The simplest answer would be to look at a punnet square. it gives you the random chance that a trait gets passed on to offspring. it's made off probability of dominant and recessive genes. But it's random in the end.

Answer: Alleles are sorted randomly into sex cells.

Explanation:

Random means that each item has an equal probability of being chosen.  

According to Mendel's two laws:

  • 1st Law, the principle of segregation: Alleles (the two forms of a gene pair) segregate from each other in the formation of gametes.
  • 2nd Law, the principle of independent assortment: Genes for different traits assort independently of one another in the formation of gametes.

During meiosis, crossing over occurs, which consists of the exchange of alleles between chromosomes. This happens at random and in this way, in each meiosis, totally<u> new chromosomes are created. Then, the two chromosomes separate and end up in the newly created gametes</u>. <u>So which of the alleles goes into which gamete created is random. And after that, which sperm fertilises which egg is also random.</u>

In this population, what will occur is that there will be no evolution. Mutation is neccessary and important because they provide varitations that can result in evolutionary change. Other factors needed for evolution to occur are migration and selective pressure.

<h2>Phylum Anthophyta</h2>

Explanation:

Phylum Anthophyta is the phylum of flowering plants.

Bryophytes are group of seedless non-vascular plant.They are called the amphibians of plant kingdom because to complete their life cycle, they need both water and  land.

Anthophyta are dominant group than the bryophyta because:

  • They have a well developed vascular system.
  • They have their seeds enclosed within fruits and protective sed coat that keep them viable for a long time.

Genetic manipulation of a microbe to remove one or more virulence factors is a method for producing a(n) ________ vaccine.
Alecsey [184]
The term that best completes the given statement above is the word ATTENUATED. A method of producing an attenuated vaccine is through genetic manipulation of a microbe to remove one or more virulence factors. The purpose of creating attenuated vaccines is to reduce the effect of a microorganism to the body. Once the body is exposed to the said disease, it will not experience a dreadful effect done by the microorganism.

In a certain plant, yellow leaves are dominant and red leaves are recessive. A plant with genotype Yy and a plant with Yy are cr
Tanzania [10]

Answer:

One offspring would have red leaves.

Explanation:

Given

Yellow leaves are dominant and red leaves are recessive

Let us assume that the trait of Yellow color of a leaf be  represented by "Y"

and the trait of red color of a leaf be  represented by "y"

When two parent of genotype "Yy" are crossed with each other, the following offsprings are produced as shown in the punnet square below

Y y

Y YY Yy

y Yy yy

Total four offpsrings are produced out of which only one has red leave as red color is a recessive trait and it will appear only when both the allele in a cell are of red color.

Thus, one offspring would have red leaves.
