Answer: B. False
Explanation:
“Hox” genes are a highly conserved group of genes, all of whose products are transcription factors bearing a specific domain (called a ”homeodomain”). The transcriptional activity of a large amount of genes relevant to embryonic development is controlled by regulatory sites which are able to bind to this domain. Changes in the transcriptional activity of even a single Hox gene may thus have dramatic downstream effects on the phenotype, as this will result in several further genes having their transcription either enhanced or suppressed.
Answer:
a trait is a characteristic, such as color or size, that is inherited by an offspring from its parents. The genes that control a trait come in pairs, one gene from each parent. If a gene pair contains a dominant allele, then the offspring will show this dominant trait.
step by step:
Hi,
I think that you're missing some options, but here they are (let me know if I'm right!
-A population of wolves was introduced
-The amount of disease in the deer population decreased
-More grass was planted
Now, if the gene diversity decreased, it means that a lot of deer died. This could happen because wolves were introduced -this is the correct answer, and the wolves ate some deer.
No, what determines a dominant gene is how many copies of that gene exists within the parent. This doesn't mean it will be the most common because of recessive genes. It doesn't matter how many copies a dominant gene has, a recessive gene can still appear in the offspring.
