<h2>Answer is Option "A"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Genetic variation is the variation in alleles and genes, both within and among populations. Think of a population as a family unit. Within your family of closely-related individuals there is genetic variation. Within a neighbourhood, there are many families, and so there is also genetic variation among that larger group
  • Genetic variation can be identified through either continuous or discrete traits. Continuous traits are traits that vary continuously, such as height and weight. Discrete traits are traits that can only be measured discretely, such as tongue rolling; you either can or can't do this
  • There are three sources of genetic variation: mutation, gene flow, and sexual reproduction.A mutation is simply a change in the DNA. Mutations themselves are not very common and are usually harmful to a population.Because of this, mutations are usually selected against through evolutionary processes
  • Hence, the right answer is option A "genetic variation among individuals"

IrinaVladis [17]

Answer:

Neighboring cardiac muscle cells in the walls of heart chambers have specialized cell-to-cell contacts that electrically and mechanically link the cells together, permitting the immediate passage of muscle impulses. These cell-to-cell contacts are called <u>intercalated discs.</u>

Explanation:

Intercalated discs can be described as unique structures present between the cardiac muscles of the heart. The intercalated discs play a major role in making the cardiac muscles contract in a rhythm so that the heart can pump blood in a regular fashion and it hence regulates the effective functioning of the heart. The intercalated discs are the structures that join on cardiac muscle to another and is involved in the transmission of chemical messages between them.

What is the expected phenotypic ratio of the offspring of a a BbPp*BbPp cross if these alleles sort independently?
nadezda [96]

Answer:

Let's consider that the allele 'B' is for Black hair colour and it is dominant. Let's consider that the allele for red hair colour is b.

Let's consider the allele for lacking horns or polles is 'P' and it is dominant. The allele for having horns is 'p' and it is recessive.

When two heterozygous black, lacking horns (BbPp) are crossed, the results will have the probability of 9 black/polled : 3 black/horned : 3 red/polled : 1 red/horned organisms.
