Answer:

The number of genes partially explains how an organism has evolved and how it gained complexity.

Explanation:

The number of genes of a bacteria versus an eucaryotic organism is quite distinct and so is their complexity. A prokaryotic organism like a bacteria has a set of genes necessary to exert their basic functions and the number of genes compared to a eucaryotic cell is 3-30 times smaller, which defines a direct correlation of number of genes and complexity. However if we consider only eucaryote organisms and their complexity there is no such direct correlation between number of genes and their complexity when, for example, we compare the number of genes of humans (approximately 18000) and the number of genes of the <em>Trichomonas vaginalis, </em>an anaerobic, flagellated protozoan parasite and the causative agent of trichomoniasis. The number of genes of <em>T. vaginalis</em> is far bigger than the human cell, however the human complexity is far more advanced than the parasite organism.

The character having curly hair is dominant and straight hair is recessive ,why?​

Because one parent contributed a C and the other contributed an s, the child will have both genes and their hair will be wavy. (Although curly hair is technically dominant, hair type is an example of incomplete dominance, so the curly hair doesn't cancel out the straight hair entirely.

4. Cross a white bull with a white cow. Show the Punnett Square:
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

100% white cow

Explanation:

This question involves a single gene coding for skin color in cattle. The allele for red color (R) is codominant with the allele for white color (r). Hence, the roan cattle (Rr) will possess both red and white coloration.

According to this question, a white bull (rr) is crossed with a white cow (rr). Each parent will produce the "r" gamete, which when used in a punnet square will produce all WHITE COWS i.e 100% white cows. See punnet square attached.

Atoms of which two elements will form an ionic bond? A and O, Fe and Co, Mg and Cl, or Rb and Al
viva [34]

The atoms of Mg (Magnesium) and Cl (Chlorine) will form an ionic bond. Ionic bond is basically formed by the sharing of electrons. Magnesium being a metal has two electrons in its outermost shell which Mg can readily loose to attain stability, chlorine on the other hand has seven electrons in the outermost shell so it can accept one electron to attain stability. So, both Mg  Cl can form ionic bond with each other so form a stable compound MgCl2.
