You're the manager of a factory that produces enzyme-washed blue jeans (the enzymes lighten the color of the denim, giving a "faded" appearance). when the most recent batch of fabric came out of the enzyme wash, however, the color wasn't light enough to meet your standards. your quality control laboratory wants to do some tests to determine why the wash enzymes didn't perform as expected.

What evidence did mendel find that supported his law of independent assortment? a. dominant traits are expressed when there is a dominant allele. b. traits do not affect the inheritance of other traits. c. some traits have three or four different alleles. d. plants and animals can both reproduce sexually.

Approximately 90% of all cases of polycystic kidney disease are inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. the disease is typically related to mutations to genes (pkd1 and pkd2). pkd genes can be found on chromosome 16. the disease occurs in approximately 1: 800 to 1: 1000 people. here is a hypothetical example. the dominant allele d will cause the development of pkd. the recessive allele is known as d. what genotypes would correspond to suffering from pkd? dd, dd what genotypes would correspond to being normal (not suffering from pkd)? dd consider that 1: 1,000 people have pkd in your population of 325million. consider that pkd is inherited in an autosomal dominant fashion. show you math for all of the following questions: what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is the genotypic frequency for dd? what is p? what is q? how many people in your population would have pkd?

Which statement describes an endocrine function rather than an exocrine function? a. salivary glands release saliva into the mouth. b. sweat glands release sweat onto the skin c. the pineal gland releases melatonin into the blood. d. esophageal glands release mucus into the esophagus.
