After reading the paragraphs below, answer the questions that follow.During a summer study abroad program, you traveled to Austria to study genetics at the University of Vienna. While you were there, a momentous discovery was made: Some of Gregor Mendel’s original lab books and notes were found to be buried outside of the abbey where he lived. It just so happened that the professor you were working with obtained copies of these notes and enlisted your help to decipher them.You hired a translator to translate Mendel’s notes from Czech to English, and using your knowledge of modern genetics (which Mendel did not have!) you were able to construct a partial Punnett square for crosses with peas (shown here). Because the notebook was damaged from being buried for so long, this is the only information that you have regarding a cross that Mendel must have performed. Your professor has tasked you with figuring out more about this experiment.In pea plants, round peas are dominant (R) and shriveled peas are recessive (r), and yellow peas (shown as light gray in the Punnett square) are dominant (Y) and green peas (dark gray) are recessive (y). Using this information and the partial Punnett square shown, what genotype should be listed in the square labeled A?

Which statement about eukaryotic RNA is true?

A dermatologist treating a young teenager’s acne used a newly developed laser treatment that was more effective than the standard laser treatment. However, it carried a 1% risk of causing serious scarring when administered to teenagers, which the dermatologist did not mention to the teen’s mother or note in the consent forms, which stated only that a laser treatment would be used. The teen’s treatment was completed without any problem, but the mother looked up the particular treatment on the Internet and learned about the risk. She complained to the dermatologist that she would not have consented to use of this particular treatment had she known of the risk, but the dermatologist argued that using the new treatment was justified in the teen’s case because it greatly reduced the likelihood of the teen needing a return visit. Does the mother have a cause of action on behalf of the teen against the dermatologist?

A defendant was charged with murder. During the defendant’s case-in-chief, the defendant’s girlfriend testified that the defendant had been with her at her home during the time frame in which the victim was killed. On cross-exami- nation, the prosecution asked the girlfriend if she had plagiarized her graduate school thesis, and the girlfriend said she did not. The prosecution now seeks to call the girlfriend’s former professor to testify that the girlfriend did in fact plagiarize her thesis. Should the court allow the testimony?

A motorist exceeding the speed limit lost control of her vehicle after another car braked in front of her because of slowed traffic. The vehicle crashed and caught fire but the motorist was able to escape without serious injury. A firefighter responding to the scene was heading from his truck to the burning car when a truck driver exceeding the speed limit was unable to stop at the crash site. The truck struck the firefighter, seriously injuring him. The firefighter brought an action against the motorist and the truck driver. Will the firefighter prevail as against the motorist?

A man was waiting dockside for his mother, who was disembarking from a riverboat cruise. He had just spotted his mother in a group of passengers walking down the gangplank when he heard a loud crack and then screams, as the gangplank collapsed into the water. He ran to the edge and saw his mother face down in the water, surrounded by debris. He fainted and hit his head on a metal railing, sustaining a concus- sion. The gangplank had collapsed because it had been damaged in the previous docking, but the cruise ship employees did not notice the visible damage to the gangplank. If the man sues the cruise ship for his injury, is he likely to prevail?

A pedestrian was hit by a truck while crossing the street, and the truck left the scene. Eventually a passerby discovered the pedestrian and called 911. When paramedics arrived an hour later, the pedestrian was drifting in and out of consciousness. As the paramedic assessed the pedestrian’s wounds, the pedestrian murmured, “It’s no use, I’ll be dead before we get to the hospital. The truck ran the stop light.” The driver of the truck was eventually identified by law enforcement. The pedestrian survived his injuries and filed a personal injury lawsuit against the driver but then died of causes totally unrelated to the accident before the case went to trial. In accordance with the laws of the jurisdiction, the pedestrian’s estate is substituted for the pedestrian as plaintiff. At trial, the pedestrian’s estate seeks to call the paramedic to testify to the pedestrian’s statement. Is the paramedic’s testimony admissible?
