Answer: False
The variations in expression depends on how genes code for proteins
that would specify whether it will be dominant or recessive allele. Within a population, there may be a number of
alleles for a given gene and these differences
can cause variations in the protein that is produced. The change in protein
expression affect traits due to the variations in protein activity or
expression that produce different phenotypes.
<span>Moreover, individuals that have copies of
different alleles are known as heterozygous
and individuals that have two copies of the same
allele are referred to a homozygous. The expression patterns observed in
inheritance will depend on whether the allele is found on an autosomal
chromosome or a sex chromosome, and on whether the allele is dominant or recessive.</span>
Answer: Earthworms and gorillas.
Explanation:
Paramecia and salamanders. Ask the students to list as many features as they can think of that their two organisms have in common.
Answer:
1/8 (12.5%)
Explanation:
An autosomal recessive disease is an inherited disease in which an individual need to receive both defective alleles at the same gene <em>locus</em> to be expressed in the phenotype. In this case, both parents are carriers of the recessive mutant allele associated with the sickle cell anaemia trait, thereby both parents are heterozygous, ie., each parent has one copy of the normal allele 'H' and one copy of the defective mutant allele 'h' associated with this condition. In consequence, their first child has a 1/4 (25%) chance of having sickle-cell anaemia. Moreover, the chance of having a girl is 1/2 and the chance of having a boy is 1/2, thereby the final chance of having a girl sickle cell anaemia individual is 1/4 x 1/2 = 1/8 (12.5%).
- Parental cross for sickle cell anaemia trait = Hh x Hh >>
- F1 = 1/4 HH (normal); 1/2 Hh (normal); 1/4 hh (sickle cell anaemia) >>
- Sex proportion of sickle cell anaemia individuals = 1/8 female sickle cell anaemia individuals + 1/8 male sickle cell anaemia individuals (1/8 + 1/8 = 1/4)
Answer:
the cell membrane is the semi-permeable protective cover that keeps the cell held together. the cytoplasm is semi-fluid within the cell membrane that keeps the cell in shape.
Explanation:
It would be around super giant
