A newly discovered gene has two aleles a and a scientists hypothesize that the alleles show incomplete dominance
tatiyna
If scientists believe that the newly discovered gene has two alleles A and a and that the alleles show incomplete dominance, the best way to prove this is to look for subjects who are homozygous with respect to the different alleles. The offsprings will all have the genotype of Aa and if indeed, the alleles show incomplete the dominance, the traits of the first generation will not manifest completely but a mixture of two will.

Inessa05 [86]

Answer:

O True

Explanation:

Ecosystem engineers are able to modify the surrounding environment, either by creating new habitats or modifying/destroying existing ones to adjust them to their needs. These species can significantly alter their environments, having a large impact on the species richness as well as modifying the availability of abiotic factors (e.g., water, space, etc) of a particular area. In certain environments, ecosystem engineers can even act as keystone species. Some examples of ecosystem engineers include, among others, beavers, woodpeckers, corals, etc.
