Question
A scientist is curious about the effects of diet on the gut length of spadefoot toad tadpoles. She collects tadpoles from pools and dissects them to determine the length of their gut and their diet. She finds that tadpoles with longer guts have a diet that is mostly algae. What is a possible/likely implication of this finding?
Group of answer choices
A. diet affects gene expression
B. they should make a movie about this scientist
C. algae changes DNA sequences of genes
D. there is a higher mutation rate among algae eaters
E. tadpole form is not affected by genes

- A scientist is interested in producing flowers with a darker red color. To do this, the scientist alters the promoter of the gene to make it more active. This results in increased transcription and increased red pigments. The scientist then alters the promoter to make it even more active. This results in white flowers with no red pigment. Genetic research showed an increase in the siRNA in the cell. What did the siRNA do to the mRNA? A. The siRNA caused the mRNA to be broken down. B. The siRNA caused alternative splicing of the mRNA. C. The siRNA caused increased methylation of the mRNA. D. The siRNA caused the ribosome to no longer recognize this mRNA.arrow_forwardDuring gene expression, which information flows in the correct order? A. RNA --> Transcription--> DNA B.

- The addition of the poly-A tail adds more than 200 units of adenine to the strand of mRNA, yet no protein has a continuous line of more than 200 phenylalanines in its structure. Why is this so? A.

The adenines are reabsorbed by the cell and help to form other forms of RNA. D. The tRNA does not recognize the poly-A tail.arrow_forwardHow does genetic therapy differ from traditional methods of treating a disease? a. It targets the effects of the disease b.
