Answer: Incomplete dominance

Explanation: Incomplete dominance is a type of inheritance, specifically a type of intermediate inheritance when a dominant allele, or form of a gene, does not completely mask the effects of a recessive allele, and the organism’s resulting physical appearance shows a blending of both alleles. The result is a phenotype (expression) where the expressed physical trait is a combination of both of the phenotypes that belong to the alleles. One allele doesn’t mask or dominate the other alleles in this instance. It is also called semi-dominance or partial dominance.

In short, incomplete dominance is when neither gene is fully dominant, and the result is a brand new trait.

The Punnett square shows genetic inheritance as a simple model with only two different versions of alleles: dominant and recessive. In this simple relationship, dominant alleles always override the recessive alleles to be expressed in the organism’s appearance or phenotype. It was created by Gregor Mendel and was important because it contradicted popular ideas at the time that the traits of the parents were simply permanently blended within their offspring. However, modern biologists have discovered that inheritance isn’t as simple as this model would suggest.

An example of incomlete dominance in humans would be hypercholesterolemia.

Mazyrski [523]
A molecule that functions in maintaining and/or reproducing life is called the molecule of life. The four molecules of life are proteins, carbohydrates, lipids, and nucleic acids. Each of the four groups is vital for every single organism on Earth. Without any of these four molecules, a cell and organism would not be able to live. They structurally or functionally for cells and mostly they are important in both ways.

(Q002) Review the vertebral column and individual vertebrae from Exercise 3 (p. 166 of your lab manual). What similarities and d
Alexandra [31]

Answer and Explanation:

1. The biggest similarity between the main types of vertebrae is the location where they are found since they are all established on the body's back, precisely on the midline of the back. The main differences, on the other hand, are related to the size and weight of each of them.

2. The similarities exist because all the vertebrae have to promote the support of the body, the back being the most appropriate place for them to establish themselves.

3. The differences are related to the function and type of support that each vertebrae promotes, the higher the level of systemization, the larger and thicker the vertebrae must be.

4. The caudal vertebrae should be similar to the vertebrae of the coccix, since a tail would be a representation of elongation of the coccix. We can reach this conclusion through the analysis of images that promote the visualization of this area of the body.
