Answer:
A (Genotype)
Explanation:
All organisms possess genetic material which contains information required for certain functions/traits. This genetic material is stored as DNA and contains certain segment that encodes functional products (proteins) called GENE. The make-up of the genes responsible for a particular characteristics in an organism is called the GENOTYPE. Genes occur in variant forms called ALLELES, which are inherited from each parent.
These alleles are responsible for the varying expression of a particular trait e.g. allele T can be responsible for Tallness while the variant form, allele t can be responsible for shortness. In this example, we can see that height is the trait here but the different alleles encode varying expression of it. The combination of the alleles received by both parents, which collectively determines the trait to be expressed is the GENOTYPE.
N.B: The genotype refers to the physically invisible genes not the expressed trait itself, which is the phenotype.
In this case, an allele (gene variant) is responsible for the resistance of Red Blood cells and regulates oxygen carried by them. The phenotype is the resistance that the RBC's possess and its reduced ability to carry oxygen but the combination of alleles responsible for that trait is the GENOTYPE.
Using the DNA to find out where the ivory comes from, Dr Wasser is able to work with law enforcement to know where to focus their protection measures. Having law enforcement in concentrated area that have been known to be poached can hopefully help prevent illegal poaching. Hope this helped :)
Answer:
The correct answer is option B: "50%".
Explanation:
The classical Mendel's Law of Segregation states that each individual has two alleles, one that is passed from each parent. In this example the W gene has a W dominant allele and one w recessive allele. If a Ww heterozygous male is mated with a ww homozygous recessive female there is a 50% chance that the offspring will be heterozygous. This result considering that Gregor Mendel's rules dictate that the offspring's genotype of the aforementioned crossing will be 50% Ww and 50% ww.
-3x + 3(2x - 6) = 6
-3x +6x - 18 = 6
3x - 18 = 6
3x = 6 + 18
3x = 24
x = 8
hope this helped, blessing! :)
