Answer: codon AUG
Explanation: The codon AUG is called the START codon as it the first codon in the transcribed mRNA that undergoes translation. AUG is the most common START codon and it codes for the amino acid methionine (Met) in eukaryotes and formyl methionine (fMet) in prokaryotes.
Answer:
b) false
Explanation:
The given statement is false. the selection process used by the rancher is an example of artificial selection and not natural selection.
Artificial selection is defined as the selection process done by humans on the basis of desirable characters while in natural selection the selection is based on the adaptive characteristics of animals. In the given example rancher choses a desirable character of chicken that lays more eggs.
Hence, the given statement is "false".

Answer: The genotype ratio is 2Ff : 2ff
The phenotype ratio is two normal feathered birds to two silky feathered birds.
Explanation: Let F represent the gene for normal feather and f represent the gene for silky feather. F is dominant while f is recessive, therefore a male that is hybrid for trait of normal feather is heterozygous and will have a genotype of Ff, a female that is homozygous for silky feather will have a genotype of ff.
A cross between Ff and ff will yield 2Ff birds and 2ff birds. Since F is dominant, a bird having genotype of Ff will manifest outwardly as blue feathered birds while ff will manifest outwardly as silky feathered birds because f is recessive and must occur in a homozygous condition in order to manifest phenotypically. Therefore, the genotype ratio is 2Ff: 2ff.
