Polydactyly is an autosomal dominant trait in which affected individuals have more than five fingers and/or toes. If a pedigree

Answer:

Reduced penetrance or incomplete penetrance

Explanation:

Penetrance refers to the extend which a certain gene or set of genes is expressed in a population.

It can be complete where there is expression of the gene in a population having it.

Whereas, in reduced penetrance is where the mutation is not expressed in every individual in the population having it.

For instance polydactyly exhibits reduced penetrance since the parents had the mutation it was not expressed it came to be expressed on their pedigree.

Answer:

-What types of toxins were found in the waters of the Lower Passaic Superfund site?

DDT and agent orange were found in the waters of the Lower Passaic Superfund site.

-How were some fish able to survive PCB levels thousands of times higher than sensitive fish can withstand?

in some tolerant fish, the trigger for the changes that can be caused by PCB levels are can be turned off which allows some fish to survive levels of PCB thousands of times higher than the levels affecting sensitive fish.

-What is the advantage of a large population for rapid evolution?

The advantage of rapid evolution is that the animals can survive and not get killed off.

-Do you think all species would be able to evolve adaptations to help them survive pollutants? Why or why not?

I don't think that all fish can get speedy evolutions like the killfish did because researchers think that they got a rare mutation which helped them survive. However as researchers say, in smaller populations with less diversity the chances that a rare mutation might happen is small.

-What will likely happen to these toxin-adapted fish if the waters are eventually cleaned up?

Once the water becomes clean, a tolerant fish with the mutation won't do as well as a sensitive fish would do.

Answer:

1.  the DNA of which has been modified using genetic engineering methods. In most cases, the aim is to introduce a new trait to the plant which does not occur naturally in the species.

2. GM crops are made through a process known as genetic engineering. Genes of commercial interest are transferred from one organism to another. Two primary methods currently exist for introducing transgenes into plant genomes. The first involves a device called a 'gene gun'.

3. Crops do not damage the environment simply because they are GM. Some farming practices, such as the overuse of herbicides resulting in the excessive eradication of wild plants from farmland have been shown to harm the environment. These problems are similar for non-GM and GM crops.
