Answer:
Neil Shubin bases his argument that the anatomy of Tiktaalik is relevant to that of humans by discussing specific features of the anatomy of Tiktaalik that vary from typical fish anatomy and correspond to features of the human body. For example, he points out that Tiktaalik has a neck that is able to bend independently of the rest of the body, unlike fish, and like all terrestrial vertebrates, including humans. Therefore, the evolutionary history of humans can be traced to an organism similar to Tiktaalik, resulting in the concept of the "inner fish."
Explanation:
11 and 12 seem to be right :) For 13, only organisms which are homozygotic for a certain gene (aa) express a recessive phenotype.
14. This dna exchange between the homologous chromosomes is called crossing-over.
15. geneticly linked or coupled, the phenomenon is known as genetic linkage
16. and 17. also seem all right :)
Answer:
Codominant- traits don’t have a clear dominant or recessive
incomplete dominance- the heterozygous condition shows a “blending” or a “middle” condition
Explanation:
In codominance, the traits are expressed equally in the phenotype thus they don't have a clear dominant or recessive state. For example the ABO blood group alleles. The alleles A and B are codominant each being expressed equally.
In incomplete dominance the traits show intermediate expression where one allele expresses itself more strongly than the other. An example in man is seen in the inheritance of the disease sickle cell anaemia. Heterozygote who carry the sickle cell gene are said to have sickle cell trait and as such the carrier allele (HBa) has a stronger influence on the phenotype than the dominant alle (HBs).
Answer:
B. Produce cells that are genetically identical to one another
