The ABO blood type is determined by different alleles for a gene that codes for an enzyme. How do the mutations in the alleles l

Answer:

Mutations arise as a result of changes in the normal DNA sequence either by mistake or environmental factors. Mutations in the ABO allele can lead to different blood types other than that which is expected as a result of the parental genetic makeup.

Explanation:

The ABO gene resides on chromosome 9 and it has 3 alleles- the A allele, which encodes glycosyltransferase which makes the A antigen, the B allele which encodes a different glycosyltransferase that adds d-galactose producing the B antigen and the O allele which is a deletion that results in unmodified H antigen with no surface molecules

The combination of 2 alleles one from each parent results in different blood types.

A x A                             A

A x B                             AB

A x O                            A

B x O                             B

O x O                             O

Which conclusion about the meaning Of Y is correct if the allele combination Yy is for yellow seeds?
vaieri [72.5K]
<span>I can infer that the importance of the Y is yellow and prevailing is the allele mix Yy is for yellow seeds. Yy implies that the phenotype demonstrated will mirror the capital letter, or the overwhelming one, which ends up being yellow. In the allele combination Yy, the Y is more dominant over y. If the combination equals yellow seeds, therefore, Y must be yellow seeds</span>

Using Grime’s Triangle as a framework, discuss how natural selection and trade-offs work to form the niche of species.
Jobisdone [24]

Natural selection affects the scope of the niche of a given species. Moreover, trade-offs are associated with differences in traits that also may affect the niche of a species.

<h3>Natural selection and trade-offs </h3>

Natural selection refers to the differential survival or reproduction of individuals in particular environmental conditions.

The different niches occupied by species are mainly a consequence of differential trade-offs among species, i.e., by differential phenotypic features that generate negative correlations among species.

Grime’s Triangle is based on the associations (trade-off) between adaptation to productivity and/or competition, stressful environments (habitats) and disturbance.
