Answer: O Experiments conducted were able to demonstrate that RNA was the genetic material that passed on information to the next generation.
The correct answer is option D, that is since genetic drift is random, it does not always favor the better or healthier organisms.
A mechanism of evolution in which the frequencies of alleles of a population change with generations because of sampling error is known as genetic drift. It takes place in all the populations of non-infinite size, however, its influences are strongest in small populations.
Answer:
B) Any child born of parents who are able to taste PTC will inherit the ability to taste PTC.
Explanation:
The ability to taste the chemical PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) contain some people who can and some people who cannot taste PTC. Despite the fact, this trait is often considered a simple Mendelian trait, i.e.one gene-two alleles.(a simple genetic trait governed by a pair of alleles).The reason why this trait has been kept going in the population is undetermined but polymorphism may influence food selection or nutritional status.
If we have two parents that are heterozygous for this PTC traits, if the cross, they will have the following types of offspring.
Let say; dominant T for tasting and recessive t for nontasting---- i.e Tt
If Tt crosses with Tt, we have;
T t
T TT Tt
t Tt tt
From the punnet square, we have the following offspring
TT (dominant PTC taster )
2 Tt ( heterozygous PTC taster)
tt (recessive Non- taster)
From, the foregoing, we can clearly see that the incorrect statement about the inheritance of the ability to taste the chemical PTC (phenylthiocarbamide) is Any child born of parents who are able to taste PTC will inherit the ability to taste PTC. This is because from the cross, it is not all children that inherit the ability to taste PTC.
