Identify the genotypes of the parents and explain how the offspring could produce different-colored fruits than the parents.

Write a paragraph explaining why the effect of mutations can vary widely - from neutral to harmful to beneficial

Match each description to the appropriate biome. tropical savanna desert tropical rain forest taiga tundra has sparse vegetation and very cold temperatures located near the equator and contains trees that form dense canopy layers is very hot and dry, and has plants that need little water has cold winters, heavy snowfall and is dominated by conifers has warm temperatures and is dominated by grasses

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning.
