Use this information for the next four questions: Pea plants with the genotype RrYy are crossed with others that have the genotype Rryy. The resulting phenotypes were observed in 32 offspring: 20 round (R) and yellow (Y), 6 round and green (y), 1 wrinkled (r) and yellow, and 5 wrinkled and green.

Use the following information for the next six questions. In normal cells there is little production of a protein known as XL-5. However, infection of cells with the RWV virus causes them to produce high levels of XL-5. It is already known that the lipids in the RWV virus stimulate production of XL-5 in the infected cell, yet it is not yet known whether either of the other two types of viral molecules (protein and DNA) also induce cells to produce high levels of XL-5. To address that question, the scientists conducted the following experiment: they purified DNA, lipid, and protein from the virus and injected each individually into normal cells as described below.  Following the indicated treatments, cells were broken open and the level of protein XL-5 (ug/ul) was measured. The data represent the mean value ± the standard deviation from 9 samples each. Group Condition XL-5 produced (ug/ul) 1 Cells injected with the viral DNA 25 ± 24 2 Cells injected with the viral lipids 36 ± 18 3 Cells injected with the viral proteins 12 ± 12 4 Cells only (uninfected) 7 ± 15
