If an individual carries only two alleles, is it possible for a single gene to have more than two alleles? no. if a gene had mor

e than two alleles, it would be too variable to be identified as one gene. yes, but it results in diseases such as trisomy 21. yes, but the alleles that the individual carries then would no longer be inherited as one from the mother and one from the father. the law of segregation does not apply to genes with multiple alleles. no. if a gene had more than two alleles, it would not be dominant or recessive. yes. more than two possible alleles for a single gene type is called multiple allelism. the alleles for the abo blood types are an example.

<span>

It is possible to exist more than two alleles for a single gene within the population, but individuals have only two of those alleles (each from one parent).</span>

Always involves channel proteins
Irina18 [472]
Even though facilitated diffusion involves transport proteins, it is still passive transport because the solute is moving down the concentration gradient. ... A channel protein, a type of transport protein, acts like a pore in the membrane that lets water molecules or small ions through quickly.

What are the three main ways that common ancestry may be shown through homologies
Harrizon [31]

Answer:

Homology is a study of similar characters found in two species because of common ancestry.

Explanation:

1.Morphological homology: Species placed under same taxonomic category exhibit similar anatomical structures.

2.Ontogenetic homology: Species belongs to same taxonomic category embryological similarities

3.Molecular homology: Species show molecular similarities such as DNA,RNA and protein

An example of homology is seen in the skeletal strycture of vertebrates. That is arm of a human,leg of a cat,fin of a whale and wing of a bat.

Most deer mouse populations inhabit regions with dark soils. These deer mice have dark brown fur. Populations of deer mice found
mixas84 [53]

Answer:

Tan fur helps the mice protect themselves from predators

Explanation:

The entrenchment of this phenotype in the population is powered by natural selection pressures. The mice with fur color that enable them to camouflage with their environment are predated less than mice with other fur colors. These tan mice are therefore more likely to survive and pass their genes to the next generation. Through successive generations, the allelic frequency for the tan fur color increases until it is the dominant allele in the population.

arsen [322]

Answer:

The answer is C

Explanation: The random change in the gene pool is due to genetic drift. Remember, genetic drift occurs at a more rapid rate when the population size is reduced. The flood is a random occurrence. It could have as easily been a drought.
