Scientists discover that colder climates, areas averaging 0 to 15°C, trigger a "bleaching effect" on the epistatic gene E/e. This gene works in conjunction with the fur color gene B/b in Labrador retrievers. In more temperate climates, the (B) black fur gene dominates the (b) brown fur gene so that only the (bb) genotype produces brown Labs. In contrast, the E/e gene, which determines how much pigment gets deposited on the fur, is altered chemically by sustained cold weather. Normally, the dominant expression of this pigment gene (EE or Ee) allows the black or brown pigment to adhere to the fur. In warm climates, the recessive allele combination, (ee), alters pigmentation to produce only yellow Labs. The bleaching effects that colder climate has on pigmentation expression may be expressed as: (EE) no effect on pigmentation; black or brown fur depends on the fur coat genotype. (Ee) slight bleaching on pigmentation. Black fur changes to roan (reddish-brown) fur, and brown fur becomes gray. (ee) total bleaching effect on pigmentation; yellow fur now appears white. Mr. Johnson has an entire breeding stock of heterozygous black Labs (BbEe). He wants to breed his animals in a location that can take advantage of this environmental change on the new coat colors produced. If Mr. Johnson moves to Alaska, what color of Labrador retriever can he expect to produce the least of in his first generation of offspring?

One function of the poly-a tail on eukaryotic mrna sequences is to the mrna be transported from the nucleus to the cytoplasm. prokaryotic mrna also has a poly-a tail. choose the best explanation of the prokaryotic poly-a tail. a. prokaryotic poly-a tails are composed of a different molecular structure compared with eukaryotic poly-a tails. b. prokaryotic poly-a tails have the same functions as eukaryotic poly-a tails, because this process is highly conserved throughout different species. c. prokaryotic poly-a tails aren't important, because prokaryotes don't have nuclei. d. prokaryotic poly-a tails have other functions,because prokaryotes don't have nuclei.

Npiranha, fish with large teeth represent the dominant trait. because the dominant trait masks the recessive trait, in a population of 1,000 piranhas, all with large teeth, we could expect about the next generation of fish to have small teeth.
