DNA microarray assays allow scientists to identify networks of gene expression across an entire genome.
The microarray is scanned to determine the expression of each gene printed on the slide after hybridization. The associated spot on the microarray turns red if a particular gene's expression is higher in the experimental sample than in the reference sample.
The DNA microarray is a technology that is used to identify whether a specific person's DNA has mutations in genes like BRCA1 and BRCA2. The chip is made up of a tiny glass plate that is enclosed in plastic. A few businesses use techniques resembling those employed to create computer microchips to produce microarrays.

I would say A, B D are the correct answers
Answer:
black is the dominant phenotype.
Explanation:
The black gene "overrides" the gene that codes for blue, thus making it dominant.
Answer:
No, there are multiple ways in which different mutations in the same gene can cause the same phenotype
Explanation:
Several different mechanisms of mutation can lead to the same phenotype. For example, lets say our phenotype is that flies have white eyes, and we know that this occurs in one particular gene that normally makes the eye colour red. (the red gene)
These mutations likely rendered the red gene ineffective (as the eyes are not red). However, this could happen in a variety of ways.
- There could be a single base deletion in the first exon of the mRNA, changing the reading frame of the protein and messing up the entire sequence (a frame shift mutations)
- The entire gene could be deleted
- A single base could be substituted in an important site of the gene, for example, one which translates into a catalytic residue or binding site in the protein
- There could be an inversion at the promoter region of the gene, such that a transcription factor can no longer bind to transcribe the gene.
There are countless other ways in which a mutation could have been caused. Therefore, just because we know the same gene is affected does not mean that we can assume the mutations are identical.
Runoff in neighborhoods can be a problem because as the water runs it can collect pollutants such as oil, pesticides, bacteria, etc. These pollutants can end up in our drinking water or can run into our fishing supply and even our swimming water... I wouldn't want to be swimming or eating fish that was swimming in pesticides and bacteria.
