1)You are trying to determine the order of three Drosophila mutants on the X chromosome, relative to each other. The symbols for those three recessive mutant alleles are ph, z, and te. Describe the crosses you would do (stating the genotypes and sex of the individuals in crosses) and the results that you will get in order to determine the relative order of the mutant alleles along the X chromosome.”

“2. Describe what it means to be a palindrome. Is GATATC a palindrome? Is AAAGGG?”

“3. How many fragments would you expect to be formed from digestion of a 2500 base pair long linear piece of DNA using a restriction enzyme with a 5 base pair recognition sequence?”

“4. What is recombinant DNA?”

“5. What nucleotide derivatives are used for Sanger sequencing and why are they important for this process?”
