Scientists are conducting a study on the effectiveness of a new drug on memory loss. they are giving some of the test subjects the new drug to find out if it improves their long-term memory. which are possible limitations of this study? check all that apply. a) test subjects may want to participate in additional experiments. b) test subjects may think they should be paid more. c) test subjects may get bored and want to quit early. d) test subjects may have to travel during the experiment. e) test subjects may have full-time jobs. this is multiple choice. you for the !

Transposon can cause mutations in genes at or near the site of transposon insertion. it is possible for these elements to transpose away from their original site, causing a reversion of the mutant phenotype. in some cases, however, even more severe phenotypes appear when these elements excise from this site, due to events at or near the mutant allele. what might be happening to the transposon or the nearby gene to create more severe mutations?
