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

Biology

Zarrin [17]3 years ago

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.

What are the primary atoms that make up the scents that we smell? 2. is scent subjective? why or why not? 3. what are the two di
aleksandrvk [35]

Answer: seen below

Explanation:

1) The olfactory receptor can recognize and respond to different ordor, For humans, most odorant molecules are made up of combinations of 5 kinds of atoms: these are, carbon, hydrogen, oxygen, nitrogen, and sulfur.

2) yes, scent is subjective. This is because there is likely variation in people's sensitivity to odor or personal appreciation of different odors. Not everyone smells the same thing.

3) The two proposed theories for the mechanics of scent recognition are; vibration theory and shape theory which is also called the lock and key model. The main problem with one of Turin theories is that we can't currently predict odor character from vibration any better than we can from shape. That is we are still terrible at predicting ordor character from molecular structure.

4) Science has contributed to the creation of scented products and perfumes by having chemical Mixtures Tested in labs and addition of substances for smell.

5) Scents or fragrances are used in cosmetology as perfumes, lotions, shampoos, face washes, body cream, conditioners, etc. Cosmetologist need to be aware of scents and fragrances because if a perfume had a scent that did not smell right then no one would want to purchase their product.
