In guinea pigs, fur length is controlled by one gene. the f allele generates long fur and the f allele generates short fur. because only one f copy is needed to show the trait, if a guinea pig has the ff or ff allele combination, they will have long fur. if they have the ff allele combination, they will have short fur. look at the data for a guinea pig population to answer the following questions. guinea pig 1: long fur (ff) guinea pig 2: short fur (ff) guinea pig 3: long fur (ff) guinea pig 4: long fur (ff) the sum of the genetic traits in this population is called its

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.

If assuming tasting ptc as a simple gene trait,what other genotype would you select to put in this missing genotype box that could result in this phenotype
