A security is currently selling for $10,000 and promises to pay $1,500 annually for the next 10 years, and $1,000 annually in the 2 years thereafter with all payments occurring at the end of each year. If your required rate of return is 7%, should you buy this security?

The codon UGG is mutated to UGA. What will happen to the encoded protein?

Interphase FISH has been performed on a patient sample. With a chromosome 8 centromeric (CEP 8) probe, two signals are observed in each spread examined. A probe for the immunoglobulin heavy chain region on chromosome 14 gives two distinct signals per nucleus, and a probe for the myc gene on chromosome 8 gives two distinct signals per nucleus. Which of following interpretations is correct?

When chromosomes are stained with Giemsa, the resulting bands are called:

A patient is being tested to determine whether he has the factor V Leiden mutation by PCR-RFLP analysis. PCR is performed on the patient’s DNA and cut with HindIII. The mutation-positive control sample had a single band of expected size, and the mutation-negative control sample had a slightly larger band. The patient’s specimen had two bands, one that was the same size as the mutation-positive control band and the other the same as the mutation-negative control. Which of the following is the correct interpretation of these results?

Which of the following laboratory methods used to detect mutations relies on differences in dissociation of double-stranded DNA into single-stranded DNA at different points in a gel?
