Why do multiple and lethal alleles often result in modifications of the classic Mendelian monohybrid and dihybrid ratios?

Biology
1 answer:
allochka39001 [22]3 years ago
3 0

Answer:

Multiple alleles can modify the classical Mendelian ratio by increasing the number of phenotypes.  

For example, in a monohybrid cross, Mendel gets only 2 phenotypes however, in ABO blood groups (a classical example of multiple alleles) there are four phenotypes present in a population.

Lethal alleles are the alleles which when expressed result in the death of an organism. These alleles can be dominant, recessive or conditional (depends on interaction with another gene).  

Thus, lethal allele reduces the ratio of the phenotype associated with it by affecting the survival of the organism.

For example, lethal yellow allele in mice results changes the phenotype ratio from 3:1 to 2:1

Environmental change has to do with any kind of alteration that occurs in the natural environment.

<h3>What is environmental change?</h3>

The term environmental change has to do with any kind of alteration that occurs in the natural environment. These changes may be caused by a lot of factors and they may lead to changes in the kind organism that are found in the habitat.

Thus, the types of environmental changes demonstrated are;

African elephants have been hunted to near extension to obtain ivory - Human exploitation

The eruption of Mount Saint Helens destroyed some populations of conifers - Natural disaster

An infection with fungus reduced the population of the North Africa elm trees - Diseases

Increasing global temperatures have affected the migration patterns of humpback whales - Climate change

andrezito [222]
HOXC8 gene encodes a protein that has a role in the development of the cartilage. This gene is a member of the HOX group gene that enables the differentiation of the body segments. These genes encode for transcription factors that activate the expression of other specific genes guiding the differentiation of body segments into specific structures.

A hiker is climbing up a steep path. Halfway up, he finds the muscles in his
scoray [572]

Answer:

A. He has a large buildup of lactate in his muscles.

Explanation:

Ideally, our body cells, via the process of aerobic cellular respiration, need oxygen to break down glucose. However, during rigorous activities or exercises, oxygen can become unavailable for use. In this case, the body cells switch to use another way of cellular respiration, which is FERMENTATION.

This fermentation causes a build up of lactic acid/lactate (its byproduct) in the cells of the muscles being used, which physically causes a burning and aching sensation just as the case of this hiker. The climbing of the steep path is causing causing the fast usage of oxygen in his cells.
