You are working in a research laboratory and have developed a new reagent that cleaves C-H bonds homolytically. Unfortunately, this reagent can achieve only one of the transformations shown below. In light of bond dissociation energies, which transformation is most likely to be achieved?

To be consistent with the semi-conservative model, what would be the expected results for the Meselson and Stahl experiment after 4 generations? Note: Generation zero has all heavy DNA, and all subsequent generations use light nitrogen to make new DNA strands.

A gene that codes an enzyme comes with two alleles: a wild-type allele and a dominant negative mutant allele. Let’s suppose 1 mg of the wild-type enzyme has 100% enzymatic activity and 1 mg of the mutant enzyme has 0% activity. If you mix together 1 mg of the wild-type enzyme and 1 mg of the mutant enzyme and measured the enzymatic activity, what result would you expect?
