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.

pantera1 [17]4 years ago

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 developmental level(s) emphasize(s) more structured exercises and routines?
Alina [70]
The answer to this question is <span>Developmental Levels II and III
During developmental level 2 and 3, the routines and exercise SHOULD serve a certain purpose. The exercise doer should know beforehand what type of results that they wanted to achieve and structure the routines to achieve that specific goals (for example, if they wanted to focus on losing weight without gaining muscle, they should put more time in cardio)

Part A - The glucose-sodium cotransporter
Ulleksa [173]
<span>the glucose-sodium cotransporter in animals, Na+ moves back into the cell down its electrochemical gradient, providing the energy for glucose to move into the cell against its concentration gradient.  
</span>It makes sense css <span> glucose is cotransported with Na+ ions</span>
<span>In cotransport, the energy required to move one solute against its concentration or electrochemical gradient is provided by an ion moving into the cell down its electrochemical gradient. </span>

Importance of channel proteins and carrier proteins
NISA [10]
Channel protein is important because it is embedded in the membrane and it also covers the membrane. This is important because the channel must transport the micromolecules and ions in and out of the cell. Carrier proteins are important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.
