Answer:
Mitosis
Explanation:
Mitosis is a type of cell division that results in two daughter cells each having the same number and kind of chromosomes as the parent nucleus.
Two ethical issues of using Biotechnology are Affordability and Privacy. Two social issues of Biotechnology are Harm to the environment and Bio-terrorism.
<u>EXPLANATION: </u>
- The most concerning ethical issue of using biotechnology is the cost and access to new treatments.
- The drugs that break clots that cause heart attacks, for example, are extremely expensive and so the common people cannot afford them.
- The second ethical issue is Privacy.
- The technology can decode the human genome which might reveal the future health information of a person.
- The first social issue of using biotechnology is the harm to the environment.
- It is not sure how will the ecosystem react when a new organism is introduced in the ecosystem.
- Another social issue is that terrorists might make new superbugs or infectious viruses, using biotechnology, which might not have any cure.
Answer:
E (Red shows incomplete dominance over white)
Explanation:
This portrays a monohybrid cross involving a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. According to the question, a purebreeding red flowered (homozygous) plant is crossed with a purebreeding white flowered (homozygous) plant to produce an all pink flowered offspring. This phenomenon is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE.
Mendel, in his experiments, discovered that an allele can mask the expression of another in a heterozygous state. He called the allele that masks DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. However, exceptions like INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, has occurred in the sense that an allele does not completely mask the expression of its allelic pair, instead an intermediate phenotype, which is a combination/blending of both parental phenotypes is produced.
In this case, the red flowered snapdragon (RR) does not completely cover up the expression of white flower (rr), hence a hybrid/heterozygous offspring is produced that combines the phenotypic characteristics of both parents to form an intermediate flower colour (pink). Hence, it can be said that Red flower is incompletely dominant over white flower or no allele/trait is dominant or recessive to another.
Answer:
Increased frequency of the allele for sickle cell anemia
Explanation:
Sickle cell anemia is fatal in homozygous genotype. The homozygous genotype having two copies of the allele for sickle cell anemia is not favored by natural selection due to its reduced survival success.
However, the heterozygous genotype for sickle cell anemia with one allele for the disease exhibit malaria resistant. The presence of one allele is not fatal for the organisms as the presence of one normal allele ensures the formation of some normal hemoglobin protein and RBCs to support the oxygen delivery to the body parts.
The increased survival success of heterozygous genotype in malaria-prone regions allowed their natural selection. This increased the frequency of allele for the sickle cell anemia in the gene pool of the local population and increased the frequency of heterozygous dominant genotype.
