6. What makes plastic bottles a big concern in oceans but not other materials such as metals, wood or paper materials? 3 points
Bottle caps are light weight and MORE dense than water, so they float.
Water bottles are made of PET plastic, which is LESS dense than the ocean water so they sink to the bottom.

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning.

Kudzu vines grow by climbing and wrapping around trees. trees covered by kudzu can die because they are starved of sunlight. what type of relationship exists between the trees and the kudzu growing on them?

Achemical that is released by an animal as a signal to other members of the same species is called a pheromone. t or f
