FIU Online expects that all members of its academic community adhere to the highest ethical and professional standards. To ensure that we maintain academic integrity, we have developed policies and procedures designed to support academic excellence and intellectual growth. Academic dishonesty undermines the educational experience for everyone, and we ask that all FIU Online students familiarize themselves with rules and policies concerning academic misconduct.

An Erlang distribution models a random variable as the time elapsed before a fixed number of successes occur; for instance, one might model the time a commuter waits for their subway car as an Erlang distributed random variable. For

Shown in panels A-D are single stranded DNA based oligonucleotides. The key provides information on the modifications that may be present at the 5′ and 3′ ends. Select the oligonucleotide that best fits the description provided below.                               Oligonucleotide that can be used in standard PCR as a primer for amplification Oligonucleotide that can be used in real-time PCR as a primer for amplification Oligonucleotide that can be used as a probe for real-time PCR Oligonucleotide that can be used as a primer in Sanger based DNA sequencing Oligonucleotide that would be adhered to a slide for use in a DNA microarray Oligonucleotide that would be used as a primer in SMRT based DNA sequencing

Define the term ‘epigenetics’. (1pt) Explain with identical twins are a good example of epigenetic regulation. (1pt)

Which of these will increase the coverage of a confidence interval? Select all that apply. 

What information is obtained from a DNA microarray assay?

Which DNA sequencing method would be able to distinguish between an adenine and a methylated adenine?

Reporter constructs are generated to monitor gene expression. DNA sequence that codes for reporters like GFP or lacZ are 

Oxford Nanopore long-read sequencing uses a ‘motor’ protein. This protein converts double-stranded DNA into single strands. Given this activity, which enzyme is most likely functioning as the ‘motor’?

Solve the trigonometric equation on the interval
