Answer:

Inherited characteristic.

Explanation:

When the offspring has a characteristic identical to parents and siblings, we call this characteristic inheritable.

Science explains this from the genes, responsible for encoding instructions that define the baby's traits. Like a lottery, the transmission of physical characteristics will depend on the combination of genes. There are more than 200 genes passed on from generation to generation. In this group, there are dominant, traits that manifest themselves more strongly, and recessive characteristics that do not manifest themselves.

Thus, it is possible to understand, for example, the predominance of the color of the father's brown eyes, compared to the mother's blue ones. If the brown color gene received from the father is the dominant one, the blue color will be "forgotten". In order to have blue eyes, given that the gene is recessive, it is necessary that not only the father, but the couple have the gene for blue eyes and that at the crossing this gene is captured from both.

Peahens prefer to mate with peacocks that have the brightest and largest tail displays. The peacock’s tail is a disadvantage to

Lera25 [3.4K]

Answer:

Peacock with larger tails are most likely to produce more progeny.

Explanation:

Sexual selection is a type of natural selection wherein individuals with some specific genetic traits are preferred as a mate for interbreeding by the individuals of the opposite gender of the same species. For instance, in some species, males with large size have a greater chance to mate and pass on their genes to the progeny. This results in an increased frequency of the genes for the larger body size in population over time. Therefore, sexual selection results in the reproductive advantage for some individuals over others of the same species and sex.

In the given example, a peacock with larger tails is preferred as a mate by peahens and is able to produce more offspring. Due to its reproductive advantage, larger tails in peacocks are not selected against by natural selection.

Pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy is a human disorder that causes gradual deterioration of the muscles. Only boys are affect

andriy [413]

The answer is; C

It is caused by the recessive allele because the parents appear normal but are carriers of the disorder (meaning they are heterozygous for Pseudohypertrophic muscular dystrophy). Only when the offspring is heterogenous recessive do they display the disorder.

The disorder is also sex-linked because it tends to affect only boys. This means that the disorder is probably coded for by alleles in the Y- chromosome that determines the male sex.
