Answer:

Option A, Gene Selection

Explanation:

Gene selection is a process by which some specific trait with in an organism become more extensive than other traits. As in the given case , grey color cats are being produced more frequently in the coming generation even when two black cat species interbreed. This means somewhere the two black cats have some other color allele (not expressed earlier)  which expresses itself more extensively in the later generation.

Hence , option A is the correct answer

Receptors that are especially important for helping a person maintain balance are located in the (A) gyrus cinguli (B) inner ear
Lera25 [3.4K]

The receptors that aid in allowing a person to maintain balance are located within the inner ear.

The human ability to walk upright without falling, and a wide variety of other tasks that we perform as all thanks to our ability to maintain balance. This ability is given to us by structures located deep within the inner ear.

The inner ear is located deep within the lateral side of the head. This ear contains 3 semicircular canals or ducts, which are tiny structures filled with liquid. Each of these canals has an expansion at its end known as the ampulla, which holds within it the very small cellular balance receptors called crista.

Three different alleles (c1, c2, and c3) at the c locus exist in a hypothetical population of juniper trees. If the frequency of
prisoha [69]

Answer:

d

Explanation:

When considering the frequency of the potential alleles of a gene in a population, the total must add up to 1. Think of it like percentages. an allele frequency of 0.3 means 30% of the population carry it (out of a possible 100%).

We know that the frequency of c1 is 0.3. Lets take each option and see if it can be true

a) cannot be less than 0.3.  - false. It <em>could </em>be less than 0.3. For example, it could be 0.1, meaning the frequency of allele c3 would be 0.6 (because 0.3 + 0.1 + 0.6 = 1)

b) cannot be greater than 0.3. - false. It <em>could </em>be greater than 0.3. For example, it could be 0.5, meaning the frequency of allele c3 would have to be 0.2 (because 0.3 + 0.5 + 0.2 = 1)

c) is 0.7.  - false. It <em>can't </em>be 0.7, because that would mean that the frequency of c3 is 0. (0.7 + 0.3 = 1)

d) cannot be greater than 0.7. - true. It <em>cannot </em>be greater than 0.7, because  that would mean that the frequency of c3 is 0. (0.7 + 0.3 = 1)

The non-mendelian inheritance pattern observed in snail coiling is most related to ______.
monitta

The  non Mendelian inheritance pattern observed in snail coiling is most related to maternal inheritance.

<h3>Why is genetic inheritance important? </h3>

Genetic inheritance is necessary for evolutionary change. It describes how genes are passed from one generation to the next.It might consequently initially seem surprising then, that genetic inheritance itself is rarely inculded in life research.  

The phenotype controlled by organelle genes exhibit maternal inheritance.The classic phenotype which exhibits maternal effects is coiling direction of snail shell.The phenotype that is seen in the offspring is controlled by the genotype of the mother.
