DNA molecules are extraordinarily long-an adult human has about six feet of DNA inside every single cell! Since all the genes are not
making proteins all the time, DNA condenses in order to protect itself.
Each DNA molecule wraps around proteins to form a structure called a
chromatin. In non-dividing cells, the DNA will stay in chromatin form.
When the cell is ready to divide, the chromatin will wrap around more
protein molecules to form rod-shaped structures called chromosomes.
While we call each molecule of DNA a chromosome, remember that
true chromosomes only form before cell division . Chromosomes come
in many sizes. In humans, chromosome 1 carries about 3,000 genes,
while chromosome 21 only carries about 300!

Arafura file snakes are large, aquatic, non-venomous snakes found in the flood-plains of australian rivers. they feed only on fish found in the rivers. it has been observed that heavy rainfall in the wet season in one year leads to prolonged inundation of the floodplains lasting a year or longer. it has also been observed that these snakes remain in good physical condition after a flood. explain how the file snake population in a region is likely to be affected by the prolonged inundation of a flood-plain.

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.
