Sickle cell anemia is known to run in a family. a pedigree chart for this family is shown below
what percentage of the offspring are carriers of the disease but do not have it ?

Suppose a scientist measures the amount of dna per cell of a particular diploid species at various stages of meiosis. she finds that the meiotic cells contain 3.7 pg , 7.3 pg , or 14.6 pg of dna. match each stage of the cell cycle to the corresponding amount of dna contained within a cell at that stage.

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.
