Ben, a 36-year-old patient with type i diabetes mellitus and kidney failure, comes to the hospital to have a special arteriovenous fistula placed in his arm to allow him to begin dialysis in a few weeks. the fistula was supposed to be placed on the left arm, but the surgical team accidentally operates on the opposite arm, not realizing until the procedure is finished. when ben wakes up from anesthesia, he sees a bandage on his right arm and is confused. what should happen right away? (a) the mistake should be communicated to ben and the hospital's administrators. (b) the mistake should be posted on a blog along with an explanation of the events. (c) the entire surgical team should be reprimanded, as it was not only the responsibility of the surgeon.

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.
