A researcher studying bacterial toxin predicts that a lysine within the toxin is important for binding it’s target cell.  She used site-directed mutagenesis to change a codon for lysine (AAA) to one for asparagine (AAU).  However, the mutant toxin still binds to its target cell just as well as the wild-type toxin bound and appears to have no other changes. This type of mutation is probably

The interaction of two loci that determine fruit color in summer squash, which is commonly found in one of three colors: yellow, white, or green. When a homozygous plant that produces white squash is crossed with a homozygous plant that produces green squash and the F1 plants are crossed with each other, the following results are obtained:

 12/16 plants with white squash

 3 /16 plants with yellow squash

 1 /16 plants with green squash

 This is the case of___
