Cancer is an unqualified enemy of the living world costing both in emotional turmoil and in thousands of careers invested in diagnosis, treatment, and research. Cancer is a broad collection of molecular disease states characterized by cells that divide in an uncontrolled fashion and that no longer respect their role or confinement within their tissue of origin. Despite the many environmental, hereditary, viral, dietary, and chemical causes of cancer, they all have one common root cause: mutational changes in genes that control cell division. What is the scientific community doing to attempt to eliminate the most common forms of cancer that are ravaging society

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.
