People with the genetic disease xeroderma pigmentosum have compromised DNA repair mechanisms, making them extremely sensitive to genetic damage from sunlight
Without taking measures to minimize exposure, these individuals typically succumb to skin cancer in childhood or early adulthood–a demonstration of the mutagenicity of ultraviolet radiation. Yet, deliberate exposure in the form of sunbathing is very popular with some segments of the population. Why do you think this is so, and how might public health professionals raise awareness of the danger in which these people place themselves?
You take a sample of bacteria with DNA that contains only 14N and allow them to replicate in a medium that contains only 15N. After 3 rounds of replication, what percent of the DNA molecules will contain one strand with only 14N and one strand with only 15N? Enter your answer as a whole number without the percent sign. For example, 5% would be entered as 5 and 37% would be entered as 37.
