ee... As buds give rise by growth to fresh buds, and these if vigorous, branch out and overtop on all sides many a feebler branch, so by generation I believe it has been with the great Tree of Life, which fills with its dead and broken branches the crust of the earth, and covers the surface with its ever branching and beautiful ramifications."

The full statement is this: In 1859, Charles Darwin wrote, 'The ........................... ...... At the based of the evolutionary tree of all life is AN ORGANISM THAT IS A COMMON ANCESTOR TO ALL LIVING ORGANISMS.

In biology, evolution has to do with gradual but constant changes in the overall form of living organism. Scientists believe that all life forms came from a common ancestor; it is through the process of evolution and natural selection that primitive life forms developed into higher forms of living organisms. In short, what the statement given in the question is trying to say is that ALL LIVING ORGANISMS ARE RELATED BECAUSE THEY HAVE A COMMON ROOT (A COMMON ANCESTOR).

What explanation does this image tell about reproduction and variation?
Zigmanuir [339]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

First, the image tells that chromosomes are made up of genes or that genes are located on chromosomes. It further showed that genes are translated as proteins in the cell and this protein respectively control the expression of traits.

Secondly, it also showed that during sexual reproduction, the offspring produced usually have the same proteins as the parent and therefore have exactly the same traits as the parent. Only one parent is needed for asexual reproduction.

<u>However, two parents are needed for sexual reproduction where each parent donate chromosomes containing gene to the genome of their offpsring. The mixture of genes ensures that the offspring look different from the parent.</u>

<em>The image further showed that asexual reproduction does not lead to any variation while sexual reproduction leads to variation of the offpsring from their parents.</em>

You want to determine whether short wings in fruit flies are the result of a dominant or recessive mutation. You cross a short-w
Natalka [10]

Answer:

a dominant mutation

Explanation:

A monohybrid testcross is a cross-breeding experiment used to determine if an individual exhibiting a dominant phenotype is homo-zygous dominant or heterozygous for a particular phenotypic trait (in this case, wing length). In a monohybrid testcross, a 1:1 phenotypic ratio shows that the dominant parental phenotype was a heterozygote for a single gene that has complete dominance. Moreover, a 3:1 ratio in the F2 is expected of a cross between heterozygous F1 individuals, which means that 75% of individuals with short wings have the dominant allele that masks the expression of the long-wing trait (i.e. the recessive allele).
