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?

Which will be the direct repeats in the 5′-3′ strand caused by the following transposable element insertion (green arrow) which transposase cuts staggered 3 base pairs upstream?

Dnmt3 codes for a methyltransferase in bees. Worker bees are the result of inhibition of expression of genes related to size and reproduction. If there is no inhibition, a queen develops. Males result from haploid eggs. What do you expect would develop if you injected Dnmt3 siRNA into honeybee larvae?
