Answer:

option B: Polygenic inheritance

Explanation:

Polygenic inheritance in genetics and plant breeding can be defined as a type of inheritance whereby  one or a single trait or  characteristics(color)  is controlled by multiple genes (two or more genes). it is a continuous variation that depicts a normal distribution curve

the phenotype of a plant or an animal increases if when there is an increase in the number of genes controlling a particular trait or characteristics. polygenic inheritance are non-Mendelian form of inheritance in  nature and a  single trait expressed is as a result of the interaction of many or multiple genes that are quantitative genes in nature. examples are weight, skin color, height, e.t.c

Sonja [21]

Answer:

Topogenic sequences share a series of structural features, and thereby computational algorithms can be used to predict these protein-membrane segments  

Explanation:

Topogenic sequences are protein segments formed by alpha-helical transmembrane domains, which are required for the insertion of membrane proteins. These domains share a series of well-defined features: they are composed of segments of about 20 hydrophobic amino-acid residues. In consequence, computational algorithms can be designed to identify protein patterns that fulfill these structural requirements (i.e. segments with a length of 20 residues, hydrophobic level, etc). The models assign a similarity threshold (threshold value) that predict if the similarity level of the protein pattern is good enough to detect a topogenic segment.

If a polynomial function f(x) has roots 4-13i and 5, the factor of f(x) must be_______.
labwork [276]
So the problem ask to choose among the following choices that has the factor of f(x) if a polynomial function f(x) has a roots 4-13i and 5, base on that, the answer is not in the choices, base on my computation, the answer is f(x) = (x-y+13i)(x-5), I hope you are satisfied with my answer

What is the purpose of transcription and translation?
tresset_1 [31]
Answer: The purpose of transcription is to move the information from the DNA to the ribosomes with the help of mRNA. Then we have translation it occurs on ribosomes and its purpose is to assemble amino acids into proteins.

Explanation:
the steps of transcription:
1. unzipping the DNA
2. build the RNA molecule
3. detach the mRNA molecule
4. rewinds the DNA molecule
If u want the steps of translation tell me :)

When you hear the term mutation, you usually think of change. But how do mutations influence traits that may be inherited?
lana [24]

Hereditary mutation - may be passed to another generation, occurs in gametes, variation that may enhance survival.

Somatic mutation - not passed from generation to generations, occurs in body cells.

Both- changes in DNA.

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

Mutations are defined as sudden changes in DNA that takes place by changing a particular nucleotide or a portion of DNA, or even a whole chromosome which has potential to change characters of an organism. Mutation was first proposed by Hugo de Vries who is also known as the Father of Mutation Theory.

Mutations can occur in any cell of body. It may occur in somatic cells, or in germ mother cells. But the mutations that occur in germ mother cells are actually the mutations that are carried forward by the gametes into next generations. Mutation in somatic cells get obliterated as the organism dies. And the Mutation in gamete cells are those mutations which are capable to cause variations in progenies which can led to better survival of the progenies.
