Ben:
>The y non-mutated gene is fully active!, contrary to what JH says.
Ben, this is what I said: "The yellow leafed gene "Y" is probably an
inhibitor gene that somehow stops chlorophyll synthesis before it is
completed." I said it is a fully functional gene that is an inhibitor
gene that stops chlorophyll synthesis. Don't you know how to read!
>It is only the mutated Y gene that is less active.
The mutated "Y" gene is the "y" allele, which is the non-functional
gene - actually it's the enzyme that "y" produces that is
non-functional. I wish you would learn how to read before you
complain.
