Shell color in clams is thought to be controlled by three different genes (each with two alleles). Shell coloration runs a range

between pure white and dark purple. The addition of dominant alleles makes the shells more purple in coloration, while the addition of recessive alleles makes the shells more white. The majority of clams have shells that are medium purple, whereas the other colors are present, but in fewer numbers. This is an example of:A. quantitative traitsB. incomplete dominanceC. codominanceD. mendelian inheritance

The correct answer is A. Quantitative traits

Explanation:

In genetics, quantitative traits refer to traits or phenotypes (observable traits) that depend on many factors including multiple genes and actions in the environment. These traits differ from other traits because the traits tend to be more diverse in a population. In the case presented, the shell color in clams is an example of a quantitative trait because this phenotype is the result of three different each and each gene contains two alleles which means the color depends on many factors. Additionally, as most quantitative traits there is a higher variation in the phenotype considering clams can have different hues.

At the end of meiosis, there are _______ cells with _______the amount of dna.
Natasha2012 [34]
At the end of meiosis, there are FOUR cells with HALF the amount of DNA.

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that produces genetically different daughter cells. Unlike mitosis, which produces genetically identical cells, meiosis goes through 2 divisions that leads to 4 daughter cells.

In meiosis, the parent cell first duplicates all its genetic material, just like what they do in mitosis. Then it divides, leading 2 genetically identical daughter cells. Mitosis ends here, but in meiosis, the 2 cells divides themselves again, but without duplicating their DNA. This leads to the 4 daughter cells with only half of the number of chromosomes.

We call these cells haploid. They're usually common in gametes. For example, a normal body cell in human has 46 chromosome, but in the cells after meiosis, they only have 23.

When using muzzleloading firearms Fg, FFg, FFFg and FFFFg are examples of what?
lana [24]

Answer:

B, Different granulation sizes of black powder

Explanation:

A muzzleloader firearm is a firearm that has a muzzle through which the propeller and the projectile is loaded from. For muzzleloader firearms,  Fg, FFg, FFFg and FFFFg are examples of Different granulation sizes of black powder. The number of F's represent how the black powder is grounded, FFFFg is the smoothest and is used for muzzleloading rifles of 45 caliber and smaller. FFG is less smooth and is used in muzzleloading rifles larger than 45 caliber while FG is the most coarse used in large bore shotguns.
