How could two genetically identical oak trees have different heights when tree height is a heritable trait?

Biology
1 answer:
Zarrin [17]3 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The heritable characters are the traits that are determined by the heredity material (genetic material) of the organism.

The heritable trait ensures the reproductive success of the species but the trait is also influenced by the environment.

In the given question, the height of the oak trees is determined by the genetic material but the variation on height is the result of the environmental characteristics.  The height of the tree could have varied due to the exposure to the sunlight (more sunlight more height) or the available nutrients.

Solar energy is a form of renewable energy, namely energy that cannot be depleted. Other forms of energy like carbon based sources of energy cannot be renewed in a reasonable span after being used (forests take time to grow and oil is created in geological timescales). Joe is trying to deal with the phenomenon of resource depletion. The way he goes about it is making a renewable source of energy more efficient and usable.

In Europe, approximately 4% of people are red-haired, mostly due to a recessive mutation in the melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R).
Wewaii [24]

Answer:

33%.

Explanation:

The 4% population is red-hair due to the recessive mutation in melanocortin 1 receptor (MC1R).

Since, the population is in Hardy-Weinberg equillibrium- laet the frequency of recessive allele with red - hair is 'q' and the frequency of dominant allele in the population is 'p'.

q^{2} =4\%

q^{2} = 0.04

q=0.2

According to hardy-weinberg equillibrium

(p+q)=1

p=1-q

p=1-0.2

p=0.8.

The total population with non red hair is calculated by

=p^{2} +2pq

= 0.64 + 0.32

= 0.96

The percentage of the population with non red headed carrier for MC1Rr is calculated by:

=0.32/0.96*100

=33%

Thus, the correct answer is (B).
