Do you think the shape of orchids is pure Mendelian inheritance, or is it more complex?

The plato answer is:

It is not purely Mendelian, because it doesn’t appear to be one gene that affects the shape of the orchids. There seem to be many genes involved, with variations in the outcome.

I hope this helps :))))

The genetic base of the shape of orchid is very complex.

Mendelian traits are described as simple traits determined by one gene. The different alleles of the gene contribute to the difference in the trait. This is true for some traits in plants, animals including humans and other organisms, but not for the shape of orchids.

The shape of orchid flowers is determined by the ABCDE group of genes that are responsible for the body plan in plants. These genes are the equivalent of HOX genes of animals.

The protein products of different genes of the ABCDE group interact with each other in complex ways creating different shapes of orchids.

Ann [662]

Answer: C. Radical global climate change.

Explanation:

The entire taxa of the species can be wiped out due to an large catastrophic event associated with the change in the climate. As the climate becomes warm the chances of undergoing the global precipitation rate will change. The climate being an important abiotic factor under unstability is likely to affect the amount of rainfall, snow fall, drought and conditions of desertification. All these factors can be responsible for the removal of the entire taxa of the species in short time.

HELP! ASAP! What similarities and differences do you see in the two organisms in image 3?
marusya05 [52]

Answer:This is the exact answer so you might want to re-word it.

All the organisms an image one have a similar skeletal structure, with two legs, two arms, ribs, vertebrae, and similarly shaped skulls. However, the sizes and shapes these structures very among the species. For example, the hands of the chimpanzee, Gorilla, and orangutan are proportionally larger than the hands of the human but smaller than the hands of the gibbon.
