Biology
1 answer:
forsale [732]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The presence of freckles in a individual, or predisposition to have them, is a trait that is inherited with an autosomal dominant pattern, and is not related to sex-linked inheritance.

Explanation:

Freckles are accumulations of melanin in the skin, which form small reddish or light brown spots, predominantly in white-skinned people.

<u> The melanocortin receptor gene</u> undergoes a change that gives rise to a variant - which is phenotypically expressed in the presence of freckles - whose inheritance has been determined to be autosomal dominant.

<u>Under no circumstances is the transmission of the gene that determines the presence of freckles linked to sex</u>, because is an autosomal trait, as is hair, eye or skin color.

Why were the Smith and Cuvier discoveries that similar groups of fossils in distant rock layers could be correlated such a major
tamaranim1 [39]
This was a major breakthrough in geology because it meant that sedimentary strata in diverse parts of a country or area could be correlated as belonging to the same formation which means they were formed at the same time historically so helped to put them in the correct sequence. If these strata contained valuable minerals like coal then it could aid in the search for coal. This helped William 'Strata' Smith in England to create his first geological map in the world of a whole country.
