A.) An allele is a version of a gene that can be expressed as a phenotype.
Let's complete the question by adding the missing piece of information
The mutation results in the breed's distinctive point markings (ears, mask, tail and legs) and lighter body color. Use this information to explain the pattern of the cat's fur pigmentation.
Answer:
The mutation of the TYR gene results in the enzyme tyrosinase to be heat susceptible. Tyrosinase takes part in the production of melanin to give darker fur in colder areas. The areas like the tail, legs, ears, and face do lack as much body heat and so will get darker.
Explanation:
A unique protein (enzyme), known as tyrosinase, is the major workhorse in the development of the melanin. A research team from the University of California, USA, led by L. A. Lyons, discovered that Siamese cats have tyrosinase that went through mutation due to the changes in the DNA helix and is temperature-sensitive as it's activity reduces with a rise in temperature. This explains why cat’s warm parts of the body are coated with white, melanin-lacking hair since Tyrosinase is deactivated in these regions and melanin is not developed – hair is white-colored. On the other hand, in cooler boundary the enzyme is active and the melanin is formed – hair has dark color.
The Rocky Mountains are a major mountain range located in the American Midwest that span more than 3000 miles. both a and c are correct. They are not part of the grand canyon.
Answer:
You didn't put a description, maybe if you do i can answer it
Explanation:
Answer:
cultivated plant variety with its wild type variety.
Explanation:
The farmer cross the cultivated plant variety to its wild type which has the characteristics of resistance against diseases. Due to crossing, the offspring produce having resistance against that disease as well as producing high yield. This type of crossing is known as artificial selection in which humans cross two organisms to get the desired characteristics in their offspring so to get a plant with resistance against disease we cross cultivated plant variety to its wild type.
