Explain how the inheritance patterns of many traits (such as petal color in snapdragons, or skin color in humans) cannot be acco

unted for by Mendelian genetics.

Answer:

Petal color in snapdragon is an example of incomplete dominance and deviates from Mendel's law of dominance.

Skin color in humans exhibits a continuous variation and is regulated by more than one genetic loci.

Explanation:

Two alleles of a gene do not always exhibit the dominant-recessive inheritance as shown by Mendel. The alleles controlling the petal color in Snapdragon exhibit incomplete dominance since the allele "R" is not able to produce enough pigment in heterozygous condition to completely mask the effect of the recessive allele "r" Therefore, the heterozygous genotype "Rr" gives pink color to petals.

Mendel showed that each genetic trait is regulated by one gene and exhibit discontinuous variations. This is not followed by skin color in humans which is a polygenic trait with multiple genes regulating it. Here, a range of phenotype is present which is regulated by the sum total of the dominant alleles of all the genes involved controlling the melanin production.

Which of the following types of passive transport involves the movement of molecules via special transport proteins? A. facilita
FrozenT [24]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

There are different mechanisms for transport of molecules across the cell membrane. One kind of this transport is facilitated diffusion, this is a form of passive transport, not requiring any ATP (the opposite would be active transport, where it does require ATP.

Simple diffusion does require special transport proteins, and neither does osmosis. Filtration is a technique used for sterilisation of water, where any impurities can be drawn out of the liquid

Afterload is described as: a) the length or degree of stretch of the sarcomeres in the ventricular cells before they contract. b
cricket20 [7]

Answer: Option D

After load is the force the ventricles must overcome to eject blood into their respective arteries.

Explanation:

Afterload is the pressure or force the heart must overcome to release blood to the arteries during systole. It is proportional to the average arterial pressure. After load is also proportional to the mean systolic blood pressure measured in millimeters of mercury. It I'd a determinat of cardiac output and cardiac output is the product of stroke volume and heart rate.
