Organisms inherit specific traits and characteristics from their parents. Albinism is an inherited disorder that occurs when an

organism is unable to produce or distribute melanin. Melanin is a substance in the body that helps determine skin color, hair color, and eye color. An albino alligator. Which is the basic unit of heredity that carries the trait of albinism from parent to offspring? base pairs genes proteins codons

Answer:

Genes

Explanation:

  • Genes are the units of inheritance. They contain information (DNA) required for the production of normal, functional proteins responsible for various bodily functions.
  • Albinism is a group of inherited disorders that result in little or no production of a pigment called melanin.
  • Albinism is associated with skin, hair and particularly, eye problems as melanin is involved in the development of some optic nerves.
  • Albinism has two major forms, both linked to genetic mutations.
  • Oculocutaneous albinism (OCA) is associated with eyes, skin and hair. It is autosomal recessive i.e. an individual needs to inherit the mutated (recessive) allele from both parents.
  • Ocular albinism type 1 is the other form of albinism that only involves the eyes, although the skin and hair will still be of a lighter tone. It is an X-linked disorder i.e. the mutated gene is present on the X chromosome. Since, males have only one X chromosome, they are more susceptible to ocular albinism type 1.

Some autoimmune diseases show a positive correlation with dramatically decreased expression of histone deacetylase (HDAC9, an en
soldier1979 [14.2K]

Answer:

The positive charge of the histone proteins get reduced due to the process of histone acetylation, thus making the wrapping of DNA around the histones less tightened. The loose connected DNA afterward associates with the transcription factors for the articulation of the genes situated in that area.  

Generally, when there is no requirement of gene anymore, the acetyl groups from the histones get withdrawn by the activity of histone deacetylase enzyme (HDAC9) that makes the DNA tightly wrapped and inaccessible again. In case, when less expression of histone deacetylase enzyme occurs, the process of deacetylation fails to take place. This indicates that within an immune cell, at the time of infection, the inflammatory gene, which was made available does not get re-wrapped firmly around the histones.

Chronic overfishing disrupts a coral reef ecosystem, making the reef more susceptible to bleaching and resulting in die-off even
boyakko [2]

Answer:

The missing word is Depletion.

 

Explanation:

Depletion of the coral reef can occur when the coral reef is overfished. Demand for fish is moving in the same direction with the rapidly escalating population growth rate.

One side effect of unsustainable, uncontrolled fishing is that certain species might become overfished and therefore go extinct.

This creates an ecological imbalance, which accelerates the Coral Reef's degradation.

Cheers!

The inhabitants of the planet Mendel have three alleles for hair color: red (R), white (W) and blue (b). The R and W alleles exh
Alex_Xolod [135]

Answer:

4 RW pink hair color

Explanation:

Let the allele for red hair color = R

Let the allele for white hair color = W

Let the allele for blue hair color = b

Since R and W exhibit co dominance it means none of both traits have the tendency or capability to masked the other .

As such individual with RW genotype = PInk hair color

Allele b is recessive and only individuals with the genotype bb exhibit the blue allele  

Now; if a cross occurs between a red-haired Mendelian and a white-haired Mendelian

i.e

RR   × WW

we have

           R           R

W         RW       RW

W        RW         RW

So we have the following offspring :

4 RW = 4 pink

So theoretically , the possible phenotypes results to 4 RW pink hair color
