C. for it to be equal there has to be random mating
A gene mutation is a permanent alteration in the DNA sequence that makes up a gene, such that the sequence differs from what is found in most people. Mutations range in size; they can affect anywhere from a single DNA building block (base pair) to a large segment of a chromosome that includes multiple genes.
Answer:
50%
Explanation:
The allele present on each chromosome determines whether or not that chromosome has a knob. Suppose that one member of each of two pairs of homologs in a corn plant has a knob.
This means that on a chromosome with two chromatids, the allele present on one chromatid causes the chromatid to possess knob while the other does not making the plant an heterozygous...
If this plant is crossed with a knobless plant, one whose Chromebook is without knobs, we have
II x II
II - 50% with a knobbed chromatid
II - 50% with only knobless chromosomes.
The first to the left is knobbed, thus the percentage of offspring expected to have only knobless chromosomes would be 50%.
Answer:
Healthy ecosystems and rich biodiversity are fundamental to life on our planet. Climate change is affecting the habitats of several species, which must either adapt or migrate to areas with more favorable conditions. Even the smallest changes in average temperatures can have a significant effect upon the ecosystems.
