Translation does not always follow the linear model. Messenger RNAs can host multiple open-reading frames when several start codons are detected in the gene by the ribosomes. If the ribosome encounters a stop codon while translating, it can stop translating while not disengaging the amino-acid string. A new start codon can then restart translation. The gene for the protein RAD52 has multiple start codons within the gene. Which of the following would be predicted based on this gene?
a. The protein would exist in multiple forms with different lengths.
b. The mRNA for the protein could not be transcribed into a tRNA molecule.
c. The frame would be altered, causing different proteins to be created from the same tRNA.
d. The gene will also have multiple stop codons placed at similar spacing to the start codons.

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.

Read the scenario below and answer the question that follows. hallie is reading a novel in the library when susan, her best friend, slumps down in a chair next to her. susan doesn't say anything, but hallie knows that susan is upset because she is slumping in her seat and rolling her eyes. a psychologist would explain that hallie is interpreting her friend's emotion based on a. the behavioral component of emotion b. her friend's ability to regulate emotion c. the verbal component of emotion d. the physiological component of emotion select the best answer from the choices provided a b c d

Atest cross can be used to -predict the phenotypes of a monohybrid cross -predict an unknown genotype of a purebred dominant plant -cross-breed dominant and recessive plants -give probabilities that a trait will appear
