The issue of high cholesterol can sometimes run in families. If an individual has two normal alleles, then he is phenotypically

normal. Individuals having both recessive alleles for this condition leads to zero production of receptors that remove cholesterol from blood. However, individuals who are heterozygous produce half the number of receptors necessary to remove cholesterol from the blood. This is a good example of
A) epistasis.

B) complete dominance.

C) incomplete dominance.

D) codominance.

In the case of the gene that determines high cholesterol in the blood, the two alleles express incomplete dominance.
What this means is that the dominant allele is not completely dominant over the recessive allele. If the allele was completely dominant, even one allele would be enough to determine the individual's trait as dominant. But in the case of incomplete dominance between the alleles, the heterozygous individuals that have one dominant and one recessive allele are an ''in between'' phenotype.

Why human with heterozygous genotype will have the dominant phenotype?
AnnZ [28]

A human with heterozygous genotype can have a dominant phenotype if one of the alleles complete mask the effects of the other.

  • Heterozygous genotype involves two different alleles, unlike homzygous genotypes in which the alleles are the same.
  • When the two alleles of an heterozygous genotype exert equal effects on one another, they are said to be codominant.
  • When one of the alleles of an heterozygous genotype incompletely exert its effects on the other allele, it is said to be incomplete dominance.
  • When one of the alleles complete dominates and masks the effects of the other allele, it is said to be dominant.

Hence, a dominant allele will always produce a dominant phenotype even if the genotype of the organism is heterozygous.

Why does diuron cause coral to bleach
erica [24]

Simple answer:

When corals are stressed by changes in conditions such as temperature, light, or nutrients, they expel the symbiotic algae living in their tissues, causing them to turn completely white. Warmer water temperatures can result in coral bleaching. ... This is called coral bleaching. When a coral bleaches, it is not dead.

More in depth explanation:

Exposure to higher (100 and 1000 µg l-1) diuron concentrations for 96 h caused a reduction in ΔF/Fm¹, the ratio variable to maximal fluorescence (Fv/Fm), a significant loss of symbiotic dinoflagellates and pronounced tissue retraction, causing the corals to pale or bleach.

Hope this helped :)
