When the gene is considered pleiotropic, this means that a single gene controls or influences multiple and possibly unrelated phenotypic traits. Phenotypic traits are characteristics of an organism that is can be easily observed. Such as size, color, shape and behavior.

In order to test the implications of early emotional bonding, scientists have done testing on infant emotionality by separating
timofeeve [1]

In order to test the implications of early emotional bonding, scientists have done testing on infant emotionality by separating animal babies from their natural mothers, allowing them to be raised by another of their same species. This testing strategy is called Cross fostering

  • Transfer of children between mothers is known as cross-fostering. This method is used to distinguish between environmental and genetic impacts on behavior.
  • Transferring some freshly born or hatched young of species A from their mother nest to the nests of species B is the primary process of cross-fostering.
  • A behavior can be proven to have a genetic foundation if cross-fostered offspring have a behavioral attribute that is distinct from that of their foster parents and similar to that of their biological parents.
  • Similarly, environmental variables are proven to be dominating if the offspring exhibits qualities that are different from those of their biological parents and comparable to those of their foster parents.
  • There is frequently a combination of the two, demonstrating both genes.
  • This can be utilized in selective livestock breeding to combine desirable genetic traits like weight, fat distribution, or looks with ones that are influenced by the environment, like temper.

How does the suns energy cause a hurricane to form
BigorU [14]
The sun heats the land and oceans unevenly, creating areas of upwards and downwards moving air as well as pressure differences. This causes air to flow from one area to another. For hurricanes the sun heats the ocean, causing some water to evaporate. The water vapor powers convection in storms which can then <span>strengthen and organize to form hurricanes. Hope this helps:)

Why was the cow insulin an effective substitute for the human insulin?
Ray Of Light [21]
Pork and beef insulins are similar to human insulin, differing only in one or a few amino acids. However, even a slight difference is enough to elicit an allergic response in some people. To overcome this problem, researchers looked for ways to make insulin that would more closely resemble human insulin.
