Some areas of a forest contain rich soil, while in other areas the soil is poor. plants of a certain species grow taller in the rich soil than in the poor soil. the taller plants receive more sunlight and are able to produce more offspring than the shorter plants. if these offspring grow in rich soil, they are tall, but if they grow in poor soil, they are short. which of the following statements best explains why this situation is not an example of evolution by natural selection? a the observed differences in plant height are not due to genetics. b the differences in soil conditions do not affect all plants equally. c the short plants and tall plants are not isolated enough from each other. d the short plants are not accumulating gene mutations as quickly as the tall plants.

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.

Cold case files recently began re-investigating an old murder case. the murder took place in the park; a young man, james, was hit over the head with a brick and killed. police suspected the jealous former boyfriend of james' wife, karen. whoever killed james may have washed their hands in a near-by bird bath as detectives found blood in the bird bath. since the murder took place before dna fingerprinting was available, the suspected killer, ronnie, went free. detectives are now reviewing the blood evidence using dna fingerprinting. based on the dna fingerprints of all possible suspects, who is james' killer?
