Answer:

A, pleiotropy.

Explanation:

Pleiotropy - genes that have multiple phenotypic effects. Remember that phenotype means a physical characteristic caused by a gene, such as eye color or fur patterns.

Incomplete dominance - when neither allele is dominant and they mix together in the phenotype. A popular example is a red flower crossing with a white flower and resulting in a pink flower.

Epistasis - when two genes contribute to the phenotype, but one gene completely masks another gene. An example would be labrador fur colors.

Multiple alleles - 3 or more alternative forms of a gene, but only 2 alleles can occupy an organism. An example is blood type.

Hope this helps!

Answer:

SEXUAL REPRODUCTION:

-creates genetically unique offspring

-organism needs time to reach adulthood to reproduce

-requires the contribution of two parents

ASEXUAL REPRODUCTION:

-creates genetically identical offspring

-organism doesn’t have to waste energy to find a mate

-requires the contribution of a single parent

Explanation:

Living organisms employ two types of reproduction to produce their offsprings. They are sexual reproduction and asexual reproduction.

Sexual reproduction is that reproduction involving the fusion of two sex cells from opposite sex individuals i.e. male and female. Sexual reproduction forms offsprings with unique genetic contents, which is as result of the meiotic process that each individual organism undergoes to produce gametes or sex cells (sperm and eggs). Since there must be a fusion of gametic cells, sexual reproduction requires the contribution of two parents (a male and a female). Also, the parents only undergo meiosis to produce gametes at certain points in their life. Hence, they have to wait to reach adulthood to do that.

On the other hand, asexual reproduction involves only the contribution of one parent as the fusion of genetic material is not needed. Hence, the offsprings form by cellular division that makes it genetically identical to the parent cell. Energy is not needed to find a mate, the organism simply reproduces on its own by dividing into daughter cells.

During eukaryotic DNA replication, a. one template strand must be degraded to allow the other strand to be copied. b. the templa
ehidna [41]

Answer:

The answer is b. the template strands must separate so that both can be copied.

Explanation:

In replication both DNA strands are copied and that way two complete DNAs are obtained. That's why the helicase breaks all the hydrogen bonds between the two strands, and the SSB's hold them separate so the replication process can be done. The replication process is made when the cell is dividing.
