Although all cells have the same DNA only some parts of it are turned on depending on what the cell needs to do, so each cell turns on different parts of itself depending on what its job is.
Hope this helps!
Complete question:
Imagine that a newly discovered, recessively inherited disease is expressed only in individuals with type O blood, although the disease and blood group are independently inherited.
A normal man with type A blood and a normal woman with type B blood have already had one child with the disease. The woman is now pregnant for a second time.
Assuming that both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease, what is the probability that the second child will also have the disease? Express your answer as a fraction using the slash symbol and no spaces (for example, 1/2).
Answer:
The probability that the second child will also have the disease is 1/16.
Explanation:
<u>Available data:</u>
- Two genes independently inherited: one for blood type, the other for disease
- Man with type A blood x Woman with type B blood
- Both parents are heterozygous for the gene that causes the disease; Dd
If the man has A blood, and the woman has B blood, and they already have an affected child, this means that they must be heterozygous for blood type too.

Answer:
The correct answer is b. decreased genetic difference between the two populations
Explanation:
The gene flow between two population always reduce the genetic difference between the two population because it increases the homogeneity between the population.
If there is greater gene flow between the two populations genes will be shared and transferred between the individual of two population which will make the two gene pool to become more and more similar.
This will increase the fitness of both the population because more allele will add to the two populations. Therefore the correct answer is b.
Answer:
Gregor Mendel belonged to a family of farmers but he went to pursue academic studies. all these things combined with his curiosity resulted in his research studies.
Explanation:
An Austrian monk by profession, Gregor Mendel through experimental studies in his garden, discovered the basic principles of heredity. Mendel 's observations have become the basis of modern genetics and the study of heredity, and he is universally recognized as a foundation for the development of genetics. His strong will led him away from his family occupation of farming. More working in a church it was no less than a revolutionary step to choose science above faith, especially at that time.
