This was a small example to learn concepts, and it is much smaller than real genes. in a real gene, the exons average about 150 bases each and are almost always less than 400. introns can be highly variable in length but may be hundreds of bases. a small gene might have 4,500 bases and many exons and introns. remember that in this activity, each square was used to represent one base. one or two exons or introns might fill up a sheet of graph paper. how many pages would you need to represent a small gene of 4,500 bases? (figure out or count how many squares are on one sheet of graph paper. then figure out how many sheets would have 4,500 squares.)

Punnett squares are used to show possible combinations of alleles or to predict the probability of a trait occurring in offspring. an incomplete dominance cross is performed between a bird that is homozygous for red feathers and a bird that is homozygous for blue feathers. purple offspring result. then, two of the purple offspring are crossed. according to the punnett square for this cross, how many of the offspring from the second cross will have a feather color that results from incomplete dominance? 1 in 4 2 in 4 3 in 4 4 in 4

Choose the incorrect statement (a) the motor end plate membrane is only capable of generating graded potentials, but it is contiguous with the skeletal muscle sarcolemma, which can generate action potentials. (b) propagation of an action potential through the t-tubules into the sarcoplasmic reticulum triggers the release of ca++ into the cytoplasm of a skeletal muscle fiber. (c) the generation of suprathreshold endplate potentials in multiple muscle fibers could be due to the increased frequency of action potential generation at the axon hillock of a single motor neuron. (d) a greater amount of ach would be found in the presynaptic vesicles of a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to botulinum toxin, than in a motor unit that fired several action potentials after exposure to the venom of the krait snake (which contains α-bungarotoxin).
