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.

What is true of matter in ecosystems?
Sidana [21]
D.Elements continuously cycle between the physical environment and living organisms.

Ecosystem is encompassing all the life on earth in the physical environment that supports it. An ecosystem involves both the biological (plants, animals, human beings) and non-biological (land, water, soil, and atmosphere) community which interacts as a system. More importantly, the living things are very dependent on the abiotic community since it cannot survive by itself. Every animal, plant and human needs the primary physiological needs of water, food and shelter provided by the abiotic system.  <span> </span>

A receptor site that a molecule can bind to that changes the shape of the active site is called a(n)
shusha [124]

Answer:

a) allosteric site

Explanation:

An allosteric site is a site on an enzyme other than the active site where a molecule that is not a substrate binds. This changes the shape of the enzyme, making it harder for the substrate to bind and inhibits enzyme activity.

Hope that helps.
