Johann gregor mendel's work in genetics focused on traits that exhibit discontinuous variation. what kind of traits are these?

1 answer:

5 0

Discontinuous variation is when a trait is seen in a population in two or more different forms and there is no continuation along a gradient. A good example that Mendel studied is flower color. The flowers were either white or purple. There was no in between color. This is caused by an allele for purple or a lack of an allele for purple, which produces no pigment, or white.

This is extremely vague, but assuming this is regarding concentration gradient in the nervous system, the Sodium-Potassium pump is responsible for transporting sodium and potassium.

Susan, a mother with Type B blood, has a child with Type O blood. She claims that Craig, who has Type A blood, is the father. He

never [62]

Answer:

b. Craig is right and doesn't have to pay child support.

Explanation:

ABO blood group is controlled by three alleles. IA and IB are codominant to each other and both are dominant over i allele. IAIA and IAi produce A blood group. IBIB and IBi produce B blood group. ii produces O blood group.

Susan's son has O blood group so his genotype must be ii. He got one "i" allele from Susan and one "i" allele from his father. Craig's genotype is IAIA so there is no chance that he could have passed on "i" allele to Susan's son. Hence Craig is not his father and does not need to pay child support.

I need help with my biology hm

lidiya [134]

Answer:

Okay let me break this down, so you have a pure red and pure white feathered chicken meaning that the chickens have homologous alleles. Overtime, as you breed the two you may get multicolored chickens but they can carry the recessive white feathers alleles (FWFW) meaning that they can still produce all white chickens and they can continuously do that over generations. Selective breeding may be negative because you may not get the desired result, you could breed for the wrong traits, other characteristics are lost and the resulting population is very similar. Less genetic variation can cause the chickens to not be resistant to problems like diseases and could fall ill.
