2019 AP® BIOLOGY FREE­RESPONSE QUESTIONS

7. A researcher is studying patterns of gene expression in mice. The researcher collected samples from six different
tissues in a healthy mouse and measured the amount of mRNA from six genes. The data are shown in Figure 1.

Figure 1. mRNA expression levels of six genes

(a) Based on the data provided, identify the gene that is most likely to encode a protein that is an essential
component of glycolysis. Provide reasoning to support your identification.
(b) The researcher observed that tissues with a high level of gene H mRNA did not always have gene H protein.
Provide reasoning to explain how tissues with high gene H mRNA levels can have no gene H protein.
