Answer:

The correct answer is bottleneck effect.

Explanation:

The phenomenon of bottleneck effect takes place when some natural events like a tsunami or an earthquake result in the destruction of the majority of the population and leave behind some to survive. Due to the bottleneck affect the genetic diversity within the population gets reduced drastically as the majority of the population gets perished, this results in the eradication of some of the genes from the population, while the left genes are passed onto the next progenies.  

The bottleneck effect results in the generation of the new population as the leftover individuals further inbreed and give rise to a new population comprising the leftover genes. It is not necessary that the left genes passing on to the next generation are better than the one, which got eliminated, as the left genes have got selected by chance. Thus, it can be concluded that the given case is an illustration of the bottleneck effect.

madam [21]

Answer:

The alleles for red and white coat color are co-dominant.

Explanation:

Co-dominance is the condition when none of the allele of a gene is dominant. The heterozygous genotype exhibits traits of both alleles.

In the given example, the offspring have roan coat color in which white hairs are mixed into a base coat of red. Since both the alleles are expressed in heterozygous offspring, the alleles for red and white coat colors are co-dominant over each other.

What copies dna code
NARA [144]

In the simplest sense, expressing a gene means manufacturing its corresponding protein, and this multilayered process has two major steps. In the first step, the information in DNA is transferred to a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule by way of a process called transcription.
