Answer:
Genotype: Bb (heterozygous)
Phenotype: brown fur
Explanation:
Since allele B is dominant to allele b, as long as genotype has allele B in it, its effect of phenotype will be expressed instead, regardless of whether allele b is present.
As mouse genotype is stated as Bb, on the chromosome from its parents, allele B comes from one parent while allele b is inherited from the other parent.
Phenotype is the expressed trait. In this case, as genotype has allele B, the phenotype will be brown fur as its effect is expressed.
Answer: c
Explanation: Plants and animals need nitrogen to make proteins but they cannot take it in from the air. Because nitrogen is unreactive as a gas, it has to be transformed into a new molecule. When bacteria in the soil takes nitrogen from the air, it becomes nitrates. Finally, it can move through the food chain in this form.
Answer:
Option A, C and D
Explanation:
Mutations can be beneficial and call also not be beneficial. Examples of beneficial mutation includes laptop tolerance, HIV resistance etc. This mutations occur as changes in the nucleic acid sequences (DNA; which is made up of the four nitrogenous bases, deoxy/ribose sugar and phosphate group. Changes in these bases can bring about mutations that are beneficial) of organism and also it depends on where in the genetic code they occur. Beneficiary mutations can bring about increased fitness of the organisms involved.
