Answer;
-The conservation of "junk DNA" sequences in diverse genomes suggests that they have important functions.
Explanation;
-The term junk DNA refers to regions of DNA that are noncoding. DNA contains instructions (coding) that are used to create proteins in the cell. However, the amount of DNA contained inside each cell is vast and not all of the genetic sequences present within a DNA molecule actually code for a protein.
-Some of this noncoding DNA is used to produce non-coding RNA components such as transfer RNA, regulatory RNA and ribosomal RNA. However, other DNA regions are not transcribed into proteins, nor are they used to produce RNA molecules and their function is unknown.
Answer:
A) Proportion of females with the trait is less than 8%
B) Proportion of females that would be carriers is greater than 8%
Explanation:
Only the 8% male sufferers can give their diseased X-chromosome for the female XX to be formed. hence, the proportion of the female carriers is most likely greater than 8%
On the other hand, the proportion of female sufferers will be definitely less than 8%, for 92% of the remaining male population are neither carriers nor sufferers; and the 8% male sufferers are strictly needed to give the disease X-chromosome for a female to have the trait XX.
Answer:
Heredity.
Explanation:
Heredity refers to the traits or characteristics that is passed genetically from the parents to the offsprings or passed from one generations to another. It can be through sexual or asexual reproduction.
Heredity play role in our behavior, personality and mental processes because these all are determined by the traits or characteristics we inherited from our parents.
When a single copy of a disease allele doesn't result in a disease but instead is good for the person or organism that carries it, we say that allele has a heterozygote advantage. In other words this occurs when heterozyhotes have increased fitness over both homozygotes. A good example is sickcle cell trait, which protects against malaria in heterozygotes, but causes a deadly disease in homozygotes.
