Explanation:

When there is alteration in the DNA sequence in the chromosomes of an organisms which affects the protein expression and therefore the organism involved,the genetic condition is called mutation. its effects can be positive or negative,But,negative effects is most common.

It can be germline in which the genes is affected,or somatic in which the protein expression of the body cell is affected.

Answer:

The fact that the mice with genetic mutation shows similar patterns of inheritance show that some genes in the mice might be playing a dominant role in  diseases resistance in this animals.This is evident since the patterns were peculiar to  mice with mutated ears,and not observed in normal ears.

Therefore the experiment should be carried out again to confirm the influence of these genes on the resistance

If an animal cell has 18 chromosomes and undergoes mitosis, how many chromosomes would each daughter cell have? if an animal cel
andrew11 [14]
Mitosis (also known as cellular division) is just copying of cells. So the answer would be 18.If the question were about meiosis (sexual division), then the answer would be 9, because that would make 4 daughter cells, each encompassing half the original number of chromosomes (18).

The MOST distinctive feature of ape dentition, which clearly distinguishes apes from Old World monkeys, is
Ugo [173]

The most distinctive feature of ape dentition, which clearly distinguishes apes from Old World monkeys, is a Y-5 molar pattern.

<h3>What is the Y-5 molar pattern?</h3>
  • This is a distinctive type of molar teeth pattern found in apes and hominoids.
  • In this, 5 cusps or raised surfaces are present on the grinding surface of teeth, roughly forming a Y- shape. Therefore, this is also known as Y-5 pattern.
  • Whereas Old world monkeys have only 4 cusps on their lower molars present in a bilophodont pattern.
  • A Y-5 molar is formed when the tooth is divided into different pieces which form the complete structure of the tooth.
  • In bilophodont pattern the tooth is divided into 2 symmetric sections.
  • The dental formula of apes is 2.1.2.3/2.1.2.3 i.e. 2 incisors, 1 canine, 2 premolars, 3 molars.

if a flower were orange would it more likely be pollinated by insects or by the wind give at least one reason for your answer
yan [13]

It would more likely to be pollinated by insects.


This is because the bright color of the petals can attract insects towards the flower thus sticking some pollen grains and transfer them to the stigma (female part of flower).


On the other hand, the color of petals do not really have effect on the wind pollination. Therefore this explains why wind pollinated flowers usually have small or dull colored petals.
