This is because these characteristics normally have a low survival value for the species. Natural selection is a process that causes heritable traits that are helpful for survival and reproduction to become more common, and more harmful traits to become rare. This occurs because organisms with advantageous traits pass on more of these heritable traits to the next generation.

Define purebred using both terms genotype and allele.
arlik [135]

Answer:

Purebred can be described as organisms that result from true-breeding. True breeding occurs parents who have a homozygous genotype are crossed so that the offspring produced might be similar to them. The alleles of the desired genes will be the same in the parents which will breed and produce similar alleles in their offsprings.

However, the phenomenon of pure breeding limits the gene pool and genetic variety becomes limited by such methods.

Explain why the resistance of the current path through the extracellular fluid is much smaller than the resistance of the curren
vodka [1.7K]

Answer:

The correct answer is - the large cross-sectional area and greater length of the cytoplasmic core get less resistance than the smaller cross-sectional area.

Explanation:

The greater length and the large cross-sectional area of the cytoplasmic path or core get less resistance than the resistance of the current path which is the small cross-sectional area of axoplasm. This leads it to greater resistance than the resistance of the current path through the extracellular fluid.

Other than this there is also an unequal distribution of the ions that leads to the increase in potential difference as higher Na+ ions present in cytoplasm and high amount of K+ ion present in axoplasm.

List the products or outcomes for the following biological processes
Lubov Fominskaja [6]

Answer:

1- DNA replication: two identical DNA strands

2- Transcription: mRNA

3-Translation: proteins

4- Mitosis: two identical diploid somatic cells

5- Meiosis: four different haploid gamete cells

Explanation:

1- DNA replication: through the process of semiconservative DNA replication two identical DNA strands are created

2- Transcription: the process by which DNA becomes mRNA

3-Translation: the process by which mRNA becomes proteins

4- Mitosis: a parent cell will split into two identical diploid somatic cells, this process is used to replace old cells

5- Meiosis: a parent cell will split into four different haploid gamete cells, this process is used to create ovary/testes cells
