If Huntington's disease is due to a dominant trait, shouldn't three-fourths of the population have Huntington's while one-fourth

has the normal phenotype? In large populations, Mendelian ratios are ineffective. Appearance of a trait in a population does not solely depend on its dominant or recessive nature. Natural selection is eliminating Huntington’s disease.

Answer:

Appearance of a trait in a population does not solely depend on its dominant or recessive nature.

Explanation:

The appearance of a trait in a population is not only dependent on its dominant or recessive nature.

Huntington's disease is caused by a mutation in the gene that encodes a protein called huntingtin (Htt). This mutation produces an altered form of the Htt protein, which causes the death of nerve cells (neurons) in certain brain regions. Even if caused by a dominant gene, Huntington's disease will only be expressed in 50% of people who inherit this gene from their parents. This will depend on the organism's gene expression and other factors besides the dominant character of this gene.

Answer:

Sedimentary rocks are types of rock that are formed by the accumulation or deposition of mineral or organic particles at the Earth's surface, followed by cementation. Sedimentation is the collective name for processes that cause these particles to settle in place.

Igneous rock (derived from the Latin word ignis meaning fire), or magmatic rock, is one of the three main rock types, the others being sedimentary and metamorphic. Igneous rock is formed through the cooling and solidification of magma or lava.

Metamorphic rocks were once igneous or sedimentary rocks, but have been changed (metamorphosed) as a result of intense heat and/or pressure within the Earth's crust. They are crystalline and often have a “squashed” (foliated or banded) texture.

How do fish nets effect the ocean's ecosystem?
LenKa [72]
Fish nets can be very detrimental towards the ecosystem, as they can trap unintended wildlife, which can horribly tilt the ecosystem one way or another.

Predict how the removal of an herbivore from a food web could affect the entire community
katrin [286]
Plants and animals live in interacting, interwined communities. There is a characteristic set of species in different environments. For example, certain species of trees, shrubs, ground cover, arthropods, reptiles, mammals, birds etc. live in a temperate forest environment. A completely different set of creatures live in a marsh, or a grassland or an agroecosystem. However, the relationships between these groups can be defined by the ecological role they play, the flow of energy between them and the cycling of nutrients between them. This is a fancy way of saying "everything is connected"! And if you change one part of the system, something else changes. In an ecosystem management decision, you hope you know what those consequences of your actions are!) This is important in managing agroecosystems as well.

What are the disadvantages of Human made materials?​
guapka [62]
Does not absorb moistures: Man-made fibres do not absorb sweat, trapping heat in our body. Rough feel: Man-made fibres may give the rough feel, making it unsuitable for pyjamas, underwear, etc. Some individuals are often prone to skin allergy, because of the dermatological action of Man-made fibres.
