Examine the flow chart above depicting the job of a gene known as p53. It plays an important role during the G2 checkpoint of cell cycle regulation. In 4-6 sentences, explain why p53 is often called “The Guardian of the Genome”. Is p53 an oncogene (a gene that stimulates the growth of cancer cells) or a tumor suppressor gene (a gene that turns off the growth of cancer cells)? Explain your reasoning.

Humans are believed to have evolved in coastal regions in east africa. the region had an abundant supply of fish for early humanoids to eat. when scientists analyze the fads gene they see an interesting pattern. people whose families have lived in this area of east africa for generation show a high level of diversity in alleles for the fads gene. conversely, people whose families had migrated inland a moderate distance from sources of fish showed a much lower diversity for fads gene alleles. additionally, the fads alleles found in people whose family has lived inland for generation are almost all gene alleles which produce fads proteins with a high level of function and activity. how do anthropologists explain this?

Suppose you have monohybrid pea plants in your garden and find that they produce round seed to wrinkled seeds in the ratio of 3: 1. if the allele are designated (r & r) receptively. what is the probable genotypes of the round seeds which produced f 1 ? rr & rr rr only rr & rr rr only rr only
