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.

Which statement about the pancreas is not true? a. it is an endocrine organ in the abdomen. b. it release chemicals into the digestive system. c. it releases insulin to increase glucose levels. d. it release hormones into the bloodstream.

Directions: read the descriptions of the four islands presented in the lesson. 1. list two new traits that each new species of rat might demonstrate as it adapts to the conditions on each island. 2. introduce one of the four new rat species to another island and describe one challenge it would encounter and one success as it adapts to its new environment.
