Research suggests that a mutation in the CDKN2 gene on (chromosome 9) plays a role in this form of melanoma. Studies have also implicated genes on chromosomes 1 and 12 in cases of familial melanoma.

explain how complete dominance, co dominance, incomplete dominance, and sex linked traits are inherited and expressed differentl
dlinn [17]
<span> COMPLETE DOMINANCE:
</span>
<span>Mendel concluded that some alleles are dominant and others are recessive. When one dominant allele is present, it's enough to make the recessive allele unexpressed (this is what happens in heterozygous individuals). In other words, it 'hides' or masks the recessive allele.

CO-DOMINANCE:

-a condition in which both alleles are dominant.
</span>
There are alleles that have the capacity of dominating at the same time, and when an organism is heterozygotic, both alleles are expressed.
For example, a white chicken(WW) crossed with a black chicken (BB):  100% of the offspring being WB. With this genotype, they have black feathers and white feathers.
It's not a blend of colors, but a case where both are expressing.

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE:
-a condition with none of the alleles is dominant or recessive, so the traits blend in the phenotype.

Some alleles are not completely dominant, and when that's the case the phenotype of a heterozygous organism will be a mix between the phenotypes of its homozygous parents.

For example:
plant 1: RR -red
plant 2: rr- white

By crossing this plants we will obtain 100%  of the offspring with a color mix: pink.(genotype: Rr)
Red and white are not completely dominating so it results in a blend of colors.

SEX LINKED TRAITS

Sex chromosomes contain genes that determine the sex of a person. Two X chromosomes result in a female and one X plus a Y result in a male.

In those chromosomes, there are genes specific for each gender, and in those chromosomes, there are genes that code for certain traits- the sex-linked traits.
These traits will be inherited according to the sex chromosomes they receive from their parents.

The alveoli are lined with mucus and are surrounded by a network of blood capillaries. They have very thin walls for gases to be absorbed through. An individual air sac is called an alveolus. The layer of moisture in the alveoli allows gases to dissolve so that they can diffuse quickly.

I hope that helps you!

How might the sources of food differ from island to island
sammy [17]

In terms of biodiversity, islands are special locations that contain a range of creatures and ecosystems for both native and endangered biodiversity. Endemism is typical of many islands. Thus islands are regarded as hot spots for biodiversity from a regional biodiversity viewpoint. In a collective portion of a basic land ecosystem it is much simpler to conserve species diversity than by shielding only one region of an archipelago.

Since every island has a specific variety of plants and animals, it is important that conservationists preserve the entire island chain. Thus allow the sources of food to differ from island to island in an archipelago. The type of producer originated in an island and then the type of consumers consuming it differ from island to island due to huge variety of and different adaptations of organisms.
