You identify a proflavin-generated allele of a gene that produces a 110-amino acid polypeptide rather than the usual 157- amino acid protein. after subjecting this mutant allele to extensive proflavin mutagenesis, you are able to find a number of intragenic suppressors located in the part of the gene between the sequences encoding the n-terminus of the protein and the original mutation but no suppressors located in the region between the original mutation and the sequences encoding the usual c-terminus of the protein. why do you think this is the case?

How are the tortoises that darwin observed on the galápagos islands similar to the anoles that losos studied

The collared lizard is a species found in the desert southwest. male collared lizards show considerable color variation, ranging from brightly colored to a very dull pattern. your goal is to determine the function, if any, of male color patterns in collared lizards, using the scientific method. your tentative explanation is that male color plays a role in attracting females for mating purposes. you predict that females will preferentially choose brightly colored males over dull-colored ones. to test this prediction, you observed the interactions of female collared lizards with their male counterparts. you selected males that were the same age and size, and that differed only in their coloration pattern. you placed equal numbers of the two types of male lizards, bright and dull, in aquariums, along with one female lizard per aquarium. out of 350 aquariums observed, the female chose to mate with the brightly colored male 277 times, and the dull-colored male 70 times. in 3 instances, the females did not mate with either type. create a bar graph of your data, plotting the type of male (dull or brightly colored) on the x-axis. on the y-axis, plot the frequency with which each type of male was chosen by females. using this graph, answer the following question(s). is it reasonable to conclude (i. e., is it supported by the data) that female collared lizards prefer more brightly colored male lizards over dull-colored males?
