You have a cup of beans in front of you with 20 white beans and 20 red beans. These beans represent the alleles for a simple Men
delian trait, where red is dominant (R) and white is recessive (r). The cup holds the alleles for an entire population (the gene pool). Note: You may substitute other everyday objects (such as candies, coins, or paper clips) for the beans, but be sure to designate which objects represent the dominant versus recessive alleles. How many alleles of each type are present in your overall population?
The case shown in the question above explores simple Mendelian traits, since it shows a population where individuals of the same species present the dominant allele (R- red) and the recessive allele (r- white). We can project, then, that this population has an allele balance, where it is possible to find 20 red beans, which have the dominant allele and 20 white beans, which present the recessive allele.
A niche refers to the way in which an organism fits into an ecological community or ecosystem. How an organism interacts with it's environment. So, I believe the answer to be C.
Answer: The structural and functional characteristics of different types of cells are determined by the nature of the proteins present. Cells of various types have different functions because cell structure and function are closely related.
