A consequence of sepsis is disseminated intravascular coagulation (DIC), which is characterized by numerous small blood vessels becoming clogged with clotted blood and bleeding as a result of the depletion of coagulation factors. Although any circulating pathogen can cause DIC, it is most often a consequence of ________ sepsis
a. fungal
b. viral
c. gram-positive
d. gram-negative
D
Although most often a consequence of gram-negative bacterial sepsis, DIC can occur with septi-cemia involving any circulating pathogen, including parasites, viruses, and fungi.

Which of the following is not true of RecA binding and function?
A. Single-stranded binding proteins (SSB) bound to single-strand DNA prevent RecA binding. B. RecB recruits RecA to the 3' end of the single-strand overhang. C. RecFOR can recruit RecA to single-strand gaps. D. RecA can displace SSB with the help of RecBCD but not RecFOR complexes. E. RecA is an ATPase as well as a recombinase.
In primroses, the dominant allele of gene K is necessary to synthesize blue flower pigment. Blue pigment synthesis is inhibited by a dominant allele of gene D. In other words, plants with the genotype K- D- will not produce pigment (and their flowers will be white) because of the presence of the D allele. What type of gene interaction determines flower color in primroses?
A) one gene with two completely dominant alleles B) two-genes with recessive epistasis C) two redundant genes D) two genes with dominant epistasis
