Explain the genotypes and phenotypes of skin color. Summarize the relationship between the number of active genes and the color

of the skin.
Biology
1 answer:
kotegsom [21]3 years ago
4 0

Human skin color is a polygenic trait, which means that multiple gene loci (with different alleles) are involved in its expression. It has been shown that there more than 350 genetic loci involved in determining skin color. Because of that, there is the enormous number of possible genotypes for the skin color and as a result, the phenotypes vary from the darkest brown to the lightest hues. Different populations have different allele frequencies of genes for human skin color, and the combination of these allele variations brings about complex and continuous variation in skin coloration. Natural skin color can change due to exposure to sunlight (becomes darker) and that is the way it adapts to intense sunlight irradiation (protection against the UV exposure).

Of the total amount of glucose energy consumed by the body each day, about what percentage is used by the brain and nerve cells?
Alexeev081 [22]

Of the total amount of glucose energy consumed by the body each day, about 20% is used by the brain and nerve cells.

The brain constitutes about 2% of the total body but it is one of the main consumers of energy derived from glucose.

The energy provided by glucose is used for the proper functioning of the brain. It generates ATP which is an energy source that is responsible for r neuronal and non-neuronal cellular maintenance and generates neurotransmitters.

Thus glucose-derived energy is critical for the health of the brain. Lack of energy can cause several brain diseases.
