Answer:

The correct answer would be option A.

Pollution generated as a result of the industrial revolution led to the accumulation of dust, soot, et cetera on the bark of trees which led to the darkening of the bark of the trees.

Consequently, the dark-colored peppered moth had a survival advantage as they were better able to camouflage with dark trees.

Natural selection increased the number of the dark-colored peppered moth.  

Thus, it can be concluded that pollution from the industrial revolution darkened the trees which led to an increase in the number of dark-colored peppered moths.

Which of the following is an example of polygenic (quantitative) inheritance? a. the ABO blood groups b. Huntington's disease
ra1l [238]

Answer:Human height

Explanation:

Inheritance patterns are often more complex than predicted by simple mendalian genetics. When Mendel studied some phenotypic characters, like the human skin color and height, they were found to be an addictive effect of two or more genes on a single phenotypic character. These are called quantitative characters, which usually indicates polygenic inheritance.

The human height is an example of quantitative character, it is controlled by at least 3 genes having 6 alleles. 3 genes with 6 alleles from both parent can give rise to wide range of phenotypic character (heights).

While analyzing a karyotype, geneticists identify a missing chromosome. Which term describes this chromosomal abnormality?
Alinara [238K]

Answer:

Aneuploidy

Explanation:

Aneuploidy is the presence of abnormal normal of chromosomes in a cell. Example: The chromosomes number 45 or 47 chromosomes which is not common in case of human beings.

The normal number of chromosomes in human beings is 46. This results in different syndromes which can cause deformities in the body of the individual.

It leads to miscarriage in most of the cases the survival is very less.
