Why might polygenic inheritance result in a continuum of phenotypes that overlap?

Biology
1 answer:
Anna007 [38]2 years ago
8 0

Polygenic inheritance result in a continuum of phenotypes because the genes that are involved can be considered to be co-dominant traits that fall into discrete categories are called continuous traits false.

<h3>What is Polygenic Inheritance?</h3>

A single inherited phenotypic trait that is governed by two or more separate genes is referred to as polygenic inheritance, often referred to as quantitative inheritance.

In a system that is distinct from Mendelian Genetics, wherein monogenic features are determined by the various alleles of a single gene, polygenetic traits may exhibit a variety of potential phenotypes, determined by a number of different genes and the interactions between them.

In contrast to Mendelian genetics, when one allele completely dominates or hides another, features generated by polygenic inheritance are not only the result of dominance and recessively. Instead, polygenic features show incomplete dominance, resulting in a combination of the phenotypes seen in the parents in the offspring.

The current maternal blood-screening test is called the triple screen because:
Tasya [4]

The current maternal blood-screening test is also known as the triple screen test because of the testing of the three substances in the blood of a pregnant woman. These three tested components are the hCG (Human Chorionic Gonadotropin), AFP (Alpha-feto protein), and the estriol.

For the purpose of this triple screen test, the blood is drawn for the expectant mother and then this drawn blood is tested for the listed three components.

Hence, the correct answer is 'it tests for three substances in the maternal blood'.

How are amino acids joined together to form a protein?
mash [69]

Answer:

Within a protein, multiple amino acids are linked together by peptide bonds, thereby forming a long chain. Peptide bonds are formed by a biochemical reaction that extracts a water molecule as it joins the amino group of one amino acid to the carboxyl group of a neighboring amino acid. (from google)

Explanation: hope this helps!  :)

Fill in the blanks to make the following statement true
Arisa [49]

Answer:An inherited, natural selection.

Explanation: Adaptation is the process through which living organisms develop mechanisms this mechanisms may be Inherited to enable them survive competition and other prevailing circumstances. Which can also be environmental, climatic factors etc.

Adaptation helps to ensure the principle of NATURAL SELECTION,where organisms which have been able to develop similar mechanisms or have natural mechanisms that has enabled them to survive the prevailing circumstances in the habitat.

—- blowing of the sun causes—currents in the water that flows like rivers,moving the — energy in water from place to place
Katena32 [7]

A river current is the water moving in a river. Rivers flow from high points to lower ones and eventually down to a larger body of water. The force of gravity, which makes the water flow downward, creates river currents. A current is the steady, predictable flow of one fluid within the body of another fluid. Fluids are materials capable of flowing and easily changing shape. The most common natural fluid is water. River currents are influenced by the volume, or amount, of water flowing in a river; the river's steepness, called its stream gradient; and a riverbed's topography, including sand bars, basins, rocks, and dams.

Con ayuda de un microscopio se observa una bacteria en el agua transcurridas (2) se miran muchas bacterias . Que ocurrio alli ,q
Marizza181 [45]

Answer:

Ninguna de las dos. No ocurre ni mitosis ni meiosis.

Probablemente haya ocurrido fisión binaria/bipartición.

Explanation:

En este caso estamos hablando de <u>bacterias</u>, organismos unicelulares procariotas. Estos tienen una forma de reproducción asexual denominado <u>fisión binaria</u>. Los <em>eucariotas</em> por su parte pasan por periodos de <em>división celular implicada en el crecimiento denominado </em><u><em>mitosis</em></u><em>, y división celular implicada en reproducción sexual, denominada </em><u><em>meiosis</em></u><em>. </em>

La fisión binaria, también conocida como bipartición, si bien muy parecida a la mitosis en algunos aspectos, es la forma de reproducción de las bacterias.

Ambas, mitosis y fisión binaria, implican un duplicado de material genético. El ADN se duplica y una copia va a cada célula hija. Lo mismo sucede con el resto del contenido celular. Finalmente ocurre citocinesis. Sin embargo, a diferencia de la bipartición, la <em>mitosis requiere de mecanismos mucho mas complejos de duplicación celular e involucra también a la cariocinesis, ausente en bacterias</em>.

La fisión binaria ocurre muy rápidamente, en un breve período de tiempo puede hallarse una diferencia considerable en la cantidad de células presentes en un sustrato, producto de esta división. Es por esto que el crecimiento que exhiben las bacterias como población, sigue un <em>modelo exponencial</em>.
