What are the limitations of using probability to predict the actual offspring of a single cross?

Biology
1 answer:
nikdorinn [45]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

Punnet square can be described as a diagram which shows the probability of the genotypes and phenotypes of the offsprings that might result by the mating of two parents.

The limitation of this method is that one cannot particularly tell which offspring might possess the genotype or phenotype which we are looking for. For example, in parents who are a carrier of a disease we can predict that some of the offsprings will actually have that disease. But we cannot predict which one of the pregnancies would produce normal offsprings and which one will produce the diseased offsprings.

Why don't we have a genome sequenced from Homo erectus?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer: Homo erectus DNA is too similar to ours to prevent contamination.

Explanation:

Homo erectus fossils are known as the oldest form of early humans that had human like body structure with shorter arms and elongated legs and shorter arms. These features gave them the ability to walk and also run long distances.

The reason that we do not have a genome sequenced from Homo erectus is that their DNA is too similar to ours to prevent contamination. There are enough fund which could have been used to carry out the research but their similarities to human beings has been the source of concern.

How does extinction affect biodiversity?​

<h3>♫ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ~Hello There!~ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - ♫</h3>

➷ To understand this, you will need to understand what biodiversity is.

In simple terms, biodiversity is the variety of life on Earth.

Another term you need to understand is Extinction.

Extinction is when a species is wiped out on existence.

After understanding those two terms, it should start to make sense.

Extinction causes a reduction in biodiversity.

How might retaining too much heat be a disadvantage to an organism?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

<u>Too much heat can disrupt subcellular structures such as membrane proteins, and enzymes while damaging the integrity of the plasma membrane.</u>

Explanation:

Proteins are macromolecules made up of amino acids. These fold and bond to form several biologically important molecules. For instance, enzymes, a special type of protein functions by <em>providing alternative reaction pathways. They work best at a specific pH and </em><em>optimal temperature range</em><em>, beyond which they become non-functional  or denatured entirely. </em>

The denaturing of proteins occur at high temperatures, and alter protein folding, bonding and other types of behavior. Furthermore, membrane proteins are  important for regulating cell function. If these are disrupted, the system cannot maintain homeostasis i.e a constant internal environment.
