Answer:

D) Each parent contributes one allele for this trait  

Explanation:

All traits of individuals are determined by specific genes of that trait. For example, there is a certain gene for height, certain gene for eye color, face shape etc.

Genes are the units of hereditary, and for every trait there is one gene in every organism. However, one gene is present in two alternative forms called alleles in an organism. For example: There is a trait height, a person has two alleles for the height gene, one allele is for short height, and other allele is for tall height. The trait of tallness is dominant over the trait of shortness, Therefore, this person will have tall height.

Now the alleles are transmitted from parents to offspring. Every parent contributes one allele for a specific trait, in the process and transmit it to offspring.

The allele which will be dominant will be expressed while the one that is recessive will e suppressed.

Therefore, option D is the right answer.

Hope it helps!

If we take the wolf as a species, then we can easily find its place and evolutionary path through this cladogram of chordates. The wolf is a vertebrate, so we start from vertebrae. It is an animal that has jaws and paired appendages. Continuing further up the cladogram we reach the development of lungs, and the wolfs have lungs for breathing. Then we come to the development of four limbs, and the wolfs have four limbs. Next comes the endothermy, meaning that the animal is able to regulate its own body temperature, thus it is warmblooded, and the wolfs are warmblooded animals. As last we come to the mammals, and the wolfs are part of the mammals, so we can classify them in that branch of the chordate cladogram.

If two trucks have the same mass, but truck A is traveling 15 km/h, and truck B is traveling 30 km/h, what statement is true? Qu
Montano1993 [528]

Given that the two trucks have the same mass but different velocities, that is truck A is traveling 15 km/h and truck B is traveling 30 km/h,  hence  Truck B will have a greater stopping distance.

The reason why Truck B will have a greater stopping distance is because it speed is greater hence more distance to cover.

From the following expression

Speed = Distance/Time

Distance = Speed*Time

More on the kinetic Energy

Following from the given problem truck B will also have more kinetic energy because it velocity is more

Formula

KE= 1/2mv^2

Hence the more the velocity for a constant mass the greater the Kinetic energy
