Genes have different variants, called alleles. Each individual possesses two alleles for each gene (one inherited from its father, and one from the individual's mother). Alleles can have different relations with each other, and some alleles have a stronger expression, dominating the determination of the trait in the individual.
In the case of codominance, both of the alleles are equally influential, so both of them are expressed in the individual.
The most famous example of codominance is in the A,B,O blood type alleles.

The A and B alleles are codominant, so when both of them are present in the individual, that individual expresses both A and B proteins, resulting in AB blood type.

soldi70 [24.7K]

Answer:

Explanation:As previously stated, DNA is a macromolecule that's made up of individual subunits called nucleotides. Each nucleotide has three parts:

Brought to you by Sciencing

A deoxyribose sugar.

A phosphate group.

A nitrogenous base.

DNA nucleotides can contain one of four nitrogenous bases. These bases are adenine (A), thymine (T), guanine (G) and cytosine (C).

These nucleotides come together to form long chains known as DNA strands. Two complementary DNA strands bond to each other in what looks like a ladder before winding into the double helix form.

The two strands are held together through hydrogen bonds that form between the nitrogenous bases. Adenine (A) forms bonds with thymine (T) while cytosine (C) forms bonds with guanine (G); A only ever pairs with T, and C only ever pairs with G.

Complementary Definition (Biology)

In biology, specifically in terms of genetics and DNA, complementary means that the polynucleotide strand paired with the second polynucleotide strand has a nitrogenous base sequence that is the reverse complement, or the pair, of the other strand.

Movement of the chromosomes during anaphase would be most affected by a drug that prevents which of the following events in mito

xxMikexx [17]

The correct answer is: C) shortening of microtubules

Chromosome movement is possible thanks to changes in microtubule length. Several types of microtubules are involved. First, during the anaphase kinetochore microtubules shorten and consequently the chromosomes move toward the spindle poles. Then the astral microtubules that are anchored to the cell membrane pull the poles further apart. At the end of anaphase, the interpolar microtubules slide past each other and that additionaly separate the chromosomes.

-why is respiration important for a cell?

Grace [21]

Respiration is how animal cells get their energy to preform their necessary functions. Plant cells don't use respiration, because they use photosynthesis. Photosynthesis turns light into energy.

Tid-bit of info:
Cellular Respiration Formula:
Sugar + Oxygen = Carbon Dioxide + Water <span>+ ATP </span>
C₆H₁₂O₆ + O₂ = CO₂ + H₂O <span>+ ATP </span>
Photosynthesis Formula:
Sunlight + Water + Carbon Dioxide = Oxygen + Sugar
Sunlight + H₂O + CO₂ = O₂ + C₆H₁₂O₆

Answer:

they are of the same genus but not of the same species and therefore they cannot mate to give rise to fertile off springs only organisms from the same species are able to give rise to fertile offsprings
