Which of the following describes the ability of a single gene to have multiple phenotypic effects?

Biology
1 answer:
bija089 [108]3 years ago
4 0

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!

Thepotemich [5.8K]

Answer:

Avirulent.

Explanation:

VIRULENCE is the ability of a pathogenic organism  to infects the host, leading to damages  or death of the host. The extent of these virulent effect depends on  certain chemical substances ( called Virulence factors) produced during the  pathogenic processes.

The virulence effects  is achieved  due to the ability of the virulent factor to disrupt the entire physiological mechanisms of  the organisms; e,g crop plants; though  suppression of the host immune response, disruptions of the immune mechanisms, colonization of the host DNA structure etc. Therefore the pathogenic effects suppressed the host resistance and spread throughout the host body system.

In this present scenario, the pathogenic effect of the likable bacteria; is not virulent, because

none of the d crop pant is completely diseased.

the nascent intenodes and leaves  are growing to usual size.

Consequently, the physiological and the morphological features of the crop plants are still intact. Thus the infection is AVIRULENT.

What is a secondary function of the lymphatic system?
katrin2010 [14]

Answer: Fighting infection

Explanation:

Lymphatic system is a type of circulatory system in all vertebrates. It is a network of tissues ,blood vessels, and organs. The primary function of the lymphatic system is to control the fluid balance by collecting the fluid present in excess from the tissues and depositing them in the stream of blood. The secondary function of the lymph system is the production of lymphocytes (white blood cells) which fights against the disease causing pathogens. Hence, fights against infection.

When the angle of a joint increases, it produces movement. Which type of movement is it? A. extension B. rotation C. flexion D.
Mandarinka [93]

Correct answer: A) Extension

Extension is a physical position that occurs when angle between the bones and the limbs of joint increases.

It takes place when there is a contraction of muscles and bones move the joint from a bent to a straight position, it is opposite of flexion, in which the angle between the bones and the limb at the joint decreases.

Example: During straightening of the leg, the angle between the tibia and femur increases, which shows extension has taken place.
