A tennis ball is launched at a speed of 20.0 m/s. If air resistance can be ignored, how high (in meters) would the ball rise if projected straight up? Express your answer to 3 significant digits.

Smith Company forecasts that total overhead for the current year will be $15,000,000 with 300,000 total machine hours. Year to date, the actual overhead is $16,000,000 and the actual machine hours are 330,000 hours. If Smith Company uses a predetermined overhead rate based on machine hours for applying overhead, as of this point in time (year to date), the overhead is

Consider a scenario in which a woman who is a carrier for an X-linked recessive disorder has a son. What are the probabilities that the son will inherit the disorder, and why are males more likely to exhibit X-linked recessive disorders than females? How would the situation differ if the father carried the allele for the disorder?

Includes both budget and actual amounts.

In bacteria, horizontal gene transfer can occur through conjugation, transformation, and transduction. Compare and contrast these three methods of genetic exchange, discussing the mechanisms behind each process and their significance in bacterial evolution. How does gene transfer in bacteria contribute to the spread of antibiotic resistance?

In a two-point test cross between two heterozygous organisms, you obtain a recombinant frequency of 12%. Based on this data, calculate the genetic distance between the two genes in centimorgans (cM). What potential sources of error might influence your measurement of recombination frequency, and how can these be minimized in a genetic experiment?

Gene mutations are a major source of genetic variation. Describe the different types of mutations (point mutations, frameshift mutations, and silent mutations), and explain how each type can affect gene function. What is the potential outcome of a mutation in a coding region versus a non-coding region of a gene?
