In phi X 174 phage, whose genome is a single-stranded, circular DNA known as the – strand, replication occurs by the rolling circle method. In which order must the events of replication occur?
A) nicking of the – strand, binding of relaxase protein to the 5? end, DNA synthesis of a + strand, separation of + from – strands, circularization of both strands
B) synthesis of a + strand, nicking at the origin, binding of protein to the 5? end, DNA synthesis, displacement of the + strand when replication passes the origin, circularization of the + strand
C) synthesis of a + strand, nicking of both strands to separate them, recircularization of both strands
D) binding of a protein at the origin of the – strand, synthesis of a + strand, release of the + strand

A mother is a carrier for blue eyes (autosomal recessive) and for hemophilia (X-linked recessive). Which of these is a correct statement?
A) All sons will have blue eyes and be hemophiliacs. B) The phenotype depends on the father's genotype as to whether the sons will have blue eyes and/or be hemophiliacs.
