Contrast penetrance and expressivity as the terms relate to phenotypic expression.

Biology
1 answer:
Inessa [10]3 years ago

Answer:

d. Expressivity refers to the range of expression of a given phenotype.

e. Penetrance refers to the percentage of individuals that expresses the mutant phenotype.

Explanation:

Penetrance is the probability of a gene being expressed. Sometimes, phenotype is not observed even when the dominant allele is present. It is a result of various genetic and environmental factors coming together.This phenomenon is called as incomplete or reduced penetrance. For example: polydactyly trait is produced by a dominant allele but its penetrance is low in general population hence few people show this trait.

Expressivity is the variation in phenotypic expression when an allele is penetrant. Same genetic combination for a trait can have different expressivity in the same population. This phenomenon is also a result of genetic and environmental factors acting together. For example: people who do end up showing polydactyly trait may show it to different degrees. Some might have one extra finger, some might have two. Some might have a stub, some might have a full grown finger.

Hi

your answer to this response will be

Paleontologists study fossils and their relationship to existing plants and animals. The work of these scientists helps us understand both the present and the past. For example, using their knowledge of how fossils are distributed in sediments, paleontologists can help make accurate geological maps.

so the answer is A)

i hope this help if i got it wrong im sorry

have a great evening
