2. How many days is gestation for a mouse (time from conception to birth)?

Explanation

The gestation period for a mouse, which is the time from conception to birth, is 19 days. This means that it takes approximately 19 days for a pregnant mouse to give birth to its offspring.

Submit
3. Which of the following is NOT a developmental age used in this project (hint: E stands for embryonic day, and P stands for postnatal)?

Explanation

The correct answer is E0 because in the hint, it is stated that E stands for embryonic day and P stands for postnatal. Therefore, E0 represents the embryonic stage and is not a developmental age used in this project.

Submit
4. Which of the following is NOT the name of a tecan robot in production?

Explanation

The question asks for the name that is NOT a tecan robot in production. Emu and Toucan could potentially be the names of tecan robots, but Aardvark is not. Therefore, Aardvark is the correct answer as it is not the name of a tecan robot in production.

Submit
5. <!--[endif]-->What is the project code?

Explanation

The project code is 350 because it is the only option provided that matches the given question.

Submit
6. Which of the following is a control gene for Developing Mouse?

Explanation

Calb2 is a control gene for Developing Mouse.

Submit
7. What naturally occurring mutation was frequently observed in this project?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Extra sulcus in the cortex." In this project, researchers frequently observed a naturally occurring mutation that resulted in the presence of an additional sulcus in the cortex. A sulcus is a groove or indentation in the brain, and the presence of an extra one suggests a deviation from the normal brain structure. This mutation could have potential implications for understanding brain development and function.

Submit
8. What color were the slides for the developing mouse brain atlas?

Explanation

The slides for the developing mouse brain atlas were lilac in color.

Submit
9. Who stained the most cresyl violet/nissl slides?

Explanation

Anita Carey stained the most cresyl violet/nissl slides.

Submit
10. What age tissue is this scary face from?
(Can you see the face? a. yes, b. no, c, not without my glasses).

Explanation

Submit
11. <!--[endif]-->How long does it take to scan an E11.5 slide on the Aperio?

Explanation

The correct answer is 6 minutes. This suggests that it takes approximately 6 minutes to scan an E11.5 slide on the Aperio.

Submit
12. <!--[endif]-->Which of the following is NOT an anagram of a piece of equipment in the basement?

Explanation

The given question asks for the option that is NOT an anagram of a piece of equipment in the basement. By rearranging the letters of "Cosmic Rope", we can form the word "Microwave", which is a piece of equipment that could be found in the basement. Similarly, by rearranging the letters of "Soapier", we can form the word "Air compressor", which is also a piece of equipment that could be found in the basement. However, when we rearrange the letters of "Jars All Neon", we cannot form the name of any equipment. Therefore, "Jars All Neon" is NOT an anagram of a piece of equipment in the basement.

Submit
13. Which of the following is NOT the name of a feature released for the developing mouse atlas in March 2010?

Explanation

The correct answer is "3D Brain Spinner 2" because it is not the name of a feature released for the developing mouse atlas in March 2010. The other two options, "Developmental AGEA" and "Neuroblast," could potentially be features that were released during that time.

Submit
14. We did ISH for genes beginning with 25 different letters of the alphabet (Aanat, Bach1, Cnr1…) For what letter of the alphabet have NOT genes been run?

Explanation

The answer "Y not?" suggests that genes starting with the letter Y have not been run in the ISH experiment. This is inferred from the statement that ISH was done for genes beginning with 25 different letters of the alphabet, and the options C and Q are not mentioned in the question. Therefore, the only logical conclusion is that genes starting with the letter Y have not been run.

Submit
15. <!--[endif]-->How many people from the IT team were involved with the DevAtlas (out of 15)?

Explanation

The question asks how many people from the IT team were involved with the DevAtlas project. The answer "Everyone" indicates that all 15 people from the IT team were involved with the project.

Submit
16. Which of these personal protective equipment (PPE) does one have to wear in addition to safety glasses, gloves, and a lab coat to do HP yellow staining (hint: this uses A LOT of hydrochloric acid)?

Explanation

To safely perform HP yellow staining, which involves the use of a significant amount of hydrochloric acid, one must wear additional personal protective equipment (PPE) such as a big leather apron, rubber sleeves up to the elbow, and a space-age face shield. These additional items provide extra protection for the body and face from potential splashes or spills of the corrosive acid, ensuring the safety of the individual performing the staining procedure.

Submit
17. <!--[if !supportLists]-->1.    <!--[endif]-->How many image series are in the DevMouse Atlas versus the Adult Mouse Atlas?

Explanation

The DevMouse Atlas has 20,400 image series, while the Adult Mouse Atlas has 26,250 image series.

Submit
18. <!--[endif]-->What day of the week is the developing mouse brain website viewed most often?

Explanation

The correct answer is "Manic Monday" because it is the day of the week when the developing mouse brain website is viewed most often. This suggests that people are more likely to visit the website and engage with its content on Mondays. It could be because Mondays are typically the start of the work or school week, and people may be more interested in accessing scientific resources and information at the beginning of the week.

Submit
19. If you consider that the average full-time person works 1880 hrs/year after discounting vacation, holiday, and sick time, how many hours were billed to the developing mouse brain atlas project in 2009?

Explanation

The correct answer is 48,500 hours because it is the only option that is less than the average full-time work hours in a year (1880 hours). This suggests that the hours billed to the developing mouse brain atlas project in 2009 were less than a full-time workload for the entire year.

Submit
20. How many terabytes of data did we generate for this project (hint: the ABA a.k.a. Allen Mouse Brain Atlas was 400-500 TB)?

Explanation

The correct answer is 285 terabytes. This is based on the hint provided, which states that the Allen Mouse Brain Atlas generated 400-500 TB of data. Since the given answer is lower than this range, it is the most reasonable choice.

Submit
21. The number of unique visitors to the DevAtlas is about 2000 per month (compared to >10,000 for the ABA).  The average amount of data downloaded for the ABA is about 100gb (excluding the API traffic).  What is the average traffic bandwidth  for the devmouse in the past two months? 

Explanation

The correct answer is 93 GB (Equivalent to ABA). This is because the question states that the average amount of data downloaded for the ABA is about 100 GB, and the traffic bandwidth for the devmouse is asked in relation to the ABA. Since the answer option "93 GB" is stated as equivalent to the ABA, it suggests that the average traffic bandwidth for the devmouse is the same as the ABA, which is 100 GB.

Submit
22. <!--[endif]-->What is the average number of mouse clicks that a member of the Annotation QC team (A.H.) makes in a year?

Explanation

The correct answer is 1,629,635, "One too many!" This suggests that the average number of mouse clicks made by a member of the Annotation QC team (A.H.) in a year is 1,629,635, which is considered to be one click more than necessary or excessive.
