Answer:

Pleiotropy

Explanation:

Pleiotropy is a condition that occurs when one gene affect several other phenotypic traits that are not related. The autosomal dominant allele of the genetic disease called blue sclera, is pleiotropic. It has the potential of causing also fragile bones and deafness which are entirely unrelated traits. Genetic mutation of a gene is the most likely explainable reason for the connection of these traits together.

Why are metals good conductors of electricity but covalent compounds are poor conductors
Nataly [62]
The electrons in the outermost shell of the covalent compounds are shared by nearby atoms. As there are no free electrons for conducting electricity, the covalent compounds are perfect insulators at absolute zero. As the temperature increases, some electrons move from valence band to conduction band. This gives rise to conductivity. But as the numbers of charge carriers are very low, covalent compounds are poor conductors. On the other hand metals are good conductors cause of their bonding. Metallic bonding consists of a sea of electrons rather than discreet bonds. The free electrons are able to move freely. Since electricity and heat need electrons to move, the bonding promotes conductivity.
