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.

Sally's brother is color-blinded. her husband is normal. what is the chance for her son to be color-blinded?
lozanna [386]

The inheritance of colorblindness gene is X linked. Sally is a female, she'll have two copies of X chromosomes. Since she is not colorblind indicates that she is a carrier of the gene, the presence of at least one functional gene on either of the X chromosome in Sally prevented colorblindness in her. The chances that her husband will have a colorblind child is 25% (1:3) and 50% for the colorblind son (1:1),based on the solved punnett square in the image, where X' denotes the colorblindness gene.

Which biotic and abiotic factors are different between a lion and a deer?
nevsk [136]
They are both biotic factors because they affect living organisms. The abiotic factor a lion and deer needs is water because they need to stay hydrated but water is not living . Deers eat plants, plants are known as biotic factors too. And lions eat their prey which are living animals and once they are preyed upon they are still considered biotic because they were once living before getting consumed by the lion.
