The termination of translation occurs when a ribosome that is translating an mRNA encounters a stop codon. Since there are no tRNAs that can base pair with stop codons, the A-site of a ribosome that is positioned at a stop codon is able to bind a protein called release factor, […]

Heliconius melpomene is a species of butterfly with ZW sex determination. H. melpomene’s wing spots are normally orange, but a recessive Z-linked mutation causes the spots to be yellow, while a recessive autosomal mutation causes the spots to be red. Butterflies homozygous (or hemizygous) for both mutations have no wing […]
