William and Quentin are fraternal twins. This means they share, on average, what % of genes with one another?

Biology
1 answer:
nordsb [41]3 years ago
7 0

Answer:

The correct answer is 50%

Explanation:

Fraternal twins are the twins which are produced from the fertilization of two different eggs by two different sperms. These eggs are released at the same time.

So as fraternal twins are produced from fertilization of two different eggs therefore they share 50% of genes with each other just like other siblings. They are also called dizygotic twins

Identical twins are produce from a sigle fertilized cell which later divides into two cell mass. Indentical twins share 100% gene. Therefore the correct answer is 50%.

Gwar [14]

Answer: B. False

Explanation:

“Hox” genes are a highly conserved group of genes, all of whose products are transcription factors bearing a specific domain (called a ”homeodomain”). The transcriptional activity of a large amount of genes relevant to embryonic development is controlled by regulatory sites which are able to bind to this domain. Changes in the transcriptional activity of even a single Hox gene may thus have dramatic downstream effects on the phenotype, as this will result in several further genes having their transcription either enhanced or suppressed.
