Around 40% of cats with white fur and blue eyes are deaf.

The gene responsible is pleiotropic means that one gene responsible for their deafness controls and affects multiple unrelated characteristics.

Pleiotropic gene action is what occurs when one gene affects two or more unrelated phenotypic characteristics or traits. An example of pleiotropic gene action occurs in Marfan syndrome (a human hereditary disorder). Marfan syndrome is caused as a result of a mutation in one gene which affects multiple features in the growth and development aspects such as height and the heart function.

Two women are comparable in age, body conformation, and are pregnant at the same time, but one experiences stretch marks, while
adell [148]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

a. The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

b. The woman may have different gender babies.

c. The woman with less stretch marks has larger skin cells.

d. The woman without stretch marks has more cholesterol in her diet, which affects her cell membranes.

Answer:

The woman with stretch marks has a greater collagen-to-elastic fiber ratio.

Explanation:

The stretch marks on the hips, stomach and breast of pregnant women is a very common problem. These stretch marks appear pinkish in color which is very difficult to treat.

These stretch marks are the result of the collagen to elastin ratio which increases and stretches. This stretching happens due to the sudden or rapid increase in the weight of the body or the affected portion.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

Enter a nuclear equation for the fusion of two h-2 atoms to form he-3 and one neutron. express your answer as a nuclear equation
aliya0001 [1]

The nuclear equation that represents the fusion of two H-2 atoms to form He-3 and one neutron is

\frac{2}{1} h + \frac{2}{1} h >  >  >  >  \frac{3}{2} he   +  \frac{1}{0} n

In a nuclear reaction the nuclides are represented with the chemical symbol preceded by a superscript that represents the mass number (number of protons plus neutrons) and a subscript that represents the atomic number (number of protons).

<h3>What is a Nuclear reaction ?</h3>

A nuclear reaction is a process in nuclear physics and nuclear chemistry where two nuclei or a nucleus and an outside subatomic particle meet to create one or more new nuclides. Consequently, at least one nuclide must change throughout a nuclear reaction.

Explain how genetic mutations are introduced into a population of organisms.
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

The flow of individuals in and out of a population introduces new alleles and increases genetic variation within that population. Mutations are changes to an organism's DNA that create diversity within a population by introducing new alleles.

I hope it's helpful!
