Red-green colorblindness is a recessive trait that is located on the X chromosome. A woman named Eve, who is not colorblind, has a mother that is not colorblind and is not a carrier, and a father who is colorblind. Predict the probability of Adam and Eve having a daughter colorblind, a daughter having normal vision, a son being colorblind, and a son having normal vision. Explain your reasoning.

One strand of a single DNA helix is labeled red while the other strand of the same DNA helix is labeled blue. This double helix DNA is replicated through the process of semi-conservative replication. Note that a completely newly synthesized strand of DNA will be white. After three rounds of DNA replication, how many all-white DNA (both strands are white) will there be? Explain your reasoning.

Transcribe and translate the following sequence of DNA: ATGAAGTTACCC. There is a mutation that resulted in the following sequence: ATGAAATTACC. Predict how this mutation would impact the product of translation.

Which, if any, of the following sequences cannot exist for a mRNA. Explain your answer.

1. UUUUUU
2. AAAAAA
3. CCCCCC
4. UAUAUA
5. GAGAGA

Hypothetically, a cell has DNA that weighs 10 picograms. This cell goes through S phase and is about to undergo mitosis. How much does the DNA of this cell weight now? How much would the DNA of the two cells produced at the end of mitosis weigh? Explain your reasoning.

A cell that has a diploid number of 24 goes through meiosis. How many chromosomes would be in each cell after Meiosis II is completed. Would these cells be haploid or diploid? How many cells would be expected at the end of Meiosis II. Explain.
