Answer:

B. Geographic Isolation

Explanation:

Speciation is a biological process that allows the generation of new species through existing species. Through conditions imposed by the environment in which this species lives.

Speciation is usually caused by geographic isolation.

Geographic isolation occurs when a population of the same species is separated by some type of natural barrier, such as rivers or mountains. This causes the population to be divided in two and begin to face different environments and different environmental conditions. This causes each part of the population to adapt in different ways, leaving them so different from one another that it is no longer possible to say that the two populations belong to the same species.

Describe what happens during prophase I and metaphase I and how these phases play an important role in the genetic diversity of

irga5000 [103]

In prophase 1:
Chromosomes become visible, crossing-over occurs, the nucleolus disappears, the meiotic spindle forms, and the nuclear envelope disappears.
In metaphase 1:
The pairs of chromosomes (bivalents) become arranged on the metaphase plate and are attached to the now fully formed meiotic spindle. The centrioles are at opposite poles of the cell.

How are giant bluefin tuna different from other fish?

erma4kov [3.2K]

These statements are both true. However, tuna are warm blooded and all other fish (but mackerel shark) are cold blooded. There are many fish that swim in both the Atlantic and Mediterranean. Therefore the answer must be B.

Describe how the dna code is translated into messenger rna

Amiraneli [1.4K]

There are many steps for that and here I'm going to explain it to you. The first step is that a cell copies the genetic instructions and then the dna unrolls. The second step is that RNA polymerase binds onto the strand. Then the third step is that the messenger RNA is ordered to go out of the nucleus into the cytoplasm to a ribosome. ANd the final step is the the ribosomes then take the mRNA and translate it into amino acids. That is how it is translated

Michelle was curious about her mother's blood type. Michelle knew that her own blood type was o,

babymother [125]

Blood type is determined by the I gene. IAIA and IAi determines A blood type. IBIB and IBi determines B blood type. ii determines 0 blood type. Michelle's mother must at least carry one recessive allele i.

--------------------------------

The blood type is determined by a gene, which is triallelic.

IA dominant over i. The person presents A type of antigens.

IB dominant over i. The person presents B type of antigens.

IA and IB are codominant. The person presents both types of antigens, A and B.

i is the recessive allele. The person does not present any antigen.

⇒ H0m0zyg0us dominant individuals IAIA, or heter0zyg0us Individuals IAi, will express the A blood type.

⇒ H0m0zyg0us dominant individuals IBIB, or heter0zyg0us Individuals IBi, will express the B blood type.

⇒ Individuals with h0m0zyg0us recessive genotype, ii will express the 0 blood type.

⇒ Individuals carrying IA and IB alleles will express the AB blood type.

To solve the problem, we will use this information.

We know that

Michelle is blood type 0

Father is blood type A

Brother and sister are blood type A

Mother??

⇒ If Michelle is blood type 0, then her genotype is ii. She must have received one recessive allele from her father and one from her mother.

⇒ This suggests that Michelle's father, who is blood type A, is heter0zyg0us IAi. He must have at least one dominant allele IA that determines his phenotype, and one i allele.

⇒ Michelle's brother and sisters are also type A. They might be either h0m0zyg0us dominant IAIA or heter0zyg0us IAi.

⇒ Michelle's mother should have at least one recessive allele i. She could be either IAi or IBi, or ii. There are three possible option for her genotype.

Let us make the Punnet squares to understand it better. We know the genotype of the father, but there are three options for the mother.

Option 1

Cross) father x mother

Parentals) IAi x IAi

Gametes) IA i IA i

Punnett square) IA i

IA IAIA IAi

i IAi ii

F1) 25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us dominant IAIA

50% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IAi

25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive ii

75% of the progeny is expected to be blood type A ⇒ IAIA and IAi ⇒ Sisters and brother

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood tye 0 ⇒ ii ⇒ Michelle

Option 2

Cross) father x mother

Parentals) IAi x IBi

Gametes) IA i IB i

Punnett square) IA i

IB IBIA IBi

i IAi ii

F1) 25% of the progeny is expected to be IAIB

25% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IAi

25% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IBi

25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive ii

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood type AB ⇒ IAIB

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood type A ⇒ IAi ⇒ Sisters and brother

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood type B ⇒ IBi

25% of the progeny is expected to be blood tye 0 ⇒ ii ⇒ Michelle

Option 3

Cross) father x mother

Parentals) IAi x ii

Gametes) IA i i i

Punnett square) IA i

i IAi ii

F1) 50% of the progeny is expected to be heter0zygus IAi

25% of the progeny is expected to be h0m0zyg0us recessive ii

50% of the progeny is expected to be blood type A ⇒ IAi ⇒ Sisters and brother

50% of the progeny is expected to be blood tye 0 ⇒ ii ⇒ Michelle

Despite the fact we can not determine for sure the mother's genotype, we know that she carries at least one recessive allele, which is why Michelle's blood type is 0.
