How do genes determine the traits of an organism? Explain in detail

Biology
1 answer:
Whitepunk [10]4 years ago
7 0
The traits an organism displays are ultimately determined by the genes it inherited from its parents, in other words by its genotype. Animals have two copies of all their chromosomes, one from each parent.

Which type of solution would cause a bacterium with a weak or damaged cell wall to burst as water moves into the cell? hints whi
taurus [48]

The type of solution that would cause a bacterium with a weak or damaged cell wall to burst as water moves into the cell is a hypotonic solution.

When a bacteria with a weak cell wall is kept in a hypotonic solution, the concentration of the water outside the cell is large, and within the cell it is low. This concentration gradient of water forces the water from the outside to exert force onto the cell wall. If the cell wall is weak, then the water rushes in bursting the cell.

At which ocean-floor feature do plates move together?
frozen [14]

Answer:

divergent plate boundaries

Seafloor spreading occurs at divergent plate boundaries. As tectonic plates slowly move away from each other, heat from the mantle's convection currents makes the crust more plastic and less dense.

Small, isolated populations of collared lizards remain in glades of desert-like habitat scattered throughout the oak-hickory for
dusya [7]

Answer:

Option A

Explanation:

Options

A. most populations were fixed for a single genotype, but genotypes varied among populations

B. average heterozygosity was declining steadily over time

C. individual populations were polymorphic for several loci and most populations were genetically similar to one another

D. all populations were fixed for the same allele at each locus studied

Solution

As per the study conducted by Templeton, it was found that human affect the biodiversity at all biological levels such as genetic, ecosystem, species etc. and behind genetic variation two important factors are genetic drift and gene flow.  

Both the gene flow and genetic drift produce opposite results as genetic drift increase variation with in the species but decrease variation with in the local population and the opposite of this happens in gene flow.  

Genetic drift has actually lead to speciation of collared lizards  among themselves for a specific genotype

Hence, option A is correct
