A wild-type fruit fly that is heterozygous for both body color and eye color is mated with a fly exhibiting
two recessive mutations, ebony body and sepia eyes. The offspring were mostly wild/wild or
ebony/sepia, with fewer wild/sepia or ebony/wild. Distribution was roughly the same for each sex. Based
on the data, genes for ebony body and sepia eyes in fruit flies are most likely ___. - Answer linked
What provides the immediate source of energy to establish the proton (H⁺) concentration gradient
across the inner membrane of mitochondria during aerobic respiration? - Answer Oxidation-reduction
reactions as electrons are passed sequentially along members of the electron transport chain.
What pair of scientists used bacteriophages, which are composed of only DNA and protein, to
demonstrate that DNA is the heritable macromolecule that carries genetic information? - Answer
Alfred Hershey and Martha Chase
What structure pumps blood out of the mammalian heart? - Answer ventricle
In the blood and tissue fluids, cholesterol is typically found in complexes with low-density lipoproteins
(LDLs). Cells take up cholesterol when LDL receptors in the plasma membrane bind to the circulating
cholesterol-LDL complexes. Cells do not take up cholesterol when there is an excess of free intracellular
cholesterol. What is an example of a negative feedback mechanism by which cells can regulate the
concentration of intracellular cholesterol? - Answer When there is an excess of intracellular cholesterol,
cells do not transcribe the gene encoding the LDL receptor.
