In humans, the DMD gene is required for proper muscle function. Mutations in the DMD gene display X-linked recessive inheritance

that leads to muscular dystrophy. The DMD gene has enhancers that are required for gene expression in specific muscles of the body. enh1 is required for expression in the heart; enh2 is required for expression in the arm muscles; enh3 is required for expression in the leg muscles. For an individual with the genotype listed below, what phenotype would you expect

Answer:

Explanation:

As the inheritance is X-linked,recesson so for expression of muscular dystrophy in any given muscle,

\frac{enh1-    enh2+   enh3 -   DMD+ }{enh1-    enh2+   enh3 +   DMD+}

enh1+ /enh1 + = Shows muscular dystrophy in heart (Homozygous for -)

enh2+/enh2+ = Shows no muscular dystrophy in arms (Homozygous for +)

enh3-/enh3+ = variabl or mosaic for muscular dystrophy in leg muscles (Hetrozygous for enh3)

strojnjashka [21]

The answer is  Lionfish are native to the tropical Pacific. There are no natural water routes of warm water between the Pacific and Atlantic oceans.

Invasive species is a species that colonizes an environment in which it is not a native species and tends to upset the natural balance of that environment. Lionfish are naturally found in the indo-pacific, which is their native environment. However, their presence in the eastern United States has have threatened the ecosystem of the region. The fish has decimated fisheries and reef ecosystem since they also don’t have natural predators in the region. Therefore, their population explodes unchecked.

Question 1 of 34
Ivenika [448]

Answer:

A) They occupy different niches due to competition for food.

Explanation:

According to Joseph Grinnel - "An ecological niche is the distributional unit within which each species is held by its structural and instinctive limitation. No two species in the same general territory can occupy the same ecological niche". Hence, the two lizard species have separated their trophic niches i.e. the ecological niche in which they feed, as they both have common preys that is the insects. this will avoid competition and would provide enough food for both the species.
