4. In the Yucca plant, flower color is determined by a system of incomplete dominance. The genotype BB gives blue flowers, Bb gives lilac flowers, and bb gives white flowers. In a population of yucca plants, 8 had blue flowers, 84 had lilac flowers, and 52 had white flowers. a. What is the frequency of the B allele in this
I need help with this question. I just need some steps in figuring it out Im totally lost Recall that mRNA has one start codon and three codons. based on what you know about process of gene expression, hypothesize why it would be benefecial to have only one start codon but three stop codons in this process.
Given the assigned sequence of RNA, write down its three reading frames and identify the open reading frame (ORF) A U G G G A U U A U C C A U A C G G C C A C C U U G A Please see the attached file. Please give clear complete explanations!
In corn, the following recessive genes have been identified on chromosome 3: yg = yellow green seedlings wx = waxy endosperm bz = bronze color From a three point testcross between plants heterozygous for all three genes and plants homozygous recessive for all three genes, the following data
PROTEIN EXPRESSION Underlying molecular principles: Explain the genetic components of the lac operon regulating the IPTG-inducible expression of T7 RNA polymerase in the TrcHisB/T7 and DH5 system Hands-On Skills: - Inoculate and grow a transformant DH5 cell line - Assess the cell growth phase by absorbance at 600nm - I
Hi again. I am attaching a document that provides details on a lab to be done dealing with DNA sequencing. I am looking for assistance in two areas of this lab: 1) p. 67 - questions 1, 2 and 3 These questions ask: 1. how do you predict the DNA bands produced after digesting a recombinant plasmid. How do you know what size
In life span development one of the major develpment issues is nature-nurture. What is this issue and why is it important to the study of human life span development?
______ would prevent interbreeding between two species of fish living in the same habitat. a. sympatric isolating mechanisms b. equilibrium isolating mechanisms c. reproductive isolating mechanisms d. allopatric isolating mechanisms e. preadaptive isolating mechanisms
The presence of two or more different alleles in a population for a given locus is termed: a. heterozygosity b. genetic polymorphism c. polygenic stasis d. a gene pool e. frequency-independent selection
The migration of breeding individuals between populations causes a corresponding movement of alleles, which is referred to as: a. genetic drift b. directional selection c. natural selection d. gene flow e. mutation
I need to understand the answer to the following multiple choice question. Which of the following causes changes in allele frequencies? a. genetic drift b. mutation c. natural selection d. gene flow from migration e. all of these
In order to meet the conditions of the Hardy-Weinberg predictions, a population must: a. mutate very quickly b. have a high rate of natural selection c. have a large number of immigrants d. have extensive mating rituals e. be very large
The Hardy Weinberg principle of genetic equilibrium tells us what to expect when a sexually reproducing population is: a. at genetic equilibirium b. growing c. migrating d. evolving e. mutatiing
The Hardy-Weinberg principle is useful because: a. it explains the existence of variation in populations b. it proves that Mendel was correct for populations c. it describes most populations d. it explains the existence of a large number of species e. it identifies those factors that can change allele or genotype fre
Why do you think another mistake doesn't just correct the mutation in an abnormal CF gene?
In human beings, the gene for red green colorblindness (r) is sex linked and recessive to its allele for normal vision (R), while the gene for freckles (F) is autosomal and dominant over its allele for nonfreckled (f). A nonfreckled, normal visioned woman whose father was freckled and colorblind, marries a freckled, colorblind
There is a controversy about whether genetics or environment is more important in the development of our personalities. How does genetics impact behavior?
Gene therapy is: a. replacing all mutant alleles in body cells b. replacing poor copies of alleles with normal alleles c. replacing a mutant allele in certain body cells with a normal allele d. repairing mutant alleles in certain body cells e. improving gene expression in key body cells
Tay-Sachs disease is a(n)_______ disease that results in blindness, mental retardation, and death due to ________. a. sex-linked; the absence of one of the sex chromosomes b. autosomal recessive; accumulation of lipids in brain cells c. X-linked; accumulation of lipase in cells of sweat glands d. autosomal; the inabili
This is the genetic problem that I need to understand how to complete. Sand lizards in white sands new mexico: If for each species a lizard that was homozygous for the dark Mc1r allele had been crossed with a lizard that was homozygous for the light Mc1r allele the resulting F1 generation would have obtained the percentag
Can you help me with the following: Try this exercise: Hold out your right hand, place fingers together, and compare the length of your index (first) finger and ring (third) finger. The hormone "testosterone" is linked with masculine traits. The amount of testosterone exposed to in the womb affects finger length. The hi
The full problem is attached as a Word document, containing figures and pictures. The problem concerns a dominant and a recessive gene in lizards that affect the skin color of the lizard. The frequency of these genes in two different habitats is presented, and answers are given to several questions relating to the reasons
A woman referred to as individual A marries a man, individual B. Both have normal color vision. They have 3 children. Child AB1 is a son with normal color vision. Child AB2 is also a son but he is red green colorblind. The third child, son AB3, is red green colorblind as well. AB1 son marries a woman, S, with normal vision.
Whether an allele is dominant or recessive depends on a. how common the allele is relative to other alleles b. whether it is inherited from the mother or father c. which chromosome it is on d. whether it or another allele is expressed when they are both present
Why are sex-linked diseases more common in men than in women? a. Men acquire two copies of the defective gene during fertilization b. Men who inherit only one copy of the harmful recessive gene will have the disease c. The sex chromosomes are more active in men than in women d. both B and C
