<span>Mendel included the following in his hypothesis: A pair of factors (known as genes) control traits. One gene comes from each parent for every trait. Each trait is passed from generation to generation. When gametes are formed, genes separate. If there are two unlike genes, one may be seen while the other is hidden. The inheritance of each trait is determined by units or factors that are passed on to descendants unchanged, and individual inherits one such unit from each parent for each trait, a trait may not show up in an individual but can still be passed on to the next generation and also the genes for each trait segragate themselves during gamete production.</span>
The pink flower donates the r allele and produces pink flowers in 50% of the offspring. The genotype for the pink flower is Rr and the genotype for the white flower is rr. This would lead to a 50% chance of the offspring having a phenotype of pink.
Even though New Zealand has a smaller population than Australia, it has a greater population density because it covers a much smaller area. Australia’s population is approximately five times larger than New Zealand’s while the area Australia covers is approximately 30 times larger than the area New Zealand covers.
The mutation resulting in sickle cell disease changes one base pair of DNA so that a codon now codes for a different amino acid, making it an example of a missense mutation. Missense mutation is the mutation characterized with <span>changes in one base pair so that the whole amino acid is changed.</span>
Ralph and Harry would probably be as similar as twins that are raised together or even more similar than twins that are raised together.
Research has found out that, identical twins become more alike as they grow older, unlike fraternal twins who do not become more alike as they grow up.
