Female mosquitoes need a meal of blood from a person or other animal in order to
produce eggs. it has been discovered that mosquitoes have cells on their antennae that can
detect the insect repellent known as deet. the repellent is not harmful to mosquitoes, but
when mosquitoes detect deet, they will not land on the surface where the deet has
been applied. this protects people from being bitten by mosquitoes.
recently, scientists found some mosquitoes that are resistant to deet because they do
not detect its presence. they bred these mosquitoes and eventually produced a population
consisting of about 50% deet-resistant insects.

mosquitoes with deet resistance have been found in natural environments. explain how the continued
use of this repellent may cause the percentage of these resistant mosquitoes to increase in the future.

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.
