Hepppp!!! The American curl is a type of cat with curled ears. A single gene with two alleles codes for the ear-shape trait. The

dominant allele (R) codes for curled ears, and the recessive allele (r) codes for straight ears. If two curled ear cats produce a kitten that has straight ears, what is the genotype of the parent cats? a Rr x Rr b RR x RR c RR x Rr d Rr x rr

Answer:

Rr Rr

Explanation: The parents of the cat have to have an R allele to be a curled cat, but they can't be RR because that is a dominant gene, meaning that the recessive trait cannot happen. This means that the parents have to have a recessive trait, which means that they are heterozygous.

At the molecular level, gene duplication often produces novelty in a lineage. This process provides another evolutionary pathway
alukav5142 [94]

Answer:

Bridgham et al. (2006) showed that the interaction between a steroid hormone (aldosterone-M) and its receptor (mineralocorticoid) evolved by Darwinian gradualism. In this work, the authors demonstrated  a primitive affinity between the hormone and its receptor that was initially present in chemically similar but more ancient ligands. This result has implications in understanding the association between gene duplication and the evolution of hormone signaling pathways. For example, in invertebrates, this work reinforces the importance of gene duplication in the existing interaction between paralogous glucocorticoid receptors and their receptor mineralocorticoid genes that were derived from duplication (Thornton 2001).

The publications above cited are the following:
