Answer:

An autosomal dominant gene is one that occurs on an autosomal (non-sex determining) chromosome. As it is dominant, the phenotype it gives will be expressed even if the gene is heterozygous.  

The chances of an autosomal dominant disorder being inherited are 50% if one parent is heterozygous (NL) for the mutant gene and the other is homozygous for the normal (NN), or 'wild-type', gene. This is because the offspring will always inherit a normal gene from the parent carrying the wild-type genes, and will have a 50% chance of inheriting the mutant gene from the other parent. If the mutant gene is inherited, the offspring will be heterozygous for the mutant gene, and will suffer from the disorder. If the parent with the disorder is homozygous for the gene, the offspring produced from mating with an unaffected parent will always have the disorder.

Iced tea's energy increases while the energy of the glass decreases.

<h3>What is energy?</h3>

Energy is the capacity for doing work. It may exist in potential, kinetic, thermal, electrical, chemical, nuclear, or other forms

Iced tea's energy increases while the energy of the glass decreases because the ice is getting warmer so the glass is also getting warmer. meaning that the glass is decreasing in energy while the ice tea is increasing in energy.

Hence, iced tea's energy increases while the energy of the glass decreases.

Answer:

Horizontal gene transfer

Explanation:

Horizontal gene transfer or lateral gene transfer is when an organisms of different species can acquire a gene from a different one. This process is well understood in bacteria and is responsible for the appearence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Bacteria can take DNA fragments through a process known as transformation, but this is less common in eukaryotes. Gene transfer agents like viruses could carry the gene from one specimen to the other. Another way could be Horizontal transposon transfer but the exact mechanisms behind it are still under research.

STALIN [3.7K]

Answer:

multicellular.

Explanation:

Organisms exhibit various levels of organization of the body. It includes cellular level, tissue level, organ level, organ system level of organization. The unicellular organisms have single cells as their bodies and therefore do not have the genes that regulate the various parts of the body rather than the individual cells. Prokaryotic are unicellular organisms only and do not have multiple cells in their bodies. Therefore, the mentioned genes are the regulatory genes that coordinate the functioning of various parts of the body of a multicellular organism. For instance, the genes involved in regulation of blood glucose levels.
