How many recessive alleles I need for an expression of a recessive phenotype

1 answer:

7 0

You need two recessive alleles (xx). If even one dominant allele is present, the dominant trait will show (Xx or XX will both result in the dominant trait showing). That’s why they’re called dominant traits, because they overpower the recessive traits. In order for a recessive trait to show you must have two recessive alleles.

If you are not getting adequate calcium in your diet, calcitonin will be secreted, which stimulates osteoclasts to resorb bone a

MissTica

The statement above is false. The blood levels of calcium is regulated by parathyroid hormone.When one is not getting adequate calcium in one's diet and the blood level of calcium is low, the parathyroid hormone will be released. The parathyroid hormone can increase the blood calcium in several ways:
1. by stimulating osteoclasts which break down bone and release calcium into the blood stream.
2. by increasing the amount of calcium re-absorbed by the kidney before it can be excreted in urine.
3. by triggering the formation of calcitriol which increases the absorption of dietary calcium at the intestines.

Lapatulllka [165]

I think you wrote this wrong? Is it not round rr vs wrinkled RR?? I'll answer it with that assumption:

You are crossing a rr with an RR:
You only get Rr back so they will phenotypically be all wrinkled

If you are crossing rr with an Rr (so a heterozygote wrinkled):
50% will be Rr (wrinkled)
50% will be rr (round)

Which of these requires a host cell to copy its genetic material and protein coat?

svet-max [94.6K]

The virus' DNA becomes a part of the host cell's DNA, and every time the host cell copies and divides, it also copies viral DNA. The viral DNA may remain inactive (a provirus) for a long time, but it can become active when it frees itself from the host's chromosome, which triggers the lytic cycle.

I forget which one is the virus' DNA
