True

A genotype is the combination of genes in its DNA of the organism that determines its traits

Explanation:

Gametes from parents contribute different alleles of genes to their offspring. This why gametes carry only one copy of genetic material of the organism. They later fuse to form a zygote with a full genetic copy and capable of developing into an full organism.

Depending on which kind of alleles the parents pass down to the offspring will determine the offspring's genotype. The genotype of the offspring will, on the other hand, affect its phenotype which is the outward characteristic. An example is the sickle cell trait. If both gametes from the parents contribute the recessive alleles of the gene, then the offspring will be homozygous recessive for sickle cell genotype and this will show in the phenotype pf the person who will have sickle cell shaped blood cells.

Compare and contrast the contributions of Neel, Pauling, and Ingram to our understanding of the genetic and molecular basis of s
taurus [48]

He demonstrated that SCD and sickle cell trait were due to the presence of abnormal 8-globin polypeptides in red blood cells. He demonstrated that the electrophhoretic mobility of B-globin from patients with SCD was different from that of healthy individuals. He demonstrated that both parents of multiple patients with SCD had low levels of sickled red blood cells. He hypothesized that SCD was a recessive trait and that the parents of patients with SCD would be heterozygous carriers. He demonstrated that the difference between B-globin polypeptides in individuals who were healthy and those with SCD is an amino acid substitution. He performed a peptide fingerprint analysis on B-globin from individuals with 84 84 and 89 88, which identified the segment of B-globin that was changed by the BS mutation.

How would a loss of chlorophyll most likely affect cellular respirtation in plant cells
Serhud [2]
With less chlorophyll the cells would be less capable of performing photosynthesis, and because of this, the cells would produce less glucose as a product. Furthermore, if all chlorophyll was lost, the plant would die.

Which is a possible reason for the transition of algae from unicellularity to multicellularity? A) the transition to multicellul
galben [10]

A possible reason for the transition of algae from unicellularity to multicellularity would be the evolution of multicellularity allowed algae to develop traits that keep them close to the land and thus a source of nutrients. The correct answer between all the choices given is the last choice. I am hoping that this answer has satisfied your query and it will be able to help you in your endeavor, and if you would like, feel free to ask another question.
