What distribution of phenotypes would be expected for a polygenic trait?

Biology

rewona [7]3 years ago

 The number of phenotypes produced for a given trait depends on how many genes control the trait. Anyhow, The distribution of phenotypes for a typical polygenic trait can often be expressed as a bell-shaped curve.

Many traits are controlled by two or more genes and are, therefore, called polygenic traits<span>. Each gene of a polygenic trait often has two or more alleles. As a result, one polygenic trait can have many possible genotypes and phenotypes.</span>

Unicellular and simple multicellular organisms isolate and eliminate waste materials by:
elixir [45]

Answer:

The correct option is d.

Unicellular and simple multicellular organisms isolate and eliminate waste materials by: <u>moving the wastes into a contractile vacuole and eliminating them through exocytosis.</u>

Explanation:

In all living systems, from prokaryotes to more complex multicellular eukaryotes, the regulation of substance exchange with the inanimate world occurs at the level of the individual cell and is performed by the cell membrane. The cell membrane regulates the passage of materials into and out of the cell, a function that makes it possible for the cell to maintain its structural and functional integrity. This regulation depends on interactions between the membrane and the materials that pass through it. Non-assimilable substances accumulate in vacuoles or fuse with the plasma membrane, and exocytosis expels their contents.

Exocytosis is an inverse process of endocytosis, in which an intracellular vesicle approaches the plasma membrane fusing with it so that the content of said vesicle is poured into the extracellular environment. By exocytosis, the cell can expel the remains of the cell digestion process that are not useful to it and also the secretion products from the Golgi apparatus in the form of secretory vesicles. If too much water enters the cell, it could dilute the cell contents to the point of interfering with biological functions and could eventually break the cell membrane. In the Paramecium, there is a specialized organelle, the contractile vacuole, which prevents this from happening since it collects water from various parts of the cell and pumps it out with rhythmic contractions.

How do the condition in the United States change when the jet streams moves to the south
Leona [35]

This jet stream—the one that forms at the polar front—affects weather in the United States. ... This shift occurs because the entire hemisphere is cooler, so the boundary between the cold polar air and the warm southern air shifts south. As a result, the jet stream shifts toward the south in winter.

How might an athlete use vital lung capacity compared to a non athlete
kramer
An athlete would have a larger vital capacity than a non-athlete aerobic ability would find people with larger lungs and hence a bigger vital capacity. The vital capacity of an athlete is higher than a non-athlete because they are trying to do hard work their legs to get bigger and bigger over time making it easier for them
