CORRECT ANSWERS: “Eye color is controlled by many genes” and “Eye color has a polygenic inheritance pattern”
***These two answer choices are actually saying the same thing. (poly = many, so polygenic just means a trait is controlled by many genes) These are the best answers because traits that are controlled by several genes have many different phenotypes (traits) that can result (ex: blue eyes, green eyes, brown eyes, hazel eyes...etc).
WRONG ANSWERS: “Eye color is controlled by only one pair of genes”
***The trait is most likely controlled by more than one pair of genes because there are three different phenotypes discussed in the problem. There are inheritance patterns where one gene can cause three phenotypes (complete dominance and incomplete dominance), but these produce a combination of the traits (brown AND blue eyes...doesn’t make much sense) or a mix of the traits (whatever color brown mixed with blue gives you...still probably not green). Anyways, it’s a feasible answer but definitely not the BEST.
“Eye color is not an inherited trait”
***All traits are determined by the genetic code we inherit from our parents. The way our cellular mechanisms express of those traits can vary and be determined by environmental factors, but this is still by far the least accurate statement.
“Eye color is inherited from only one parent”
***For any given gene we receive one allele (copy of that gene) from each parent. Therefore, all of our traits are inherited from both parents. Again, the expression of those traits varied based on patterns of inheritance, environmental factors...etc, but this is another very poor answer choice.
FUNGI is the Kingdom of organisms that is usually multi-celled, heterotrophic, and has cell walls made of chitin, divided by openings called septa.
The other 5 kingdoms are Archaebacteria, Eubacteria, Protista, Plantae, Animalia.
Answer:All energy sources have some impact on our environment. Fossil fuels—coal, oil, and natural gas—do substantially more harm than renewable energy sources by most measures, including air and water pollution, damage to public health, wildlife and habitat loss, water use, land use, and global warming emissions.
Explanation:It becomes clear that for more than 45 percent of respondents, solar energy was the most environmentally friendly energy source. The energy generated by the wind was also a considered to be pro-environment by almost 24 percent of the respondents.
I think the correct answer from the choices listed above is option 1. The best explanation for these modified rice plants being flood resistant is that <span>the gene for flood resistance was inserted into plant cells, which grew into plants whose cells are expressing this gene. Hope this answers the question. Have a nice day.</span>
