“DNA’s power is global; it has orchestrated the history of life on earth for three and a half billion years. Yet its touch is in

timate; it determines your chances of getting cancer, the amount of cholesterol in your father’s blood, and the color of your daughter’s eyes. Discoveries about its actions have sparked a molecular revolution whose consequences affect every corner of both pure and applied biological research.” (Levine and Suzuki, The Secret of Life pg 1)
“DNA is like a computer program but far, far more advanced than any software ever created.”
― Bill Gates, The Road Ahead

Bill Gates states that DNA is like a computer program. Would Joseph Levine and David Suzuki agree with his analogy? Why or why not?

They would definitely agree with this analogy because they are both trying to emphasize the complexity and ingenuity of the DNA.

However, <span>Joseph Levine and David Suzuki see the DNA as much more than a  program as they highlight the marvelous and the poetic nature of the DNA referring to both small-scale and personal aspect of its effect on individuals and also the large-scale effect on the evolution on all life on Earth.</span>

If the first low tide occurs at 5:10 a.m. on Friday when will the next low tide occur​
jonny [76]

The correct answer is - 5:35 PM on Friday.

The low tides, as well as the high tides, occur two times in a lunar day, on exactly every half a lunar day passed. A lunar day is 24 hours and 50 minutes long, so every next low tide, or high tide, appears after 12 hours and 25 minutes after the previous one. In this situation we have a low tide that has appeared at 5:10 AM on Friday, so in order to calculate when the other low tide will appear we need to add 12 hours and 25 minutes on it, and that will gives the information that the next low tide will appear at 5:35 PM on Friday.

In mice, black is dominant to white color and color is determined by a single gene. Two black mice are crossed. They produce 2 b
Marrrta [24]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

If black is dominant to white color and crossing with parents produced some progeny which were black and a white progeny then it simply indicates that parents were heterozygous for the trait even if phenotypically they appeared black. A cross between parents is shown as under:

                              Parents

                              Bb x Bb

Progeny:      BB      Bb     Bb     bb

BB and Bb allelic combinations produced a black mice while bb combinations produced white mice.

Now the subsequent cross between one of the parents and white off spring is shown as under:

                               Bb x bb

Progeny:         Bb    Bb    bb    bb

It is clear from the cross above that the progeny with Bb allelic combinations will be black while with bb combinations they will be white. 2 out of the 4 progeny are genotypically bb that means they are white i.e. 50% progeny are white.

Additive alleles account for the hereditary influence on the phenotype in a cumulative way.

Alleles are nothing but variations of a gene. that simply gives variation to the traits.

Whereas, Additive alleles are alleles that contribute to most observable traits, such as height, weight, hair color, eye color,and complexion. Therefore, they account for the hereditary influence on the phenotype.
