<h2>Genetic diversity </h2>
Explanation:
If the environment changes, the species runs the risk of not having the genetic diversity to be adaptable to that change and could go extinct
- Genetic diversity is the diversity or genetic variability within species
- The huge variety of different gene sets defines an individual or a whole population's ability to tolerate stress from any given environmental factor
- While some individuals might be able to tolerate an increased load of pollutants in their environment, others carrying different genes might suffer from infertility or even die under the exact same environmental conditions;the former will continue to live in the environment the latter will either have to leave it or die
- Any change in the environment - natural or human induced causes a selection of events that only the fittest survive
- In case of elephant seals,overhunting reduces the sum of genes available,thus leaving behind a population that is less capable of tolerating any further natural or human disturbances in environment
- The loss of genetic diversity within a species can result in the loss of useful and desirable traits
The color of beef is determined by myoglobin because these cells are actually responsible for transporting oxygen-rich molecules to the the tissues of the animal. This characteristic gives it the color that it has and is very abundant in large organisms like cattles.
Answer:
b. Craig is right and doesn't have to pay child support.
Explanation:
ABO blood group is controlled by three alleles. IA and IB are codominant to each other and both are dominant over i allele. IAIA and IAi produce A blood group. IBIB and IBi produce B blood group. ii produces O blood group.
Susan's son has O blood group so his genotype must be ii. He got one "i" allele from Susan and one "i" allele from his father. Craig's genotype is IAIA so there is no chance that he could have passed on "i" allele to Susan's son. Hence Craig is not his father and does not need to pay child support.
