which pattern of inheritance is responsible for a wide range of phenotypes that result from the individual organisms having many

different Gene pairs controlling a single trait

Stella [2.4K]3 years ago

The answer is polygenic inheritance.

Polygenic inheritance is responsible for traits that are controlled by two or more genes. It is also called multiple gene inheritance. Examples of polygenic inheritance are height, weight, skin color, eye color.
Since a great number of genes control one trait, it is expected that each one has<span> a relatively small effect</span>

As distance west of kilauea increases the size of the islands generally appears to decrease. What is likely the reason for this
MakcuM [25]

The reason is two fold, the first is the active volcano of Kilauea implies there is a lot of heat under the big island of Hawaii, and that heat causes the island to be buoyed up. However, the other islands do not have active volcanos, are colder, and have subsided, the 2nd is, because the volcanoes on the older islands are dormant, those islands are and are no longer growing and are steadily eroding away.

Where do the branches of the bronchial tree ultimately end? 2. list the steps of the pulmonary circuit of the cardiovascular sys
Aneli [31]
1. The branches of the bronchial tree ultimately ends at the alveoli.
Bronchial tree consist of bronchi, bronchioles, and alveoli. Bronchi are formed as the lower part of the trachea divides into two tubes. Bronchioles are smaller tube divisions of the bronchi. It walls contain smooth muscle and no cartilage. Alveoli are tiny ends of the alveolar ducts, which functions as the site for gaseous exchange. 

2. Blood flows from the left atrium; mitral (bicuspid valves), the left ventricle, aortic valve, aorta, veins and heart, right side of the heart, superior and inferior vena cavae, right atrium, tricuspid valve, right ventricle, pulmonary valve, pulmonary trunk, pulmonary artery, lungs, pulmonary veins, then back to the heart...

3. Arteries and the veins differ in structures and they way they functions; Arteries carry oxygenated blood away from the heart to the body (except pulmonary artery) while veins carry deoxygenated blood back from the body to the heart (except pulmonary veins). A structural differences includes; the veins contain valves while arteries lack. Arteries have narrow lumen while veins have wide lumen. Lastly, blood carried by veins has higher pressure compared to blood carried in vessels.

4. The circulatory and respiratory systems work together to circulate blood and oxygen throughout the body. Air moves in and out of the lungs through the trachea, bronchi, and the bronchioles. Blood moves in and out of the lungs throgh the pulmonary arteries and veins that connect to the heart.

5. The cartilage rings of the trachea
They are strong but flexible tissues which support the trachea or the windpipe while still allowing it to move and flex during breathing. Additionally these cartilage rings are C-shaped to provide room for the esophagus, which lies along the back side of the trachea.

6. Functions of the larynx includes;
To protect the airway from choking on material in the throat
to regulate the flow of air into our lungs
The production of sounds used for speech 
Larynx is part of the respiratory system and is located between the pharynx and the trachea. Humans use larynx to breathe, talk and swallow. 

7. Structures that make up the pathway of air through the respiratory system starting with the external nares; We start with; External nares, nasal cavity, internal nares, nasopharynx, laryngopharynx,oropharynx, larynx, trachea, primary bronchus, secondary bronchus, tertiary bronchus, bronchiole, terminal bronchiole, respiratory bronchiole, alveolar duct, alveolar sac and alveolus.

In Mendelian case, the offpspring will take on the pheonotype of the parent that donates the dominant allele True Or False. I'm
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

True

Explanation:

According to Mendelian's law of inheritance, the dominant allele is the allele that is expressed in an individual while the recessive allele are usually not expressed in the phenotype of an individual.

If a parents is dominant for a particular allele of tallness and recessive for a particular allele of shortness it is observed that the dominant allele is what is expressed in the phenotype of the offspring and inherited in simple Mendelian fashion by the offspring.

Irina-Kira [14]

Answer:

eukaryotes

Explanation:

Acheas and Eucariontes have a common ancestor, which justifies the vast similarity in the structure and cellular function of each individual. These similarities have already caused confusion in the academic community that has already joined the two organizations in a single group, however, it is now known that the similarities are due to a common ancestor.

Why is water essential to all living things?
coldgirl [10]

Answer:

living organisms need water to survive. all oxygen-dependent organisms need water to aid in the respiration process; some organisms, such as fish, cannot breathe outside its presence, while other organisms need water to help break down food molecules or generate energy during the respiration process.

Explanation:

water is good
