Six fingered offspring are formed from normal parents, why?

Biology

Kruka [31]3 years ago

Dominant' traits will actually disappear faster if they are disadvantageous.

Think about it: if everyone who has even a single copy of a particular allele is at a disadvantage (manifests the phenotype, in this case six fingers), then even single copies are selected against.

In the case of recessive traits, selection occurs only against homozygous carriers, who may be very rare if the allele itself is rare.

A concrete example would be something like Tay-Sachs disease. If the allele that causes this were dominant, every carrier would die before adulthood, and it would occur only as a very rare de novo mutation. But because it is recessive, it persists for now; heterozygous carriers have no disadvantage.

The caretaker of a farm feeds hay to the cows to procure milk from them. How much energy will the cows get from the hay?
nikitadnepr [17]

<u>Answer</u>: C) 10%.

<u>Explanation</u>:

  • The cow will get only 10% energy from the hay as the transfer of energy from a lower to a higher trophic level follows the ten percent law.
  • According to the ten percent law of energy transfer, only 10 percent of the total energy gets transferred to the next trophic level in a food chain.
  • For example, if the hay had 100 joules of energy, the cow will get only 10% of 100 J i.e 10 J energy.
  • The reason why only ten percent energy is transferred is because the rest is lost in the form of heat in the atmosphere.

If a pin is .001 m wide how many red blood cells could you line up across a pin
tresset_1 [31]
According to the question, the width of a pin is 0.001m and the width of a red blood cell is 6-8 μm.
Width of pin in μm = 1000μm.
So approximately 1000/8 red blood cells can fit which is equal to 125 RBCs.

Answer: 125 RBCs
