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

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.

The correct answer that would best complete the given statement above would be the term ADAPTIVE RADIATION. African cichlids are a group of closely related fish species. There are at least 500 known species living in three small lakes. Over time, specialized teeth and body colorations have evolved for each species in response to mutations and competition for food and mates. This change over time is an example of ADAPTIVE RADIATION. Adaptive radiation by definition, is <span>the diversification of a group of organisms into forms filling different ecological niches.</span>

VladimirAG [237]

Answer: Movement along fault line

Explanation:

Here's the remainder of the question:

Which map best predicts the likely movement of land along the fault line over thousands of years?

A transform fault is simply refered to a as a fault that occurs along the plate boundary such that the motion in such case is horizontal and ends when there's a connection with another plate boundary.

Based on the question, the map that best predicts the likely movement of land along the fault line over thousands of years will be a movement along fault line.

Fill in this table to describe how Mendel used the scientific method
kramer
1. Ask a question: He thought how traits passed from one generation to another.

2. Form a hypothesis: His hypothesis was "Each plat has two factors for a trait, one from each parent.

3. Test hypothesis: He grew pea plants to see what will happen.

4. Make and record observations: He discovered that one factor alone doesn't determine the expression of the trait in the pea plant.

<span>5. Conclusion: Traits in pea plants are inherited from the parent pea plants.</span>
