single amino acid change in the beta-globin subunit of the hemoglobin protein

deletion within a regulatory sequence of the Pitx1 gene

Q2) This is one of three questions that require you to match the following naturally occurring polymorphisms with the phenotypes they influence:

Coat color variation in pocket mice of the US desert southwest ___________.

exon deletions in the OCA2 gene

gain-of-function allele of the MC1R gene associated with 4 amino acid substitutions

single amino acid change in the beta-globin subunit of the hemoglobin protein

deletion within a regulatory sequence of the Pitx1 gene

mutation in a regulatory sequence governing expression of the yellow gene

Q3) This is one of three questions that require you to match the following naturally occurring polymorphisms with the phenotypes they influence:
