Ageneticist studying fruit flies hypothesizes that short wings are a recessive
trait coded for by a single gene. which observation is most likely to have led
her to form this hypothesis?
f flies have wing lengths ranging from very long to very short.
g flies with long wings are less likely to survive.
h flies with long wings can produce offspring with short wings.
j flies with short wings prefer to mate with flies with long wings.

Kate is studying the transformation from unicellular to multicellular organisms. which metaphor is the most appropriate to apply to the map of the timeline.

Penicillin is hydrolyzed and thereby rendered inactive by penicillinase (also known as β-lactamase), an enzyme present in some resistant bacteria. the mass of this enzyme in staphylococcus aureus is 29.6 kd. the amount of penicillin hydrolyzed in 1 minute in a 10-ml solution containing 10-9 g of purified penicillinase was measured as a function of the concentration of penicillin. assume that the concentration of penicillin does not change appreciably during the assay. penicillin(μm) amount hydrolyzed(nmol) 1 0.11 3 0.25 5 0.34 10 0.45 30 0.58 50 0.61 (a) plot v0 versus [s] and 1/v0 versus 1/[s] for these data. does penicillinase appear to obey michaelis-menten kinetics? if so, what is the value of km? (b) what is the value of vmax? (c) what is the turnover number of penicillinase under these experimental conditions? assume one active site per enzyme molecule.
