The basis of microarray analysis is:
A. cleaving double-stranded DNA from a test
subject with restriction enzymes to see if the
subject's DNA has varying distances between
cleavage sites.
B. using gel electophoresis to determine the
number and position of labeled bands after
probe hybridization.
C. hybridization of single-stranded DNA from
a test subject with immobilized singlestranded
oligonucleotides of known
sequence.
D. determining the amino acid sequence of
proteins involved in viral infection in order to
identify a genotype which is resistant to
infection.
E. All of the answer choices are part of
microarray analysis.

You arrive late to a biological seminar. However, just as you enter the room, you hear the speaker referring to the "amino end" and the "carboxyl end" of a macromolecule. Immediately, you know that they are talking about a:
A. carbohydrate. B. protein. C. lipid. D. DNA.

You are excited because your lab is studying the first microorganisms retrieved from Mars! Interestingly, their genetic material consists of a single-stranded nucleic acid with six different nitrogenous bases. Like organisms from Earth, segments of the nucleic acid contain the code for making proteins. If the genetic code in these organisms was read in groups of 2 bases instead of 3, what is the maximum number of amino acids that could be coded for assuming that only one codon functioned as a stop codon? (Enter your answer as a numeral not a word, e.g. enter 17 not seventeen.)
