Wild type blue-eyed Mary has blue flowers. Two genes control the pathway that makes the blue pigment: The product of gene W turns a white precursor into magenta pigment. The product of gene M turns the magenta pigment into blue pigment. Each gene has a recessive loss-of-function allele: w and m, respectively. A double heterozygote is self-pollinated. What proportion of offspring will be white?

The biological species concept defines a species as

What is the proper sign to be posted on the entry door to an area where radioactive materials are present (measured exposure rate less than 5 mrem/hr at 30 cm)? This is the sign you would find on most nuclear medicine departments.

Which of the following collimators “minifies” the image so that an organ or tissue that is too large for the camera can be seen with a minimal number of views?

In a mystical bird species, birds with the dominant allele C are white, whereas birds homozygous for the recessive allele c are colored. This species also have a second locus that acts as a modifier gene if the bird is colored. If birds are colored and are G- at the second locus, they will be yellow. If they are colored and gg at the second locus, they will be green. You cross a double heterozygous bird and a double homozygous recessive (CcGg  x ccgg). What percentage of the offspring will be white, and what percentage will be yellow?
