Why is mating between blood relatives discouraged from a genetic perspective?

Biology

melomori [17]3 years ago

The mating between blood relatives discouraged from a genetic perspective to avoid the expression of certain recessive genetic diseases.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Mendelian genetics proved us that there are 2 different traits namely the dominant trait and the recessive trait. The dominant trait gets expressed even if it is single whereas the recessive trait gets expressed only when both the haploid alleles are recessive in nature.

Most of the deadly genetic diseases are recessive in nature and hence if it is from the same family the 2 recessive alleles have a possibility to join together thereby causing the disease.

Inbreeding is simply defined as the mating of relatives. It is a mating system in which individuals carry alleles that originated from a common ancestor. Inbreeding is considered a problem in humans because inbreeding increases the chances of receiving a deleterious recessive allele inherited from a common ancestor.

Why is the beak of a bird important?
Ad libitum [116K]

The beak of a bird is important because it helps the bird eat certain foods that allow it to live. If a hummingbird did not have a long , thin beak, it would not get the flower nectar it needs. Or if a parrot did not have a large, blunt beak, it would not be able to eat hard seeds.

the roots of a plant are usually located underground and composed of which of the following tissue systems?
dolphi86 [110]
This question is incomplete as it should have provided a choice of different tissue systems. I think the answer is a thin continuous cylinder made up of meristematic cells located between the wood (secondary xylem) and bark (secondary phloem) of roots and stems. The meristematic cells divide and add to the wood and inner bark.
