Answer:Variation in single and multiple genes.

Explanation:

This is due to changes in the sequence of nucleotides in the GENE on specific loci located on the chromosomes of the DNA molecule.

The change may be due MUTATION. Therefore the expression of phenotype may be different from Madelia laws of independent assortments of genes, because the genes may be linked together and assort jointly,(linkage), or some genes may not have full dominance over the other(incomplete dominance and codominance). Some alleles of another gene may mask or conceal the expression of other allele

Example of these exceptions to the independent assortments are Incomplete dominance, codominance, sex –linkage, epistasis, complementary genes.

Answer:

Linkage

Explanation:

<em>The existence of two loci on the same chromosome (linkage) increases the chances of the genes on these loci to assort or be inherited together. </em>

The closer the two loci on the chromosome, the higher the chances of the two genes being inherited together and further apart they are, the lower the chances because the two genes are more likely to be separated during recombination.

Hence, if two loci on the same chromosome produce progeny that do not fit the predicted phenotypes according to the law of independent assortment, it means the two loci are linked.

<em>The answer is linkage.</em>

Both coal and diamonds are forms of elemental carbon. Coal is brittle while diamonds are considered to be the hardest Of all sub
Art [367]

arbon, as with many elements, can arrange its atoms into several different geometries, or "allotropes." In pure diamond, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to exactly 4 other carbon atoms in a very specific and energetically favorable geometry. The diamond cannot be broken or scratched unless many covalent bonds are broken, which is difficult to do. In another common allotrope, graphite, every carbon atom is covalently bonded to only 3 other carbon atoms, and the atoms are arranged in sheets that are not covalently bonded to each other. The sheets can be broken apart easily, ultimately meaning that graphite can be easily scratched. Coal is composed of particles of different allotropes of carbon, and some "amorphous carbon," which has no defined geometry in its atomic structure. Without a continuous network of covalent bonds, coal is easily scratched (i.e. it is not hard).

MrRissso [65]

Answer: Impetigo

The physical findings of impetigo includes small, red macule or vesicle that becomes pustular within a few hours and ruptures when bacteria inoculate traumatized skin cells. This is visible primarily on the face and extremities that characterized thick, honey-colored crust formed from the exudate. 

In addition, this is a highly contagious infection of the superficial layers of the epidermis and primarily caused by Streptococcus pyogenes or Staphylococcus aureus.

katrin [286]

Natural selection is a mechanism of evolution. Organisms that are more adapted to their environment and are more likely to survive and pass on the genes that aided their success. This process causes species to change and diverge over time.

Hope this helps :))
