Answer: Dominant allele codes for a functional protein. Recessive allele codes for a less functional or nonfunctional protein, or it does not code for any protein.

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a gene. There are two types, dominant and recessive allele. Heterozygous organisms have one of each, and the dominant allele is expressed. Homozygous organisms have either two dominant alleles or two recessive alleles.

<u>A dominant allele produces a functional protein</u>, even in the presence of a recessive allele, because only one copy of the allele is enough and it masks the effects of the recessive allele. This dominant trait is shown in individuals who are homozygous dominant or heterozygous,

<u>A recessive allele produces a less functional or nonfunctional protein, or it does not code for any protein at all.</u> A recessive allele does not become a trait unless both copies of the gene are present.

Explanation:

The change of colour in both A and B, affect the organisms ability to survive and reproduce. In the case of the white deer, and the black moth, they could be more prone to predation. The cat in contrast has an eye of another colour but this does not affect his ability to see.

Answer:

A rose plant

Explanation:

A rose plant gathers energy from the sun. It uses the sunlight in order to carry out photosynthesis. Plants need the sun's light to create their own energy.

for a particular flower the allele for red is domonaniant the allele for white is ressivepunnent square

Papessa [141]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-The red and white flower alleles are co dominant.

Explanation:

The Mendel suggested that for any trait, the organism contains its alleles which could be dominant and recessive. But there are cases in which multiple alleles exist for the same trait which are neither dominant nor recessive.

Two cases arise due to this in which both the dominant alleles co-exist and show their phenotype effect called "co-dominance" and when both alleles form a new phenotype called 'incomplete dominance".

In the given case, the self-pollination produces red, white and patched flowers as a result of co-dominance because both the alleles show the equal effect on the flower petals (mixed phenotype) and form a flower with red patches or spots on the flower.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

Why do we need friction in our world?

sammy [17]

Friction is a force that works against motion. While walking, friction helps us maintain our stability and prevents us from slipping. Friction also works the same way with cars and vehicles in general, preventing them from skidding and helping them stop when the brakes are applied. We also need friction to make a fire.
