Genetic dominant means and why it makes a difference in crossbreeding animal

Biology
1 answer:
Dovator [93]2 years ago
6 0
Genetically dominant means that the trait will always be dominant to the genetically recessive trait as long as the allele for that trait is present. 

Let's say you have an R allele that codes for a brown coat and an r allele that codes for a white coat. Say the R allele is genetically dominant to the r allele. 

If you have an animal with the genotype RR or Rr, it will show a brown coat because the genetically dominant R allele is present.

Only if the animal as a rr genotype will the white coat show because the genetically dominant R allele isn't present.

When you crossbreed, genetic dominance can be important because it can increase the chances you'll have more diverse offspring with increased chance of survival since the dominant traits, if favorable, will always show for a trait.

Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which _____. see concept 44.2 (page 980)
Nadusha1986 [10]
Birds, insects, and many reptiles excrete nitrogenous waste in the form of uric acid, which saves water. 
Nitrogenous waste in the body tend to form toxic ammonia, which must be excreted. Mammals such as human excrete urea, while birds, reptiles, and some terrestrial invertebrates produce uric acid as waste in the form of a white paste or power. The production of uric acid involves a complex metabolic pathway that  is energetically costly in comparison to processing of other nitrogenous wastes such as urea or ammonia, it has the advantages of reducing water loss and, hence, reducing the need for water.

He tells his students that _____ in the ______ help coordinate contraction of certain muscles and relaxation of others. Answers:
krek1111 [17]

Answer:

A. motor neurons; peripheral nervous system

Explanation:

Motor neurons carry signals from the peripheral nervous system to the muscles. This causes the muscles to either relax or contract. Note that the peripheral nervous system consists of neurons and parts of neurons outside of the central nervous system which consists of the brain and spinal cord. When signals are transmitted between the motor neurons and peripheral nervous system, this causes a response to stimulus in the muscles which would either, relax or contract.
