During the miocene epoch of the Cenozoic era, there was an adaptive radiation of Apes. During the miocene, hominods radiated and dominate the primate world. The Miocene is a geological epoch that existed from roughly 24 million years ago to about 5.3 million years ago. During this period much of the continental Earth formed. The continents moved into positions that are recognizable in modern times, and flora and fauna evolved into species that exist today.

Gestational diabetes occurs when a pregnant woman has high levels of blood sugar. Cells in the pancreas usually keep blood sugar

Ahat [919]

Answer:

environment controlling gene expression

Explanation:

Gestational diabetes generally occurs in pregnant women. The sugar level in the bloodstream becomes little high than the normal range during pregnancy. But the glucose level returns to normal after child birth.

The pancreas secrets insulin which helps to lower the blood sugar level in the body. But during pregnancy, the placenta releases some of the hormones which dilutes the effect of insulin. This is known as insulin resistance. So now the pancreas secretes more of insulin to overcome this insulin resistance for the body. Now if a woman during pregnancy does secrete more insulin, the glucose level increases in the body and the woman develops gestational diabetes.

Gestational diabetes greatly depends upon obesity and the ethnicity of the women, but a definite genetic link has not been identified.

This it is a result of the environment control gene expression.

1. The diagram below shows a happy family of mice, with two parents and four offspring.

Oliga [24]

Answer:

The diagram is not attached but the question can be solved with the question alone, since the necessary information was provided.

• D. Offspring D (ff EE)

Explanation:

This is a cross involving two genes in mice. The two parents mice are crossed to produce four offsprings. The genotypes of the parents mice are FFEe (black fur) and ffEe (white fur).

These two parents will produce the following allelic combinations of gametes;

FFEe- FE, Fe, FE, Fe

ffEe- fE, fe, fE, Fe

Using these gametes in a pumnet square (see attached image), 16 possible offsprings will be produced with only three (3) distinct genotypes viz:

FfEE (4/16)

FfEe (8/16)

Ffee (4/16)

Hence, based on this question, all of the offsprings except offspring D (ffEE) is likely to be produced. This means that the offspring with genotype ffEE is the imposter as the parents mice with genotypes FFEe and ffEe could not have given birth to such offspring.
