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?

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

Which of the following statements about an animal bearing a somatic mutation is TRUE?

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?
