Variations, traits
Not all members of a species are the same. Every species exhibit variations. Traits, like eye color, are passed from parent to offspring.
Genetic variation is the subtle differences in the DNA sequence in each individual’s genomes. Genetic variation results in various forms or alleles of genes that determines distinct traits such as eye color, skin color, shape of face, and hair color that can be passed on from parents to offspring.
Answer:
The cell
Explanation:
<em>The smallest or most specific level of organization that all living organisms (including myself and my neighbors) have in common is </em><em>the cell.</em>
This is in accordance with the cell theory which has three basic components, including:
1. The cell is the basic unit of life
2. All living organisms are made up cells
3. Cells arose from pre-exsiting cells.
<u>Other levels of organisation include tissues which are group of cells specialized for a certain function, organs which are group of tissues serving similar function, and systems which are group of organs working together as a unit.</u>
Answer:
The genotype for each of the parents must be
parent 1 : Gg
parent 2 : Gg
Explanation:
Please note that a dominant trait is a trait that is expressed phenotypically in a heterozygous state, while a recessive trait is a trait that can only be expressed in a homozygous state.
Now, since gray face (G) for Oompa Loompas is dominant, and orange face (g) is recessive, for an offspring to be orange faced, it means that the genotype of the offspring must be 'gg'. Also, since both parent contribute an allele in the pair of alleles in the offspring, both parents must have the recessive (g) in their genotype. Moreover, we are told that both parents are gray-faced, meaning that their genotypes were 'Gg' and 'Gg'. To confirm, let me do the cross
G g
G GG Gg
g Gg gg
from the cross above, we find out that out of 4 offspring, 3 were gray face (GG, Gg ) while one was orange face (gg).
