A gene that is latent or hidden in the hybrid generation is described as ________.

Cells that contain only one set of chromosomes are called _______________.

Organisms that reproduce sexually begin life as a fertilized egg, which is also known as a __________.

In the study published in 2012, Jinek el al, describing the utility of CRISPR-CAS as gene editing tool, how was transformation of bacterial cells used to reproduce the CRISPR-Cas9 system in a test tube?

The template strand of DNA that encodes a particular tRNA molecule in a cell has the sequence:  5′-CTC-‘3.  These nucleotides are in the anti-codon portion of the gene.  The cell suddenly experiences a mutation and the above sequence changes to:  5′-TTC-3’.  In detail, describe what will happen.  Consider the genetic code, amino acids, and the overall effect of this mutation on the cell.  Be specific.

Prokaryotes, such as bacteria, reproduce by _______________.

The chromosomes that determine the sex of the organism are called _______________ and contain chromosome pair(s) _______.

Match the type of conjunctivitis with the predominant clinical findings

Jessica, age 10 months presents with URI symptoms and bilateral clear eye discharge with very mild  erythema of the bilateral palpebral conjunctivae. She attends day care and her mother indicates the day care provider told her to “get eye drops” to treat her eye infections” before returning to day care.  Your best response is:

John is a 12 year-old male who presents for a well child exam. He is mildly overweight (87th percentile) and, by history, is involved in little physical activity. His diet on review is high in processed foods and snacks. He is otherwise healthy. His family history is negative for hyperlipidemia or cardiovascular disease. His physical exam is unremarkable. You decide to check his cholesterol and HDL. The total cholesterol result is 176. The HDL is 28. A fasting lipid profile (FLP) is drawn 2 weeks later. The TC is 178, LDL is 130, HDL is 29, TG 131. The FLP is repeated in 1 month and the average value of total cholesterol in the 2 samples is 177 and the average value of LDL is 128. The best initial management plan would be:
