Why is it difficult to know the impacts of deep sea mining? a. it has never been tried successfully, so we don’t know exactly how it can be done. b. it is only done in environmentally sensitive areas where the organisms are being harmed in many ways already, and it is difficult to know the effects of mining. c. we know relatively little about deep sea ecosystems, making it harder to assess the impact of mining. d. most countries have laws against it so the impacts have not been tested.

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.
