Answer:

a) genetics and heredity: Genetics can be described as the study of genome or DNA of an organism. Heredity refers to the traits which are passed on from the parents to the offsprings. Not all of the genome of an individual is similar to the parents. Hence, genetics refers to the genome of an individual and heredity refers to the traits which pass from the parents to the child.

b) Dominant and recessive trait: A dominant trait is caused due to a dominant allele. A dominant allele is the allele which can mask the effect of the other recessive allele. Hence, a person can be homozygous or heterozygous for the dominant trait. A recessive trait arises due to the recessive allele. A recessive allele is the allele which gets masked by the dominant allele.

Pure and hybrid: A pure offsprings contains the same genetic character for a trait. It is a homozygous offspring. A hybrind offspring contains different alleles or genetic characters and is heterozygous.

Which of the two systems works 24/7 and protects you regardless of the organism it encounters?

tekilochka [14]

Answer:

non-specific system

Explanation:

The non-specific immune system is the system that works 24 hours a day, 7 days a week and protects you, regardless of the organism you encounter. This system is composed of the general defenses of the organism that work continuously, creating barriers that protect the body from the entry of any pathogen or foreign substance. This system is composed of T cells, which are true killers of pathogens and which guarantee efficient and complete safety.

Although selection operates against deleterious alleles in populations, they are rarely lost from these populations. For example

KonstantinChe [14]

Answer:

Deleterious alleles appear sporadically in a population

Explanation:

A population with a deleterious allele will have no or few individuals that have the ability to pass along these traits. These alleles appear less in a population because of selective pressure but they are not always absent. The alleles appear less often but are are not always passed on and the others that are genetically fit are able to pass along their genes. The reason the population equilibrium is not zero is because these alleles do appear but they are not necessarily passed along. These individuals may not be able to reproduce or reach the age of reproduction.

Deleterious alleles appear more often, making individuals less fit genetically, i.e. they pass fewer copies of their genes to future generations. Put another way, natural selection purges the deleterious alleles.
