<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

What did Jean-Baptiste Lamarck believe about traits such as large muscles that are acquired during one's lifetime?
Kipish [7]

<span>The answer is they can be passed on to offspring.</span>

<span>
</span>

<span>In his theory, Lamarck proposed how species adapted to the changed environment by passing down acquired physical traits to the next generation. But, after Charles Darwin published his theory of evolution, Lamarck's theory was rejected. Now, it is known that acquired physical traits could not be inherited and epigenetics is a good proof for that.</span>

Describe the structure and functions of the portions of eukaryotic dna that do not encode protein or rna.
yawa3891 [41]
<span>A section of DNA that is not expressed in the gene product is called intron. The final messenger RNA molecule is called exon. Eukaryotic cells have the enzyme to cut off the intron section to produce a continuous strand of mRNA so that protein synthesis can occur. Prokaryotic cells can express the information to produce protein directly as the mRNA does not contain intron. </span>
