Answer:

This phenomenon is called as Penetrance.

Explanation:

  • Sometimes a phenotype is not expressed even in the presence of dominant allele.
  • Pentrance is the probability that the a particular trait would express.
  • It is the extent to which a particular trait could be expressed in the phenotype.
  • Extra digits on finger or toes and Osteogenesis imperfecta are examples of pentrance.

nikdorinn [45]

Answer:

Lightly pigmented people tend to be at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency

Explanation:

BACKGROUND KNOWLEDGE:

Human skin is the largest organ of the body which makes boundary line between environment and internal conditions.  Human skin cell produces pigment called melanin when ever it is subjected to Sun. More the melanin pigment produced more will be the skin darkens. Ultraviolet (UV) radiations also come from Sun and responsible for more pigmentation.

ANSWER EXPLANATION:

According to the question darkly pigmentation only occurs when their is high level of UV radiations. High level of UV radiations are also responsible for Vitamin D production.

People with lightly pigmented means that there environment has low level of UV radiations which are the requirement of Vitamin D production. Hence due to low UV radiations peoples with light pigmentation's are also be at higher risk of vitamin D deficiency

____________,inherited traits that increase an organism's chance of survival, also determine an organism's niche.
expeople1 [14]

Adaptation, inherited traits that increase an organism's chance of survival, also determine an organism's niche.

Adaptations are features or behaviors exhibited by organisms and are usually common in a population.  Adaptations evolve  by natural selection and they fit organisms to their environment. Adaptations have functional roles and may be physiological, structural or behavioral. The long necks of giraffes for feeding in the tops of trees, and the long canine teeth of carnivores are examples of adaptation.

Given the mRNA sequence below, what would tRNA anticodons be in response? A-U-G-C-C-U-A-C-G-G-G-G-G-C-C-A
Lesechka [4]

Answer:

U-A-C-G-G-A-U-G-C--C-C-C-C-G-G-U

Explanation:

The mRNA (messenger RNA) is produced via the process of TRANSCRIPTION, which is the first stage of gene expression in living cells. The mRNA sequence formed is further read in the ribosomes in a group of three nucleotides called CODONS. This reading is done by another type of RNA called transfer RNA (tRNA).

The tRNA uses a set of three nucleotide bases that are complementary to that of the mRNA codons called ANTICODON. The anticodons are complementary to the mRNA codon i.e. A on the mRNA sequence will be read and recognized by U on the tRNA anticodon.

Hence, given the mRNA sequence: A-U-G-C-C-U-A-C-G-G-G-G-G-C-C-A, the tRNA anticodons that will read this sequence will be: U-A-C-G-G-A-U-G-C--C-C-C-C-G-G-U
