from the inability of pigment- producing cells to migrate properly during development. Two adults with piebald spotting have one child who has this trait and a second child with normal skin pigmentation. a. Is the piebald spotting trait dominant or recessive? What information led you to this answer? b. What are the genotypes of the parents?

Answer:

The autosomal trait are present on the autosomes and does not have any influence on the sex of the organism. Two main types of autosomal trait are autosomal dominant and autosomal recessive trait.

a. The trait discussed in the question must be the autosomal dominant trait. As the normal and affected children are produced by the affected parents cross. The appearance of the normal child determines that the trait is dominant.

b. Since both the parent are affected but the normal child has been produced from the cross. The parents must be heterozygotes for the trait, (Aa). Their cross will produce the progeny AA, Aa and Aa (affected) and aa (normal).

Which of the following pairs is mismatched? DNA ligase joins segments of DNA Helicase unwinds double-strand DNA DNA polymerase m
ycow [4]

Answer:

DNA polymerase makes a molecule of RNA from a DNA template

Explanation:

DNA  polymerase is an enzyme involved in the process of DNA replication. DNA replication replicates or synthesizes a new DNA replicate from the parental DNA.

The enzymes mentioned in the question perform a specified function which is matched with their description except for DNA polymerase as this enzyme is responsible for adding nucleotides to the synthesizing strand from the template strand f DNA.

Thus, the selected option is correct.

A population of 20 monarch butterflies colonizes a meadow. The meadow's carrying capacity for monarch butterflies is 5,000 indiv
Varvara68 [4.7K]

Answer:

B

Explanation:

A. The population grows exponentially until it approaches 5,000 individuals, and then the population size begins to decrease.

B. The population grows exponentially until it approaches 5,000 individuals, and then its growth rate decreases.

C. The population grows at a constant rate until it approaches 5,000 individuals, and then its growth rate increases.

D. The population grows at a constant rate until it approaches 5,000 individuals, and then the population size remains stable.

<em>The population of the monarch butterfly would grow exponentially until it approaches 5,000 individuals and then its growth rate decreases.</em>

The carrying capacity refers to the maximum number of individuals of a species that an environment can support based on its resources. At the initial stage after the newly introduced butterflies get acclimatized to their new environment, their population would grow exponentially because there would adequate resources in the environment.

<u>As the population size gets close to the carrying capacity, resources become limited and competition sets in. Hence, the population growth slows down until it reaches the carrying capacity and starts to oscillate around it.</u>

The correct option is B.
