A derived character refers to a particular character that is shared by members of a particular population. Genes are considered to be derived characters because THEY ARE TRANSFER FROM GENERATION TO GENERATION FROM PARENTS TO THEIR OFFSPRING. Genes are derived from the DNA molecule of the parents and these are passed to their offspring during the process of cell division in reproduction.
Parents: Homozygous brown-eyed (M) -
B B blued-eye (F) -
b b [since blue (b) is recessive then and brown (B) is dominant then
in order for the blue gene to
show the you need double recessive or the brown
gene absent
Offspring:
So based on the Punnett cross then you realize that all the possible of spring carry the
genotype B b and as such the
phenotype brown eyes
The correct answer is B. The science of inherited traits
Explanation:
Genetics refers to the field in biology that focuses on studying genes which are the basic units of heredity and therefore the ones that determine inherited traits. Indeed genetic study the way traits are passed through reproduction and also the way genes change over time or express which is closely connected to evolution. Additionally, genetics have been widely studied beginning by the works of Mendel during the 19th century and nowadays the knowledge about genes including the behavior, function, and structure of them is broad. According to this, genetics is defined as the science of inherited traits.
I believe this is translation and it occurs in the mRNA strand due to proteins call the initiation, elongation and release factors.
