Each cell expresses, or turns on, only a fraction of its genes. The rest of the genes are repressed, or turned off. The process of turning genes on and off is known as gene regulation. Gene regulation can occur at any point during gene expression, but most commonly occurs at the level of , when the information in a gene’s DNA is transferred to mRNA.

6. in domesticated cats, the following are independently assorting: normal ears (t) is dominant to tufted ears (t); curved whiskers (c) is dominant to straight whiskers (c); the presence of six toes (s) is dominant to five toes (s); gene for hair length is an x-linked codominant. the three phenotypes for hair length are long (xhxh), medium (xhxh), and short (xhxh); medium is the heterozygous condition. given two parents: ttccssxhxh x ttccssxhy how many different gametes could be formed in the female cat with respect to these four traits? how many phenotypes are possible in the offspring from this mating?

In many humans, exposing the skin to sunlight over prolonged periods of time results in the production of more pigment by the skin cells (tanning). this change in skin color provides evidence that -
