One issue with cloned plants is that they are all the same. Yes, they may all yield the same delicious corn- but if one thing goes wrong, that would be detrimental.

What if that one clone population of corn was weak against one type of mold, for example? If that mold was able to infect just one- it'll eventually spread like wildfire to all the other clone plants & wipe out an entire crop.

That would be a huge waste of money, time, resources &, most saddening of all: no corn...

So, the answer choice should be C.

Hope that helps!

A woman with normal BRCA alleles has a child with a man who has one mutated BRCA1 allele. What is the probability that the child
grigory [225]

Answer:

50%

Explanation:

According to the given information, the woman has normal BRCA alleles while the man carries one copy of the mutated BRCA allele (BRCA1). A diploid organism such as human beings can have two BRCA alleles. A child gets one BRCA allele from the mother and the other from the father.

The child of the couple would get one normal allele from the woman. However, with respect to the BRCA allele, the man would form two types of gametes in equal proportion. The 50% of his gametes would have the mutated BRCA1 allele while the rest 50% would carry the normal BRCA allele. Therefore, the man can transmit either normal or mutated BRCA allele to the child. So, there are 50% chances for the child to get the mutated allele.

Amphibians moved to a terrestrial environment; however, they did not evolve the ability to live their entire lives on land. Expl
Gekata [30.6K]

Answer:

See the answer below

Explanation:

<em>Amphibians are not totally adapted to live on land because the aquatic environment is needed for several life processes such as </em><em>reproduction</em><em>, </em><em>respiration</em><em>, and sometimes, </em><em>feeding</em><em>.</em>

<u>The eggs of amphibians are without any protective shells and will suffer desiccation in the terrestrial environment. Hence, water is needed in order to protect the eggs. In addition, the male am</u>phibians shed their sperm in the water close to the female eggs.

<u>The young ones of amphibians are essentially aquatic and may not survive out of water for a long time because they only breathe gills</u> - the lung is yet to develop or poorly developed at this stage. They have to grow and develop to a certain stage in water before they can start surviving on land.
