(STAAR B6.A) Nitrogenous bases are located on both strands of the DNA double helix. What is the significance of the nitrogenous bases?
The number of adenines and cytosines determine the type of RNA that will be produced
The order of nitrogenous bases determines the order of amino acids in the proteins synthesized
The amount of thymine and guanine in the DNA molecules determine the length of the genes
The type of hydrogen bonding between the nitrogenous bases determines which amino acid will be added to the peptide chain

(STAAR B6.D) In the 1917 the biologist Thomas Hunt Morgan conducted studies in which he kept some caterpillars in the dark and placed some others under red, green, or blue lights. Exposure to red light produced butterflies with brightly colored wings. Exposure to green light resulted in dark-colored wings. Exposure to blue light or no light resulted in pale-colored wings. What was the most likely conclusion of Morgan's research?
The pigment in butterfly wings absorbs light from the environment
The phenotypic expression of wing shape depends on color pigmentation in butterflies
The genes regulating wing color in butterflies are influenced by environmental factors
Caterpillars exposed to red and green light are healthier than caterpillars exposed to no light or blue light
