Why is a dominant allele called dominant?

Biology
1 answer:
mamaluj [8]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

The correct option is <em>D. It dominates the phenotype.</em>

Explanation:

A dominant allele can be described as the allele which suppresses the effect of a recessive allele. A recessive allele can be described as the allele which gets masked by the dominant allele.

If the gene for a particular trait in an organism is heterozygous, then the organism will show the physical characteristic of the dominant trait. The recessive trait becomes suppressed and might be visible in the next generation if possible.

Which best explains the role of plants in the nitrogen cycle?
Mrac [35]

Answer:

<em>Assimilation</em>

Explanation:

This is how plants get nitrogen. They absorb nitrates from the soil into their roots. Then the nitrogen gets used in amino acids, nucleic acids, and chlorophyll. ... When a plant or animal dies, decomposers like fungi and bacteria turn the nitrogen back into ammonium so it can reenter the nitrogen cycle.

Small populations are more vulnerable to extinction, even with abundant resources, because of (choose any/all that apply):
KiRa [710]

Answer:

environmental stochasticity, and demographic stochasticity.

Explanation:

The small population species are prone to extinction.  Due to the process of evolution, many species raised from a single species.  This is because of variation, different individuals came and survive.  But all the species can't achieve reproductive success. They also can't adapt to the changing environment. The changing of the environment in the biodiversity is called stochasticity. The fewer Populus species can't face the natural selection. As a result, their mortality rate is more and the natality rate is high. Sometimes demographic stochasticity also responsible. The fewer reproduction results in less number of the individual over time. This causes mass extinction. The extinction of dinosaurs is an example of mass extinction. The more reproduction of the species means more variety. They can better adapt to the changing environment.  Some of the extinct animals are also living and known as living fossils. e.g. Armadillo, Platypus. The changing biodiversity and randomness of the population cause the extinction of a small population.
