1.What is the probability that a sperm from the father will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
2.What is the probability that an egg from the mother will contain the PKU allele?
Probability = ½
3.What is the probability that their next child will have PKU?
Probability = ¼ (because each parent has ½ chance ½ X ½ = ¼)
4.What is the probability that their next child will be heterozygous for the PKU gene?
Probability = ½ (because each parent has ½ chance of donating the ‘P’ allele and ½ chance of donating the ‘p’ allele (½ x ½) + (½ x ½) = ½
Answer:
Environmental factors can influence natural selection because they can increase or decrease the amount of genetic variation in a population.
Explanation:
Natural selection is a process that involves the survival of species through changes in the expression of their genes, making possible the process of adaptation to environmental changes. It is one of the explanations for the biological evolution of species.
The second premise, necessary for natural selection to be possible, implies the existence of a variability (genetics) of traits among individuals in a population.
The other premises of natural selection are the faculty of traits to be inheritable and that genetic variability should lead to reproductive success and survival.
- <em>The other options are not related to the process of natural selection, since it is not possible for natural selection to increase or decrease the number of chromosomes, in addition to the fact that genetic variability must be observed in a population, not in a single individual, to be considered natural selection </em>
Answer:
Apoptosis also plays a key role in human development. For instance, as we saw in the introduction, your hand started out as a paddle-like block of tissue when you were an embryo. The block was “carved” into fingers by apoptosis of the cells in between the developing fingers.
Explanation:
Answer:
PROMOTER is a DNA sequence where RNA polymerase binds and begins the process of transcription. ENHANCER is a D N A sequence that binds regulatory proteins that interact with promoter-bound proteins to activate transcription.
