The question is incomplete. The complete question is:

Question: A gene for corn has two alleles, one for yellow kernels and one for white kernels. Cross pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. Which term best describes the relationship between the two alleles?

a) Incomplete dominance

b) Genetic recombination

c) Chimerism

d) Codominance

Answer:

d) codominance

Explanation:

Codominance is a pattern of inheritance when none of the alleles of a gene is able to mask the expression of the other allele of the same gene. When the two alleles are present together in a heterozygous genotype, both are expressed and the phenotype of the heterozygote is different from both the pure breeding parents. In the given example, cross-pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in the ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. This means that the heterozygote expresses both the allele for the corn color. Therefore, it represents codominance.

Answer:

More information required

Explanation:

Is there a picture you forgot to post with the question?

In the problem you mention, which I assume comes from the study of finches in the Galapagos, some birds evolved to have different beaks, depending on the food available. Depending on what kind of seeds there are, different beak sizes were selected for, with those with the right fit eventually winning out over the rest on the individual islands.

Sladkaya [172]

Answer:

P wave and R wave

Atrial contraction = P wave

Ventricular contraction = R wave

Explanation:

The behavior of the frog heart from force recording  can be classified into ; P wave and R wave.

utilizing the ECG ( Electrocardiogram) data the aspect of the force recording that is due to atrial contractions is the ; P wave while the force recording that is due to ventricular contractions is the ; R wave  the ventricular contractions is also known as QRS

ECG is used to record the electrical activities of a heart at rest
