Expressivity is the term used to describe the balanced genetic output from a hemizygous condition. True or False

Biology

3 0

Answer:

The statement is FALSE.

Explanation:

In genetics, expressivity refers to the amount of variation in a non binary phenotype across individuals, who are carrying a specific genotype. Scientists believed that variable expressivity is controlled by different factors such as environment, genetics and lifestyle choice. An example of expressivity is  a series of blue eye color that has different shades of blue. Thus, expressivity is not about balanced genetic output but varied genetic expression.

Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in living organisms.[1][2][3]

The discoverer of genetics is Gregor Mendel, a late 19th-century scientist and Augustinian friar. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring. He observed that organisms (pea plants) inherit traits by way of discrete "units of inheritance". This term, still used today, is a somewhat ambiguous definition of what is referred to as a gene.

Trait inheritance and molecular inheritance mechanisms of genes are still primary principles of genetics in the 21st century, but modern genetics has expanded beyond inheritance to studying the function and behavior of genes. Gene structure and function, variation, and distribution are studied within the context of the cell, the organism (e.g. dominance), and within the context of a population. Genetics has given rise to a number of subfields, including epigenetics and population genetics. Organisms studied within the broad field span the domains of life (archaea, bacteria, and eukarya).

Genetic processes work in combination with an organism's environment and experiences to influence development and behavior, often referred to as nature versus nurture. The intracellular or extracellular environment of a cell or organism may switch gene transcription on or off. A classic example is two seeds of genetically identical corn, one placed in a temperate climate and one in an arid climate. While the average height of the two corn stalks may be genetically determined to be equal, the one in the arid climate only grows to half the height of the one in the temperate climate due to lack of water and nutrients in its environment.

natima [27]
I would say that the most correct statement is the following one:
Certain types of renewable energy can be used for as many applications as certain types of nonrenewable resources.

Let's take for example the energy from solar panels (the renewable energy source) and the energy from burning fossil fuels: this energy can be used in the same situations!
