<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

All I ask is for ☝️one favor please. Describe how limiting factors has an impact on population of species
andrew-mc [135]

Answer: It can decrease or increase a population of species.

Explanation: Limiting factors include the availability of food, water, shelter, and etc. When a population of species are limited in any of these, they either move or adapt to their environment. So, population tends to decrease. The population that may finds an abundance of resources will find that their numbers tend to increase. This cycle is repeated over and over again.

Hope this helps!!!

Pros:

It is (mostly) based on pyrethrine spray which kills the insects rapidly.

It not poisonous to other animals.

It uses synthetic, natural spray which is safe to use because it breaks down within 10 minutes.

Te technique can reach tall forests.

It can be used in closed spaces ( greenhouses, basements etc).

If adenine didn’t always pair with thymine and guanine didn’t always pair with cytosine, the new DNA ladders wouldn’t always be
zloy xaker [14]

Answer:

they wouldnt be identical because for example Guanine could be paired with thymine in the original DNA strand but could decide to pair with adenine in the replication DNA. that would make a different type of DNA.

Explanation:

DNA replication is a beautiful process. In DNA replication adenine only pairs with thymine and guanine only pairs with cytosine. this ensures that a replication of the DNA will be the same type of DNA.

Replication works like this. Helicase splits open the DNA and each side is copied by DNA polymerase. If let's say the nucleotide bases for side 1 are ATGCGA then the DNA polymerase will pair these with the matching bases TACGCT which will make the same DNA but if each base could pair with any base they want that could create a few different variations of the original DNA. ATGCGA could very well be paired with TCGACA or CGACTA which would created two different types of DNA.
