A locus determines the type of pigment produced in the squash, with yellow (Y_) dominant over green (yy). This locus is expressed only in ww plants, which lack the dominant inhibitory allele W. We can assign the genotype ww Y_ to plants that produce yellow squash and the genotype ww yy to plants that produce green squash. The genotypes and their associated phenotypes are:

What will be the correct prediction about these pathway?

In multiple sclerosis, the myelin sheaths around the axons of the brain and spinal cord are damaged and demyelination results. How does this disease manifest at the level of the action potential?

 I) Action potentials move in the opposite direction on the axon.

 II) Action potentials move more slowly along the axon.

 III) No action potentials are transmitted.
