<h2>Maximum alleles</h2>

Explanation:

Maximum number of alleles that a person can carry is two

  • A gene may have multiple alleles but a person can carry only two of those alleles because chromosomes exists in pairs
  • Humans are called diploid organisms because they have two alleles at each genetic locus, with one allele inherited from each parent,each pair of alleles represents the genotype of a specific gene
  • Gene determines a particular trait whereas alleles determines the variations in which a given trait can be expressed
  • Human trait that is controlled by a gene with multiple alleles is blood group however only two of the alleles can be present in a single organism;ABO system of blood groups is controlled by three alleles, only two of which are present in an individual

anyanavicka [17]

Answer:

This experiment proved that DNA replicated semiconservatively; half the original polynucleotide is conserved in each of the two copies

Explanation:

Semi-conservative mode of replication means that the two strands of DNA unwind from each other, and each of themacts as a template for synthesis of a new, complementary strand. As a result, two formed DNA moleculesc ontain one original strand and one new strand.

Meselson and Stahl experiment showed this model by labeling the DNA of bacteria across generations using isotopes of nitrogen ( patterns of DNA labeling showed the mode of replication).

Why does the amount of heat received by places far from the equator become less?
Ainat [17]
If the Earth were a disk with its surface perpendicular to the rays of sunlight, each point on it would receive the same amount of radiation. <span> However, the Earth is a sphere and aside from the part closest to the sun, where the rays of sunlight are perpendicular to the ground, its surface tilts with respect to the incoming rays of energy with the regions furthest away. Hope this answers the question.</span>

What happens when ATP is converted to ADP?Energy is stored in bonds.Energy is released from bonds.Energy remains in the same.The
crimeas [40]

Energy stored in food can be used by cells to add a phosphate group to ADP to make ATP. This cycling of ATP to ADP occurs in a metabolic process called cellular respiration. phosphate group breaks, and energy is released. ATP becomes ADP, and the cycle of storing and releasing energy continues until the cell dies.
