Answer:

INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is an exception to Mendel's pattern of inheritance as he described in his LAW of DOMINANCE, that in an heterozygous state, an allele will mask the expression of its variant pair in a gene. Incomplete dominance has shown that an allele might not be completely dominant over its pair but instead form a hybrid that possesses an intermediate phenotype that is the combination of both parental phenotypes.

An example is when Mendel crossed peas that produced red flowers (RR) will peas that produced white flowers (rr). The red flower allele (R) did not show complete dominance over the white flower allele, instead a heterozygote F1 offspring (Rr) with pink flowers was produced. The pink color was an intermediate phenotype of both white and red.

Fed [463]

Answe: Mutations can cause instant adaptations, while natural selection is the process by which adaptations occurs over a series of generations. Adaptations are changes or processes of changes by which an organism or species becomes better suited for its environment. A mutation is an alteration of the DNA sequence.

Given the energy charge equation below, if a biological system has an EC = 0.8, what is true about the concentrations of ATP, AD

Andrej [43]

Answer:

c. There is more ATP in the system than ADP or AMP.

Explanation:

ATP is an energy molecule, and in the equation is the most important parameter. if you have all concentrations equal, the answer is EC=0.5 independently of the values

If you add more ADP on the system, the total will be reduced due the term on the numerator is divided by 0.5 - values are usually between 0.5-0.6

If you have more ATP on the system the numbers will automatically arise, due the importance of ATP term on the numerator, usually the EC is equal to 0.8-0.87.

If there is more AMP on the system numbers fall because the denominator is much greater than numerator. Usually the EC is equal to 0.5
