Hydrangea flowers have one gene for flower color.

In this case, the environment alters the expression of a trait

Incomplete dominance and epistasis are two terms that define genetic relationships.

Incomplete dominance describes the interaction of two alleles on one gene; epistasis describes the interaction of two genes and their respective alleles.

Which of the following correctly describes what happens to the pre RNA during RNA processing?

Introns are removed and both a 5' cap is added before the preRNA leaves the nucleus. After leaving the nucleus, the poly-A Tail is added.

Solution A and B are both hypertonic to the sucrose solution in the bag

Which of the following would not normally diffuse through the lipid bilayer of a plasma membrane?

Starch

What is a factor that limits cell size?

The ratio of volume to surface area

Within a cell, the amount of protein synthesized using a given mRNA molecule depends in part on which of the following?

Transcription factors mediate the binding of RNA polymerase and the initiation of transcription which will determine how much protein is manufactured.

Which is true of aerobic respiration but not true of anaerobic respiration?

Water is produced
