You are studying a new strain of E. coli that can utilize the disaccharide melibiose very efficiently. You find that utilization depends on the enzyme melibiase, which is encoded by the gene Mel1. Mel1 is not expressed unless melibiose is present in the growth medium. You have isolated a mutation that causes constitutive melibiase activity, which you designate MelA–. P1 phage mapping experiments using a Tn5 insertion linked to Mel1 show that MelA– is not linked to Mel1. Moreover you find that when an amber suppressor is introduced into a MelA– mutant, normal melibiase regulation is restored. Classify the MelA– mutation on the basis of genetic properties,  make a proposal for the type of regulatory functions affected by the MelA– mutation?

A snapdragon plant that bred true for white petals was crossed to a plant that bred true for purple petals, and all the F1 had white petals. The F1 was selfed. Among the F2, three phenotypes were observed in the following numbers

white                              240

solid-purple                    61

spotted-purple                19

Total                              320

Which of the following reason to deviation f2 phenotype ratio ?
