SHORT ANSWER QUESTION #4   Explain the following statement in a way I know you understand (as was discussed and emphasized in the class lecture video): The heritability factor for intelligence is 0.8. (1pt)  

SHORT ANSWER QUESTION #4   According to what was discussed in class, only, list and briefly describe the two ways by which protein is degraded via translational control of gene expression.  (2pts)   NOTE: When writing your response, note I am not looking for what Google or Chat GPT provides you as an answer to this short answer question. Only responses derived from material from the course textbook, course lecture videos, or course powerpoint will be accepted. 

You are told that both parent plants in the P generation of the diagram below are homozygous. With this in mind, choose the most likely reason 100% of the F1 generation shows the phenotype for yellow pea seed color.       

Two pea plants (AABB x aabb) were crossed, with the following F2 results:    Non-recombinant 228 AABB Recombinant: 17 AaBb   Recombinant: 26 aaBb Non-recombinant: 60 aabb   From the information provided in the F2 progeny, calculate the recombination frequency (round to next whole %).   

A recessive allele in cats causes orange spots. If two solid-colored cats are mated and produce an orange-spotted kitten, what is the % chance the next kitten would be solid-colored?   

Progeny that exhibit mixing of maternal and paternal alleles on a single chromosome are said to be non-recombinant.   

Given questions #1-10 above, select two statements you identified as “false” and re-write them to make them “true”. As you select a statement to re-write, be sure to write the original question number (Example: “I am re-writing question #7” or simply “#7”). If you do not properly reference your response as instructed, then no points shall be awarded.   When re-writing your false statements, keep each statement to one sentence. You should be able to modify a false statement to make it true by changing just a word or two. Changing a statement to simply include “not” or “don’t” (etc) is not properly re-writing a statement and shall not be accepted. Further, when re-writing your false statements, the modified true statements should pertain directly to course materials, only. Finally, if you re-write more than two statements, only the first two statements will be graded (even if an error is made in re-writing one of the first two statements and a later statement has been re-written properly).  

Penetrance is the percentage of individuals of a given genotype that express the trait coded for by that genotype.   

A cross between two individuals with different phenotypes resulting in ~ 50% of each type of offspring would indicate the cross was ___.   

The following recombination frequencies were found. Determine the order of these genes on the chromosome.   A-B = 40 A-C = 8 C-D = 18 C-B = 32 A-D = 26
