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?

Using the following figure, what would likely happen to transcription if a certain consensus sequence within region A is deleted?

A tautomeric base can cause a mutation because:

Which of the following statements does NOT describe a challenge of working at the molecular level?

Flower diameter in sunflowers is a quantitative trait. Each upper case allele provides a fixed amount of cm additional in diameter. Each lower case provides a different fixed amount of cm additional in diameter. A plant with 8-cm flowers and aabb genotype is crossed to a plant with 16-cm flowers and a AABB. What is the probability of of getting a 12cm flower in F2?

A polypeptide has the following amino acid sequence: Met-Ala-Gln-Arg-Glu-Leu. This polypeptide was mutated to produce the following mutant sequence: Met-Ala. Which describes the MOST likely type of mutation that occurred?
