They are controlled by more than one gene

Answer:

The correct answer would be "they are polygenic traits".

Polygenic traits are those which are controlled by at least two different genes.

As more than two genes are involved in controlling a single trait, so they show more variations as compared to the traits which are controlled by a single gene.

For example, height is controlled by at least three genes and thus six alleles are involved in regulating height.  

Polygenic traits often show a bell-shaped curve in a population.

Answer:

A. They were part of the control group

Explanation:

In a scientific experiment, the CONTROL GROUP as opposed to the experimental group is the group that does not receive the experimental treatment. This acts as a standard for comparison.

In this question, the EXPERIMENTAL VACCINE is the experimental treatment or independent variable that was added. The five animal test subjects that was injected with this vaccine are called the EXPERIMENTAL GROUP while the other five test subjects that were rather injected with a PLACEBO are called CONTROL GROUPS.

Why do sexually reproducing organisms need gametes? Why don’t asexually reproducing organisms need them?
Nana76 [90]
Gametes are reproductive cells that unite during sexual reproduction to form a new cell called a zygote. Sexual reproduction needs zygotes to reproduce that is why gametes are needed. Asexual reproduction doesn’t need gametes because there is only one parent and there is no fusion of gametes.

EastWind [94]

Answer:

The correct answer is: peptidoglycan cell walls and small ribosomes.

Explanation:

Antibiotics such as penicillin are great at attacking bacteria and must be used when dealing with bacterial infections.

Antibiotics work by messing with the bacteria cell wall. The bacteria cell wall is made from peptidoglycan and the strength and support given by it is key to the survival of these prokaryotes. <u>To attack the bacteria, the antibiotics inhibit the assembly of peptidoglycan.</u>
