Well first off, Mendel’s law of segregation states that individuals possess two alleles and a parent passes only one allele to his/her offspring. Mendel’s law of independent assortment states the inheritance of one pair of factors (genes) is independent of the inheritance of the other pair. Now Mendel discovered this through his little experiment with the pea plants that showed certain traits through a particular pattern, subsequently becoming the foundation of modern genetics and heredity.

Which statement describes the relationship between the deer and plants on the food web? Tree is consumed by insect, which is con
True [87]

Answer: A.  Autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs.

Explanation: A deer is a heterotroph and a plant is a autotroph. Examples of heterotrophs are animals and humans, and examples of autotrophs would be plants and algae. Therefore, because a deer consumes plants that means that autotrophs supply food for the heterotrophs. And by the way I did the exam myself and got this answer correct!

Suppose a gene has two alleles, one of which is dominant over the other. An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allel
Trava [24]

Answer:

This question is incomplete, the options are:

A. Two copies of the allele that determines phenotype whenever the allele is present

B. Two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent

C. One copy of the allele that determines phenotype when present and one copy of the other allele

D. One copy of each of two alleles that both contribute equally to determining phenotype

The answer is B.

Explanation:

According to Gregor Mendel, a Gene comes in two alternative forms called ALLELES. One allele called the DOMINANT ALLELE is capable of masking the phenotypic expression of the other called the RECESSIVE ALLELE. The dominant allele will always express itself whenever it is present. However, a recessive trait will only be expressed when two alleles for recessiveness occur in the gene.

An individual whose genotype is for the recessive allele will have two copies of the allele whose effect is hidden unless the other allele is absent. This means that in that particular gene, the two present alleles will be recessive alleles.
