2. Which answer below is a hypothesis for the validity of echinacea?
Does echinacea reduce the duration and symptoms of the common cold?
Echinacea reduces the duration and severity of the symptoms of the common cold.
If echinacea acts as above, then patients treated with echinacea at the first sign of cold symptoms should recover faster than untreated patients.
None of the above.
Answer:
1 is a question
2 is a hypothesis and the correct answer
3 is a prediction based on that hypothesis 2

3. Which answer below would strengthen your experimental design?
Use a large sample size with a control.
Use a small sample size and only look at the affects on men.
Use a large sample size and don’t worry about any control—its irrelevant.
Use a large sample size.
No truly correct answer depending on the drug you picked. This slide is meant to add to discussion. Probably answer 1 is the best answer if you are talking about an over- the-counter medication. You would want a large sample size that includes many different kinds of people. You may want to bring up the point that some studies only use men or Caucasians and the effects of a drug may be different in women or African Americans/Asians/Latinos.

4. When you eat a candy bar you are eating mostly simple sugars
When you eat a candy bar you are eating mostly simple sugars. If you eat a candy bar while watching a movie, how will your body utilize those sugars?
All of the sugars will be used immediately by your working muscles.
The sugars will likely be stored as glycogen.
The sugars will likely be stored as fat.
Both 2 and 3 are correct.

33. Which mutation has the most affect on the protein sequence
Which mutation has the most affect on the protein sequence? mRNA: AUG-UGU-AGU-GGC-AGA Protein: MET-CYS-SER-GLY-ARG
mRNA: AUG-UGU-AGU-GGA-AGA
mRNA: AUG-UGU-AGU-GGC-GA
mRNA: AUG-UGG-UAG-UGG-CAG-A
mRNA: AUG-UGU-AGU-GGA-AGC
Base substitution; no change in protein sequence.
Deletion toward the end of the sequence is not as dramatic of an effect.
Insertion close to beginning causes dramatic change in protein sequence.
Base substitution changes last amino acid to SER.

34. Mutations generally fall into two types: point mutations and chromosomal aberrations (Figure 5-21 Point mutations and chromosomal aberrations). In point mutations, one base pair is changed, whereas in chromosomal aberrations, entire sections of a chromosome are altered.
Point mutations are mutations in which one nucleotide base pair in the DNA is replaced with another or in which a base pair is inserted or deleted. Insertions and deletions can be much more harmful than substitutions because they can alter the reading-frame for the rest of the gene. Remember that the amino acid sequence of a protein is determined by reading the bases on an mRNA molecule three at a time and attaching the specific amino acid that is specified by that sequence. If a single base is added or removed, the three-base groupings get thrown off and the sequence of amino acids stipulated will be all wrong. It’s almost like putting your hands on a computer keyboard, but offset by one key to the left or right, and then typing what should be a normal sentence. It comes out as gibberish.
Chromosomal aberrations are changes to the overall organization of the genes on a chromosome. Chromosomal aberrations are like the manipulation of large chunks of text within a paper. They can involve the complete deletion of an entire section of DNA, the moving of a gene from one part of a chromosome to another, or the duplication of a gene with the new copy inserted elsewhere on the chromosome. In any case, a gene’s expression—the production of the protein the gene’s sequence codes for—can be altered when it is moved, as can the expression of the genes around it. 34

Insertion close to beginning causes dramatic change in protein sequence.
Base substitution changes last amino acid to SER.
