Recessive Inheritance

When a trait is recessive, an individual must have two copies of a recessive allele to express the trait. Recessive alleles are denoted by a lowercase letter (a versus A). Only individuals with an aa genotype will express a recessive trait; therefore, offspring must receive one recessive allele from each parent to exhibit a recessive trait. One example of a recessive inherited trait is a smooth chin, as opposed to a dominant cleft chin. Let (S) represent the dominant allele, and (s) represent the recessive allele. Only (ss) individuals will express a smooth chin. To determine the probability of inheritance of a smooth chin (or any other recessive trait), the genotypes of the parents must be considered. If one parent is heterozygous (Ss) and the other is homozygous recessive (ss), then half of their offspring will have a smooth chin.  In other words, any of the offspring will have a fifty percent chance of having a smooth chin. A Punnett square can be used to determine all possible genotypic combinations in the parents.

Hope it helped!!

The more metabolically active a cell is, the more ________ it's membrane contains.
Vedmedyk [2.9K]
When a cell is metabolically active it means there are a series of enzyme-catalysed reactions occuring in the cell (metabollic pathway) that determine the nutrients to be used for production of energy. The more metabolically active a  cell is the more proteins its membrane contain while the less active a cell is the more fats its membrane contains.

How would inbreeding affect allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in a population?
Finger [1]
<h2>Inbreeding </h2>

Explanation:

Inbreeding is defined as the formation of offspring which results from the mating of two closely related organisms

Inbreeding affects allele frequencies and genotype frequencies in a population in following ways:

  • Inbreeding increases homozygosity which in turn decreases the biological fitness of a population because there are chances that offsprings will be affected by deleterious traits in this case
  • Inbreeding itself does not cause evolution, because allele frequencies do not change in the population as a whole
