What does the phrase "water loss control" mean? Read the excerpt from "Water Efficiency Strategies."
Water Loss Control—National studies indicate that, on
average, 14 percent of the water treated by water systems is lost
to leaks. Some water systems have reported water losses
exceeding 60 percent. Accounting for water and minimizing
water loss are critical functions for any water utility that wants to
be sustainable
o preventing water from being wasted due to leaks
O limiting the number of household sinks and toilets
O limiting use of dishwashers and washing machines
O preventing pipes from rusting and growing mold

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.
