A punnet square predict the traits of offspring genetic crosses and test crosses.

<u>Explanation:</u>

In pea plants, the traits or characteristics inheritance is been observed and studies by Gregor Mendel. A model was proposed by him, in which the characteristics or traits are specified from genes. Genes can take different alleles or versions. The appearance of an organism can be determined by the dominant alleles. These hides the characteristics of recessive alleles.

The law of segregation is, When gametes are made by an organism the copy of one gene is passed to each gametes. The combinations of allele which is genotype, and the phenotypes which are the characteristics that are observable can be predicted by a Punnett square. This is done by  genetic crosses. In order to predict whether the organism is heterozygous or homozygous can be determined by a test crosses.

Answer:

d. vary and change for both males and females from culture to culture

Explanation:

Gender roles vary for both females and males across cultures. This can be observed in the way some societies are patriarchal and some are matriarchal. For example: in many Asian cultures, traditionally males head the families. It's their responsibility to engage in outside work and take important decisions for the family while women take care of household chores. This is reversed in some cultures like that present in Meghalaya, India. Here women are dominant figures in households. They inherit property, give their family name to children and after marriage the man comes to live with the woman's family. Hence gender roles are variable culture to culture.

A population that is isolated in a remote environment is still able to experience genetic variation How could genetic variation
goblinko [34]

A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.

Explanation:

The genetic variation results from the different alleles of a population. The mutation or mistake in DNA replication would cause gene variants which may be beneficial. The variation in the DNA sequence of genome results in variants in small population.

Genetic variation is the cause of natural selection and eventually, evolution takes place with beneficial traits.

It is mentioned in the question that resulting offspring having received the mutant allele could result in better surviving capabilities or phenotypic traits as they are able to outrun predators.

Alexxandr [17]

"Eukaryote" roughly translates as "truly nucleated" and refers to organisms with a membrane-bound nucleus.

Such membrane-bound organelles are thought to have arisen via the invagination of the cell's own plasma membrane.

Other organelles such as the mitochondria and the chloroplast are believed to have once existed as separate organisms, but which were engulfed by other cells, forming a symbiotic relationship.
