CFTR is present in many other types of epithelial cells, including in the lung and in the pancreas. Cholera does not typically affect these tissues, since infection occurs in the gut, and cholera toxin does not move into the bloodstream. However, some people have a mutation in CFTR that decreases its activity, and thus reduces the release of chloride ions from the cytosol of epithelial cells into the lumen of these organs. Which of the following are the most likely consequences of such CFTR mutations? a. no change in fluid secretion from the tissues where CFTR is expressed
b. decreased fluid secretion from the tissues where CFTR is expressed
c. increased fluid secretion from the tissues where CFTR is expressed
d. no change in susceptibility to cholera infection
e. decreased susceptibility to cholera infection
f. increased susceptibility to cholera infection

Two true-breeding pea plants were crossed. one parent is round, terminal, violet, constricted, while the other expresses the respective contrasting phenotypes of wrinkled, axial, white, full. the four pairs of contrasting traits are controlled by four genes, each located on a separate chromosome. in the f1 only round, axial, violet, and full were expressed. in the f2, all possible combinations of these traits were expressed in ratios consistent with mendelian inheritance. (a) what conclusion about the inheritance of the traits can be drawn based on the f1 results? (b) in the f2 results, which phenotype appeared most frequently? what mathematical expression predicts the probability of occurrence of this phenotype? (c) which f2 phenotype is expected to occur least frequently? what mathematical expression predicts this probability? (d) in the f2 generation, how often is either of the p1 phenotypes likely to occur? express your answer as a fraction (example: 3/16).

Be in this im starting a with you so if you want you can get a partner for this. but basically im going to assign you guys a biome and you have to have a big sheet paper and you will turn it into 4 squares. the top right square is will be a drawing square for a drawing you will make of your biome. the top left square is about the biomes plants and drawings of them. the bottom left square is about the biomes animals. the bottem rights square is about the description of the biome. leave a comment or an answer and i will assign biomes. if your request one thats the one you get. send me a link to the project and i will grade ! im not a teacher btw.
