Biology

Alexxx [7]3 years ago

Answer:

-A single gene can influence multiple traits.

-A single trait can be controlled by multiple genes.

Explanation:

1. A single gene influences two or more phenotypic traits known as a pleiotropic gene.  Pleiotropy is common in the genetics of complex disease.

Example: Phenylketonuria

It is an inherited disorder in which the level of phenylalanine is increased in the human body. This is happening because of the defect in a single gene on chromosome 12 that codes for phenylalanine hydroxylase (enzyme). This enzyme affects multiple system e.g.,  nervous and integumentary systems.

2. A polygenic trait is one whose phenotype is influenced by more than one gene. Polygenic traits are also controlled by environmental factors.

Example: Height, Skin color

These traits show continuous distribution because they are also controlled by many different genes. Epigenetics and environmental factors are also involves.

Mandalian (inherited) traits are controlled by different genes.

In the film Avengers: Infinity War the main villain, Thanos, wipes out half of the life in the universe. His rational for doing
frozen [14]

Answer:

Explanation:

His conclusion is correct. We are overpopulated. Our planet cannot stand double the population it currently has. Waste for one thing is an unsolvable problem with 14 billion people on the planet. We are already in massive trouble with 7 billion.

But the moral principle involved is not correct. Laws have been set up that prevents us from killing each other off. Holocausts have solved nothing but that we are capable of mass murder. The population problem and all it's side effects have not been eradicated.

The Bible records God's attempt at doing what Thanos wanted to do. He saw immediately after the flood that was not the answer. Too many people is one thing. Murdering half is no answer that will work.

Explain how limiting factor may affect your terrarium​
Tpy6a [65]

Answer:

A limiting factor is anything that constrains a population's size and slows or stops it from growing. Some examples of limiting factors are biotic, like food, mates, and competition with other organisms for resources. Others are abiotic, like space, temperature, altitude, and amount of sunlight available in an environment. Limiting factors are usually expressed as a lack of a particular resource. For example, if there are not enough prey animals in a forest to feed a large population of predators, then food becomes a limiting factor. Likewise, if there is not enough space in a pond for a large number of fish, then space becomes a limiting factor. There can be many different limiting factors at work in a single habitat, and the same limiting factors can affect the populations of both plant and animal species. Ultimately, limiting factors determine a habitat's carrying capacity, which is the maximum size of the population it can support.
