A mutation is considered a change in:

The following statements about CRISPRCas technology are true EXCEPT

In an experimental population of Tribolium(flour beetles), the body length shows a continuous distribution with a mean of 6mm. A group of males and females with body lengths of 9 mm are interbred. The body lengths of their offspring average 8.1 mm. If they select individuals of 12 mm to interbreed, which will be the average length of their offspring?

A  strain of grain has variation in oil content . Diploid grain oil content is influenced by four genes (A or a through D or d) with two additive alleles each. Each of the genes contributes equally. The highest-producing strain has 24% oil content; the lowest has 0%. Which of the following genotypes would have on average 9% oil content?

Consider a gene in mice that is maternally imprinted. What would be the phenotype of the offspring for the trait encoded by this gene?

A tautomeric base can cause a mutation because:

What characteristics of DNA allows methylation patterns to be inherited (select all that apply)? Only select the ones that you are sure of, as canvas takes off points for selecting an incorrect option.

After how many cell replication events will a mutation be present in both strands of DNA (replicated mutation)?

In an experimental population of Tribolium  (flour beetles), the body length shows a continuous distribution with a mean of 10mm. A group of males and females with body lengths of 6 mm are interbred. The body lengths of their offspring average 7.3 mm. If they select individuals of 14 mm to interbreed, which will be the average length of their offspring?

Which type of gene should code for more than one molecule?
