Question:
The restriction map of a circular plasmid is shown below, along with the indicated distances between the restriction sites.
The plasmid was completely digested with EcoRI, and XhoI. The products were analysed by agarose gel electrophoresis followed by ethidium bromide staining. The number of bands that will be visible in the gel when exposed to UV light is __________.

Correct Answer: 3
Solution and Explanation
EcoRI cuts the plasmid into two fragments (2 kb and 3 kb), and XhoI cuts it into 2 fragments (2 kb and 5 kb). The restriction map shows two EcoRI and two XhoI sites, leading to a total of three distinct bands when the plasmid is completely digested

- A rare genetic disorder resulting from homozygosity for a recessive allele (\( r \)) occurs in 2 out of every 10,000 individuals in a population. Assuming that (i) the disorder is not lethal, (ii) the disorder does not impact reproductive success, (iii) no new mutations are introduced in the population, and (iv) the population follows Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium, the percentage (%) of the carriers in the population that pass the \( r \) allele to offspring is ..........
