Leigh syndrome is a severe neurological disorder that is typically maternally inherited. The condition is caused by point mutations in mitochondrial genes involved in oxidative phosphorylation, such as a mutation that changes an arginine (Arg) to a glycine (Gly). Which term(s) correctly describe this mutation causing Leigh syndrome? Missense Mitochondrial Incompletely penetrant Nonsense ✔ Sex-linked Expanding nucleotide repeat

Example 2.22: A young boy asks his mother to get 5 Game-BoyTM cartridges from his collection of 10 arcade and 5 sports games. How many ways are there that his mother can get 3 arcade and 2 sports games? Solution: The number of ways of selecting 3 cartridges from 10 is $\binom{10}{3} = \frac{10!}{3!(10-3)!} = 120$. The number of ways of selecting 2 cartridges from 5 is $\binom{5}{2} = \frac{5!}{2!3!} = 10$. Exercises 51 Using the multiplication rule (Rule 2.1) with $n_1 = 120$ and $n_2 = 10$, we have $(120)(10) = 1200$ ways.

Microeconomics Question 5: Some time ago, a measles outbreak began at Disneyland in Los Angeles. The outbreak is believed to be caused by an increasing number of parents in California who choose not to vaccinate their children. The vaccine is provided freely to children in the United States, but some parents worry that the vaccine might cause autism. Their worry originates from a research article published in a leading medical journal in 1998, but that article was later shown to be fraudulent. Suppose there is a small, isolated island with a population of 3000 people who are considering whether to take a vaccine. There is a small cost of taking the vaccine (for example, due to the hassle of taking it and misplaced worries about autism). The benefit of taking the vaccine is that you will not get the disease. The risk of getting the disease if you have not taken the vaccine is decreasing in the number of people taking the vaccine. Let's assume that the cost of taking the vaccine is 5 utils, the suffering if you get the disease is 1000000 utils, and the probability of getting measles is p = 1/100n, where n is the number of vaccinated people. Let us also assume that you are fully protected against measles if you take the vaccine. (A) (5 POINTS) Draw a diagram showing the payoff of not taking the vaccine when n other people are taking the vaccine. Use the same diagram to also show the payoff from taking the vaccine. It is sufficient to draw the diagram for n = 500, 1000, 1500, and so on up to 3000. (B) (5 POINTS) How many will take the vaccine in Nash equilibrium? (C) (5 POINTS) What is the total payoff for the whole population if instead 2500 people take the vaccine? Is this higher or lower than your answer to (B), and why is it so?
