Three unlinked genetic loci, each with two alleles, determine the differences in sugar content (and therefore sweetness) in a diploid fruit. These genes contribute equally to sugar content, and their effects are additive. The least sweet variety (aabbcc) and the sweetest (AABBCC) are bred to produce an F1 generation. All the F1 plants produce fruits of intermediate sugar content. Phenotypes are listed below:
Plants Sugar content value, relative to sweetest plant
aabbcc 40%
AABBCC 100%
F1 70%
The fruit breeder's goal is to sample a variety of sugar contents. She breeds F1 plants with one another to produce F2 progeny. For each sugar content listed below, what is the probability that an F2 plant will produce fruit with that sugar content?
a. 70%.
b. 50%.
C. 80%.
d. 100%.

Imagine a self-reactive t cell that has not undergone clonal deletion in the thymus (that is to say, it has escaped central tolerance). if it encounters self antigen in the absence of an infection or inflammation, what will happen to this self-reactive t cell? (select two answers) (a) the t cell undergoes clonal expansion. (b) the t cell gains effector functions. (c) the t cell undergoes apoptosis. (d) the t cell becomes activated. (e) the t cell becomes anergic.

Suppose a point mutation, such as a change from an adenine to a guanine, occurs in the genome of a human sperm cell. the mutation could occur in any region of a gene. the effect of the mutation on the phenotype of the offspring will be determined by where the mutation occurs and its effect on the final gene product. in which of the following scenarios could the mutation alter the phenotype of the offspring? select all of the scenarios that apply the mutation occurs in the promoter and affects the rate of gene transcription. the mutation results in a new, dominant allele the mutation occurs in a portion of an intron not responsible for exon splicing the mutation occurs in a gene that controls development and alters differentiation of a cell type during development. the mutation occurs in a codon and alters the function of the final protein e mutation occurs in a codon, and the amino acid sequence of the final protein is unchanged.
