'-recognition site and a 3'-HindIII in the MCS? 3) How can you guarantee a high expression of your protein in any expression vector?

Texts: There is a population of mice whose fur color is determined by a single locus with two alleles. The dominant allele B produces brown fur in either the homozygous or heterozygous genotypes. Mice who are homozygous for the recessive allele (b) have white fur. In a particular population, 108 mice have white fur and 192 mice have brown fur. a) What are the genotype frequencies for BB, Bb, and bb? b) How many of the 300 individuals have each of the three genotypes? The fitness values for each genotype are as follows: wBB = 0.35, wBb = 0.65, wbb = 1 c) How many individuals of each genotype will contribute to the next generation after selection has acted upon the population? d) What is the average fitness (w) for the population? e) What will be the allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in the new population? f) If the new population also includes 300 individuals, how many of them will have each of the three genotypes? g) How much did the frequencies change as a result of selection?
