Question: A gene for corn has two alleles, one for yellow kernels and one for white kernels. Cross pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. Which term best describes the relationship between the two alleles?
a) Incomplete dominance
b) Genetic recombination
c) Chimerism
d) Codominance
Answer:
d) codominance
Explanation:
Codominance is a pattern of inheritance when none of the alleles of a gene is able to mask the expression of the other allele of the same gene. When the two alleles are present together in a heterozygous genotype, both are expressed and the phenotype of the heterozygote is different from both the pure breeding parents. In the given example, cross-pollination of yellow corn and white corn results in the ears of corn that have an approximately even mix of yellow and white kernels. This means that the heterozygote expresses both the allele for the corn color. Therefore, it represents codominance.
Since all thoroughbreds have the same birthday — January 1 — the best bet for a racing horse is to raise so that the foal drops right after that date. This means the yearling at his first birthday is a five-year-old and from then on he is ahead of the game with a five year of maturation before each.
Explanation:
The experimenter alters the independent variable with the hopes of collecting data about how the dependent variable changes in response.Other variables have to be controlled so that any changes of the dependent variable are attributed to the known independent variable.
The answer is Charles Darwin. He was the first to theorize evolution from a common ancestor.
