Answer:
Two European men and two Polynesian women settled on a previously uninhabited tropical island. All four of the settlers have brown eyes, a dominant trait, but one of the Europeans is heterozygous and carries the recessive gene for blue eyes. No new settlers arrive,and nobody leaves the island.After a few generations,the percentage of blue-eyed individuals increases from the original zero to 25 percent.This is probably due to which of the following factors?
genetic drift
Explanation:
Genetic drift entails when there are changes in the gene frequency which occur in a gene that is existing. From the analogy above, it is a known fact that only gneetic drift could allow such to happen as mutation will only occur with a sudden change of gene which is not the case described above
Answer:
All vascular plants have water-conducting tissue and are better adapted for life on land than the bryophytes; they are also characterized by a dominant sporophyte generation.
Answer:
Explanation:
Since Mark's wife was a carrier, it means that she is heterozygous for the trait. And after Mark got tested, they decided to have children due to no increased risk if they do have children, it means the condition is not an autosomal dominant condition but a recessive condition because if the condition is dominant, only one copy of the affected allele is needed to increase risk.
Thus, with a no increased risk, it means Mark is normal i.e. carries no copy of the recessive allele.
DNA needs to replicate before cells divide to give the complete set of genetic instructions to its daughter cells, (or ensures that each new cell inherits all of the genetic traits of the parent cell).
Hope this helps! :D
