forensic scientists take advantage of genomic
variations in noncoding regions of DNA the
techniques of polymerase chain reaction (PCR) and
gel electrophoresis Introduction In recent
years, law enforcement has been revolutionized by
molecular biology. When human tissues are left
behind at crime scenes, these tissues can be
collected and processed to yield samples of DNA,
which can then be treated to isolate specific DNA
fragments that are highly variable in the human
population. Which band pattern among Lanes 3 to 6
seems to be the closest match to the band pattern
in Lane 2, where the crime-scene DNA fragment was
loaded? Which suspect appears to be the culprit?
What is the molecular weight (in base pairs) of
the fragment in Lane 2 (DNA from the crime
scene), Lane 3 (Suspect 1), Lane 4 (Suspect 2),
Lane 5 (Suspect 3), and Lane 6 (Suspect 4)? Part
C How does analyzing DNA profiles using the gel
electrophoresis tool allow you to draw both
qualitative and quantitative conclusions about
the likely identity of the suspect in this case?

purple sea urchin, and sea otter populations.
What happened to all three populations when
catastrophe struck the sea otters? Which
populations were wiped out, and in what order?
Why do you think the removal of the otters caused
the other two populations to crash as well?
Examine the graphs in the Lab Book. What happened
to the populations growth patterns when 100
individuals of each species were reintroduced to
the habitat? What would have happened if you had
only reintroduced the kelp and the urchin?
Explain. What if you had only reintroduced five
individuals of each species? Would that have
worked to restore the populations? Explain your
hypothesis. Describe the results of the
simulation. Was your hypothesis supported?

present. Describe the growth of the Burmese
python population immediately after they were
introduced. What happened to the populations of
the other animals? Suggest one reason why the
introduction of Burmese pythons to this ecosystem
may have caused the effects you observed. What

you recommend introducing another nonnative
species from Southeast Asia that is known to prey
upon the Burmese python or its eggs? Explain. Not

Couple 2 comes into your office. The husband is
color blind the wife is homozygous for the
normal vision allele. Couple 3 comes into your
office. The husband is color blind the wife is
heterozygous for the color-blindness allele.
Review the results you obtained for the female
offspring of the three couples. Based on your
results for the female offspring, predict whether
color blindness is a dominant or recessive trait.
Explain your reasoning. Complete the Punnett
squares below to determine the possible genotypes
of each couples male and female offspring. (X
represents the normal color vision allele. X
represents the color-blindness allele. Y

VISIT www.bio240tutorial.com There is a fierce
competition among individuals within any species,
humans included, to gain access to reproductive
privileges. The fittest a term that signifies
the largest, prettiest, and most sexually
attractive members, succeed in predominantly
mating and having offspring, while the less
attractive ones often do not. What is the role of
such sexual selection from an evolutionary
standpoint?Instead of engaging in fights over
potential mates, what would be the problem of
simply mating with family members, say, siblings
and other relatives? Isnt this a more efficient
way to spread genes, without the added peril of
having to find potential mates, which could be a
dangerous, strenuous, and uncertain activity? Why
not take that and "run?"
