Answer:

Option-D, a segment of DNA

Explanation:

A gene represents the particular segment of DNA which contains the instruction for the trait of an organism. The nucleotide sequence present in the segment provides the instruction in the form of codons.

The gene is present in the form of its alternative form called alleles which are located on the chromosomes at locus. The alleles represent the variants of the gene and therefore controls the two variety of a single trait.

Thus, Option-D is correct.

How did land whales eventually became aquatic?
cluponka [151]

Explanation:

To swim, they move their tails up and down, rather than back and forth as fishes do. This is because whales evolved from walking land mammals whose backbones did not naturally bend side to side, but up and down. ... Whales do the same thing as they swim, showing their ancient terrestrial heritage.

Cetaceans are fully aquatic marine mammals belonging to the order Artiodactyla, and branched off from other artiodactyls around 50 mya (million years ago). Cetaceans are thought to have evolved during the Eocene or earlier, sharing a closest common ancestor with hippopotamuses.

icang [17]

<u>The</u><u> potential genotypes</u><u> for newborns with brown eyes are</u><u> BB and Bb</u><u>, whereas the potential genotype for newborns with blue eyes is bb.</u>

  • According to the information provided above, b = allele for blue eyes is recessive while B = allele for brown eyes is dominant.
  • A recessive allele is one that cannot express itself in the presence of a dominant allele, while a dominant allele conceals the effect of a recessive allele.
  • A dominant allele expresses itself in the presence of a recessive allele.
  • While a dominant allele can express itself in both a homozygous and heterozygous state, a recessive allele can only do so.
  • Therefore, newborns with brown eyes will have two genotype options: BB and Bb, whereas those with blue eyes will only have one.
