In nature, there is an exception to every rule. Of the species below, which one has a very unusual genome...

BIOL 133 Week 8 Chapter 12 Study Questions What statement describes X-linked traits? Select all that apply. Sickle cell anemia is a recessive trait. A cross between two heterozygotes would produce what phenotypic ratio? Marfan syndrome is a dominant trait. A cross between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote would produce what phenotypic ratio? If a cross for widow’s peak was conducted between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote, it is expected that all organisms of the offspring wil...

BIOL 133 Chapter 16-wk 12 Study Questions A gene is made up of three exons (numbered consecutively) with two introns (intron 1 between exons 1 and 2 and intron 2 between exons 2 and 3). What would happen if there were a mutation at the 3’ splice site of intron 1? _________ is the first protein to bind to mRNA to being the initiation of translation. In eukaryotes, where would a protective modification be found on mRNA? The portions of the mature mRNA where RNA-binding proteins can attach in or...

BIOL 133 Week 1 Chapter 1 Study Questions A decrease in blood water levels is detected in the brain. The brain sends signals to the pituitary gland to release hormones that communicate with the kidney to reabsorb water, which will increase blood water levels. This represents what life property? When a sperm uses chemical signals to navigate the swim towards the egg, it is a positive response. This is a form of When the brain, spinal cord, and nerves of the body communicate with each other, it r...

BIOL 133 Week 4 Chapter 6 Study Questions Researchers are working to develop biofuels to free us from dependence on fossil fuels. Based on what you know about cellulose, what do you predict are the major advantage and disadvantage of using cellulose-rich plant material as biofuel? What examples describe the second law of thermodynamics? Select all that apply. Neostigmine is a drug used to treat the disease myasthenia gravis. The drug binds to the active site of acetylcholinesterase preventing b...

BIOL 133 Week 16 Chapter 20 Study Questions When a gene is passed to bacteria of a different species that brings with it an important feature, the resulting bacteria would provide complications in determining ________. The only taxonomic name not capitalized is the ________. Evidence has been gathered over the years that indicate mitochondria and chloroplasts were once bacteria. This idea is termed What is the proper way of writing the scientific name for humans? The idea of maximum parsimony d...

BIOL 133 Week 15 Chapter 19 What is the only way to introduce a new allele into a species? In South America, there is a specific type of frog where the male uses a loud call in order to attract females, even though this makes him more likely to be found by a predator. This is an example of The accumulation of mutations in a population over generations leads to If alleles that cause disease are constantly being selected against, why would there be any disease-causing alleles in a population over...
