Patients with a genetic condition known as cystic fibrosis struggle with symptoms such as lung and digestive problems. At the cellular level, the cells of patients with the disease do not transport water or other materials out of the cell efficiently. Therefore, patients’ cells have a build up of water and other substances inside the cell. Which of the following best describes how cystic fibrosis impacts cells?

Does mitochondria still meet the definition of a eukaryote why or why not?

Biomass can be used to generate electricity. biomass relies heavily on agricultural crops. plants release carbon dioxide and water in combustion. plants use photosynthesis to originally generate the energy that is needed. the chemical energy of these plants all started with what energy source?

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.
