You have two purified samples of protein Y: the wild-type (nonmutated) protein and a mutant version. When washed through the same gel-filtration chromatography column, mutant protein Y runs through the column more slowly than the normal protein. Which of the following changes in the mutant protein is most likely to explain this result? a) the loss of a binding site on the mutant protein surface through which the protein Y normally forms dimers.
b) a change that results in the mutant protein's acquiring an overall positive instead of a negative charge.
c) a change that results in the mutant protein's being larger than the wild-type protein.
d) a change that results in the mutant protein's having a slightly different shape from the wild-type protein.

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses.cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown.cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan.cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan.select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes.a) both genes are x-linked.b) both genes are autosomal.c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene.d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color.e) each gene independently specifies three colors.f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.
