What type of trait in mendel's studies could vanish in one generation and reappear in the next generation?

Biology

stira [4]2 years ago

Recessive traits often seem to disappear because two recessive alleles are needed to produce the recessive phenotype. They can skip a generation and then reappear if an individual inherits two copies of the recessive gene. Mendel's experiments revealed that phenotypes could be hidden in one generation, only to reemerge in subsequent generations.

Recessive traits disappear because recessive alleles can hide out in heterozygotes, allowing them to persist in gene pools and natural selection can only see the phenotype, not the genotype. While harmful recessive alleles will be selected against and it's almost impossible for recessive alleles to completely disappear from a gene pool.

Juli2301 [7.4K]
The area of a rectangle = length x width so:
A = <em>l </em>x w

if we know the area of the playground is 20 sq yards, then:

20 = <em>l x </em>w

if the length is 5 times the width, then:
<em>l = 5w
</em>
We can combine these equations by substituting this <em>" l </em>" into the first equation:

20 = 5w x w

Now solve!

20 = 5w x w
combine the w's
20 = 5w²
divide both sides by 5
4 = w²
square root both sides
2 = w

The width of the playground is 2 yards. 

To find the length of the playground, you can plug that back into the equation
<em>l = </em>5w <em>
</em><em>l </em>= 5(2)
<em /><em>l = </em>10
<em>
</em>The length of the playground is 10 yards.<em>

Describe the discovery of the importance of DNA including descriptions of at least two experiments
Annette [7]

Explanation:

Introduction

Our modern understanding of DNA role in heredity has led to a variety of practical applications, including forensic analysis, paternity testing, and genetic screening. Thanks to these wide-ranging uses, today many people have at least a basic awareness of DNA.

It may be surprising, then, to realize that less than a century ago, even the best-educated members of the scientific community did not know that DNA was the hereditary material!

In this article, we'll look at some of the classic experiments that led to the identification of DNA as the carrier of genetic information.

Protein vs. DNA

The work of Gregor Mendel showed that traits (such as flower colors in pea plants) were not inherited directly, but rather, were specified by genes passed on from parents to offspring. The work of additional scientists around the turn of the 20th century, including Theodor Bovari, Walter Sutton, and Thomas Hunt Morgan, established that Mendel's heritable factors were most likely carried on chromosomes.

Scientists first thought that proteins, which are found in chromosomes along with DNA, would turn out to be the sought-after genetic material. Proteins were known to have diverse amino acid sequences, while DNA was thought to be a boring, repetitive polymer, due in part to an incorrect (but popular) model of its structure and composition1

start superscript, 1, end superscript.

Today, we know that DNA is not actually repetitive and can carry large amounts of information, as discussed further in the article on discovery of DNA structure. But how did scientists first come to realize that "boring" DNA might actually be the genetic material?
