A trait that can possibly mask another trait is known as

Answer: A trait that masks another trait is called dominant trait.

A trait is a characteristic or a morphological form that is expressed in an organism. There can be two different types of traits according to Mendelian genetics that is Dominant and Recessive trait. They are expressed due to two different forms of a gene that is called allele.

A dominant allele usually represented by capital letter like T for tall, corresponds to dominant trait and this masks the expression of recessive trait. Example- Tall plant height.

On the other hand, recessive allele is represented by small letter like t for dwarf and corresponds to recessive trait. This trait does not express in the presence of dominant allele.

Example- Dwarf plant height.

The answer would be dominant trait.
<span>
There are two types of traits; dominant and recessive. A dominant trait is always expressed in an organism. Meaning the trait that it carries will physically manifest in an organism.

A recessive trait in an organism is only expressed if two copies of it are present. If a dominant trait is paired with a recessive trait it will mask the recessive trait. In other words, the dominant trait will be expressed despite the recessive trait being present. </span>

What situation might develop in a population having some plants whose flowers open at midday and other plants whose flowers open
Kay [80]

Complete question: What situation might develop in a population having some plants whose flowers open at midday and other plants whose flowers open late in the day?

a. Temporal isolation

b. Geographic isolation

c. Behavioral isolation

d. Genetic drift

Answer:

a. Temporal isolation

Explanation:

Temporal isolation is one of several mechanisms of reproductive isolation. Temporal isolation occurs when some organisms of a population exhibit different timing of reproductive maturity. It also occurs when some members of a population reproduce at a different time from the others. This does not allow interbreeding between them.

When plants of a population open flower at a different time of day, cross-pollination would not occur between these plants. This represents temporal isolation.

1. In the fast change, how are other parts of the ecosystem affected?
Naya [18.7K]
The limit of ecosystems to give advantages to people, that is to give biological community administrations, gets from natural cycles of water, nitrogen, carbon, and phosphorus. These procedures have now and again been altogether altered by human movement. Changes have been quicker in the second 50% of the twentieth century than at some other time in recorded mankind's history.

What is the difference between force and net force? <br><br>Don't copied from goo-gle
inessss [21]
"Net force" simply means the sum of all forces. The "unless acted upon by a net force" version is more correct. For example, as you stand or sit still, the earth pushes you up with a force equal and opposite to the force with which gravity pulls you down. The net force, or total force, is zero, so you do not move.

Suppose a gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant over the other. An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allel
Trava [24]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A. Two copies of the allele that determines phenotype whenever the allele is present

B. Two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent

C. One copy of the allele that determines phenotype when present and one copy of the other allele

D. One copy of each of two alleles that both contribute equally to determining phenotype

The answer is B.

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel, a Gene comes in two alternative forms called ALLELES. One allele called the DOMINANT ALLELE is capable of masking the phenotypic expression of the other called the RECESSIVE ALLELE. The dominant allele will always express itself whenever it is present. However, a recessive trait will only be expressed when two alleles for recessiveness occur in the gene.

An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allele will have two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent. This means that in that particular gene, the two present alleles will be recessive alleles.
