Hi!!

I wanted to thank everyone who has helped me out with the NBME questions for this topic. But I still have some questions that were are unanswered and my exam is in 2 weeks! sad Can you please help me out with them? I wanted to understand also why it is the correct answer and I have been having trouble finding the reasoning behind these particular questions.

I've attached 2 files in this topic, I have to do it in separate replies cuz it only lets me attach one file at a time..

Thanks!!

can u explain why the answer to 44 is C. the question stem is the anticodon, so shouldnt the codon be preceding it? maybe i am wrong i am weak at genetics. thanx.

if the grandfather has AD disease that means the kid has 1/2 risk to inherit the disease; the grandchildren has another 1/2 risk to inherit the disease.In genetics final probability is add of probabilyties so 1/2* 1/2 means 1/4.

Always you have to think about antiparallelism and complementarity which mean if you have a sequence 5-3 the reading will be 3[-5 and you have to put the base pair complementary.

hey kobita u got me wrong.i didnt mean to discourage amitdoc.i actually dont know how to post the links of the discussions as some poeple do else i would have done it.i know quite well its a forum where we can help each other and i was trying to do that only.
