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.

Mechanical stress applied to bone __________ osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress __________
iren2701 [21]

Mechanical stress applied to bone increases osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress decreases osteoblast activity.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are cells , that are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for formation of bones and bone matrix.

Whenever a mechanical stress is applied on the bones , a series of reactions are triggered. As a result the activities of osteoblast increases to synthesize more and more bone matrix to provide strength.

Again on the other hand a decrease in mechanical causes a decrease in the activities of the osteoblasts.

Jessica has just moved from Orlando, Florida, to Denver, Colorado. What condition is she now experiencing that is stimulating th
sergij07 [2.7K]

Answer: Hypoxia

Explanation: hypoxia induces the production of erythropoietin, which is a hormome produced by the kidneys to help increase the productiom of red blood cells in the body. In Jessica's case, she might be experiencing this due to a change in ultitide whereby her body needs more oxygen than it originally gets (crllular hypoxis), therefore, her body signals for more red blood cell production. The erythropoietin will then be secreted and more red blood cells will be formed by the bone marrow through the hormonal action.
