Answer:

Exceptions to Mendel's principles:

Does exceptions mean that Mendel was "wrong"? The answer is "NO". It means that we know more today about diseases, genes, and heredity than compared to what he expalined 150 years ago. Here I have summerized the exceptions with examples:

Incomplete dominance: When an organism is heterozygous for a trait and both genes are expressed but not completely.

Example: SnapDragon Flowers

Codominance: When 2 different alleles are present and both alleles are expressed.

Example: Black Feathers + Whites feathers --> Black and white speckled feathers

Multiple alleles: Three or more alternative forms of a gene (alleles) that can occupy the same locus.

Example: Bloodtype

Polygenic traits: more than one gene controls a particular phenotype

Example: human height, Hair color, weight, and eye, hair and skin color.

Identify one of the key external difference between vertebrates and invertebrates.

77julia77 [94]

Vertebrates have a bilateral symmetry due to which their entire body is divided into right and left halves while the invertebrates either have radial symmetry or the bilateral symmetry. Therefore, option D is correct.

The other basic differences between the vertebrates and the invertebrates are that vertebrates have a spinal cord and a backbone while invertebrates lack them, vertebrates have well developed brain, lungs or gills in respiratory system and closed circulatory system.
