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.

The table shows dates and appearance of index fossils. which rock layers can be dated most precisely? a) a layer containing both a fossil 4 and a fossil 3 b) a layer containing both a fossil 2 and a fossil 3 c) a layer containing both a fossil 1 and a fossil 4 d) a layer containing both a fossil 1 and a fossil 2

The intervention of extraterrestrials has been used to explain the bermuda triangle, a region of the atlantic ocean where ships and planes are frequently lost, leaving no evidence behind. how would this explanation best be characterized?
