How is a microarray used to scan for mutations in a genome?
What will be an ideal response?
DNA is extracted from cells and cut with one or more restriction enzymes. The fragments are fluorescence tagged, denatured, and annealed to the DNA in the array. Massive amounts of DNA can be screened for sequence changes in a relatively short period of time. It is possible to detect single nucleotide changes under optimal conditions, possibly providing information of a diseased state.

In radishes, two incompletely dominant genes control color and shape. Red (R) is dominant over white (r), and
heterozygotes are purple. Long (L) is dominant over round (l), and heterozygotes are oval. If a true-breeding red, long radish is crossed with a true-breeding white round radish, give the F2 genotypic and phenotypic ratios. What will be an ideal response?
