What is a promoter sequence?
a. dna sequence that increases the rate of transcription of a gene
b. region of dna that signals rna polymerase to release the newly synthesized mrna
c. region of dna that is the initial binding site of rna polymerase during transcription
d. dna sequence that inhibits transcription of a gene

Which of the following is a cost of urbanization? a-cities can provide a high standard of living. b-cities are hubs of entertainment and education. c-paving over land changes the environment. d-job opportunities are greater in urban centers.

If the coding part of an mrna molecule is 1800 nucleotides (bases) in length, this molecule will contain codons and code for a polypeptide that is amino acids long.

In a hypothetical breed of dogs, coat color is controlled by two genes. there are six different coat colors in this breed: black, brown, cream, gray, silver, and tan. consider the following crosses. cross 1: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all black. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black or brown. cross 2: black females from a lineage of all black dogs are crossed with tan males from a lineage where all males are tan and all females are cream. f1 males are black, f1 females are gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males and females are black, brown, gray, or tan. cross 3: silver females from a lineage where all females are silver and all males are gray are crossed with brown males from a lineage of all brown dogs. f1 males and females are all gray. when f1 are intercrossed, f2 males are black, brown, gray, or tan, f2 females are cream, gray, silver, or tan. select the correct statements regarding the mode of inheritance of the coat color genes. a) both genes are x-linked. b) both genes are autosomal. c) one of the genes modifies the expression of the other gene. d) each gene has an additive effect on the intensity of coat color. e) each gene independently specifies three colors. f) one of the genes is autosomal, and the other is x-linked.
