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.

In an article about saving the whales written by a marine biologist, which word might be used by the author to make you want to

fgiga [73]

Answer:

Endangered

Explanation:

Endangered species are organisms that are at risk of extinction if deliberate efforts are not made to conserve them due to a rapid decrease in their population.

Hence, if a marine biologist writes an article about saving whales and labels them as endangered species, all efforts should be geared towards saving the animals lest they go extinct and leave a vacuum in the functioning of the ecosystem. Every species have the critical roles they play in the functioning of the ecosystem and the extinction of any particular species represents a loss that might not be replaceable.

Design an experiment to find a temperature at which a meat tenderizer works the best

marysya [2.9K]

In order to determine this, we will require some pieces of meat, preferably taken from the same animal and from the same area and of similar size. After the pieces of meat are obtained, they are sealed in a container with equal quantities of meat tenderizer. Then, keep the containers in different temperatures.
After fixed time intervals, say 3 hours, record the appearance and texture of the meat. Repeat this until readings for 5-6 time intervals have been obtained.
