Phenotype - short , Tall
Genotype - tt (short) , TT or Tt (tall)
<u>Explanation:</u>
In Mendelian Genetics, <em>Dominant traits</em> are represented by capital letters and <em>Recessive traits</em> are represented by small letters.
So if height is the character considered, then the traits would be short and tall.
Tall is the dominant phenotype and short is the recessive phenotype.
The alleles of the gene for height are T and t.
The genotype for Tall trait is TT or Tt.
The genotype for short trait is tt.
Therefore, the symbol representation of phenotype (Tall) is TT or Tt and for phenotype (short) is tt.
The tricuspid valve has three cusps that are essential components of the valve. (Hence "tri-" in tricuspid. ) The semilunar valve is called semilunar because each semilunar valve has cusps in the shape of half moons. Hope this helps to contrast their structure!
Answer:
As mammals grow, they stop producing lactase.
Explanation:
Mammals consume their mother's milk during the first stage of life. Milk has a sugar called lactose. Lactose is a disaccharide formed by the union of one molecule of glucose and another of galactose. To absorb it our digestive system releases an enzyme (lactase) that breaks the union between galactose and glucose. As mammals grow, they stop producing this enzyme, which makes lactose indigestible. As a result, ingesting milk may cause diarrhea, gas and bloating.
Answer:
Explanation:
A modern scientific inquiry system uses the scientific method to understand and explain the natural phenomenon.
The scientific theory involves various steps which begin with making an observation , asking questions, doing background research and proposing a hypothesis. The hypothesis is tested through experiments which prove or disproves the hypothesis which when established form laws and theory.
The Mendel followed the same approach unaware of the scientific method and performed experiments to answer the scientific question of how traits are controlled and passed on in generations. He analysed the conclusions which were proved after his death by other scientists and framed the biological laws called Mendel's law of inheritance.
Thus, Mendel's inquiries followed the same steps of the scientific method.
