Treponema pallidum:
a. belongs to the actinobacteria
b. is the causative agent of syphilis
c. is found primarily in rabbits and other lagomorphs, whence humans acquire it
d. is a gram-negative coccus

Dominance the dominant allele doesn’t fully mask or hide the recessive. for example, a red carnation with a white carnation will produce a carnation. one gene one trait. well most of the time than one gene controls a trait. we are all different but genetically speaking we are % similar with regards to genetic makeup.

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.
