You are studying a novel protein. To learn more about it, you performed a screen in yeast to identify proteins that could interact with it. From the screen, you got a clone for a second gene. You had the clone sequenced, and you translated the gene sequence on your computer. What is the next logical step to learn more about the function of these two proteins?
A. Run a BLAST search.
B. Localize the gene to a specific chromosomal region.
C. Identify the intron/exon organization.
D. Search the human genome sequence for your clone.

It was important that Mendel examined not just the F1 generation in his breeding experiments, but the F2 generation as well, because
A) he obtained very few F1 progeny, making statistical analysis difficult. B) parental traits that were not observed in the F1 reappeared in the F2. C) analysis of the F1 progeny would have allowed him to discover the law of segregation, but not the law of independent assortment. D) the dominant phenotypes were visible in the F2 generation, but not in the F1. E) many of the F1 progeny died.
Which of the following statement(s) about the hydrologic cycle is (are) true?
A. Some water evaporates from land and from plants. B. Once water sinks into the ground, it is safe from human exploitation or pollution until it has rejoined the ocean. C. All water molecules that evaporate from the ocean precipitate on land and move by gravity through groundwater to the ocean again. D. Because this is a true cycle, it is impossible to run out of fresh water for human use. E. All of the choices are true.
