The number of protons in an atom determines the element (C). These protons reside in the nucleus of the atom. These elements are listed on the periodic table. Each element on the periodic table has a different atomic number or number of protons in the nucleus of an atom. Protons, neutrons and electrons are the three main particles that make up an atom. Protons are positively charged, electrons are negatively charged and neutrons are neutral i.e. they have no charge. In order to find the number of protons, neutrons and electrons in an atom, you can look up this information on the periodic table.

Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon<br> flowers as an example.
oee [108]

Answer:

Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.

Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.

For example, in snapdragons:

The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.

However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.

Hope this helped!
