For mutations to affect an organism's descendants, they must: 1) occur in cells that produce the next generation, and 2) affect the hereditary material. Ultimately, the interplay between inherited mutations and environmental pressures generates diversity among species.
Correct answer looks like to me would be A. Because, if a sunflower has 34 chromosomes, when you split it up into x and y chromosomes, there will be 17 x chromosomes and 17 y chromosomes. Hope this helps!
Explanation:
Natural selection is the mechanism that is responsible for the evolution of organisms.
In the given case, the Freshwater shrimp has been introduced to a pond in which the two species with variations are introduced.
The <em>C. cantonensis </em>is brighter in color whereas the <em>C. multidentata</em> is mottled drab in color. The predator fish can feed easily on the species which is brighter therefore <em>C. cantonensis</em> is more susceptible. The mottled drab species is not easily predated by the species.
The 30 % offsprings of <em>C. cantonensis</em> can survive till the reproductive age whereas 75% of C. multidentata. This shows that natural selection has acted on the color of the shrimp species selected against the predator fish species.
The species with mottled drab color is the result of the differential reproductive rate.
Answer:
The female (XcX) is carrier for color blindness while the male (XY) is normal. The carrier female transmits its one X chromosome with gene for color blindness to one of her sons making him color blind.
Explanation:
Color blindness is X linked recessive disorder and followed the criss-cross inheritance wherein the color blind sons get the gene from their carrier/affected mother while the color blind father would transmit the gene to his daughters along with X chromosome.
Since both the parents are normal, the mother (XcX) should be carrier for the disease to get the color blind son. A cross between carrier mother (XcX) and normal father (XY) would make 50% of their sons color blind.
Yes. Knowing which nucleotide base codon the amino acids is made of, you can "decode" amino acids to the original DNA sequence.
