Answer:

d. A gene from an organism can theoretically be expressed by any other organism.

Explanation:

If we talk about genetic code, it comprises the rules through which genetic material of an organism like RNA or DNA is changed into a functional protein through the process of translation.

Every gene is composed of sequence of nucleotide in set of three called codon. Each codon codes for one amino acid for example CCT codes for Proline.

So, coming to the the question that based on the uniformity of genetic code we can conclude that is a genetic codon codes for one amino acid in one organism like human, without any doubt the same genetic codon will code for same amino acid in any other organism like monkey. why? Again because codon is universal.

So based on these facts the best option that can be concluded is A gene from an organism can theoretically be expressed by any other organism.

Hope it helps!

What do you call the non-Mendelian inheritance pattern that states that both traits are dominant and both appear in the organism
dangina [55]

Answer:A. Codominance

Explanation:

This is a type of genetic inheritance where neither of the genes is dominant over another. Thus both pair of the gene are expressed on the same LOCUS equally with none masking another. Therefore an   individual receive both  allele of a heterozygous  gene, and have equal phenotypic expression

An example is the AB  blood group in man, where both allele present on the same locus are fully expressed with no one dominant over another.

Incomplete dominance refers to a blend of  alleles where one does  not have  full dominance over another another, therefore gives a new phenotypic expression different from both alleles.

e.g  pink flower allele in four o'clock flower.
