Agroup of geologists is about to start excavating a new area for fossils. the area
they are working in is the side of a cliff. describe two pieces of information they will
most likely be able to discover about the fossils they will find.

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. (2 points)

An example of internal feedback working to maintain homeostasis is your a. decreased respiration rate when you are studying b. decreased heart rate when you are sad c. increased respiration rate when your muscles need more oxygen d. increased heart rate when your lungs need more oxygen
