Hi,
Let us get an introduction of the problem first, Incomplete dominance is a pattern of inheritance in which, offspring from the cross of two parents shows a phenotype that is not like either parent but in between both.
For example: Let us take the example of Oompah's hair that can be either red or purple or blue. As described in the question, Red is dominant so let us denote allele for Red hair with R. The other hair color is blue that is recessive, let us denote its allele with r. Now, there is another intermediate phenotype that is purple, let us denote it with Rr because it is derived through a combination of R and r.
Now, here is the key for all possible genotypes and phenotypes of Oompahs. There are only three possible genotypes and phenotypes for the hair color.
Genotype: Phenotype
RR : Red hair
Rr : purple hair
rr : Blue hair
This is because no allele can fully express itself over the other. So is we cross a red hair Oompah with Blue hair Oompah, let us see what will happen:
RR x rr
Gametes: r and R
rr: Rr : Rr : RR
It means that 25 % of the offspring will have red hair, 50% will have contain purple hair and 25 % will have blue hair.
RR: Red hair 25%
Rr: Purple hair 50 %
rr: Blue hair 25%
Hope it helps!
Answer:
A chemical compound is a chemical substance composed of many identical molecules composed of atoms from more than one element held together by chemical bonds. A molecule consisting of atoms of only one element is therefore not a compound.
In neuroscience, the threshold potential is the critical level to which a membrane potential must be depolarized to initiate an action potential. Threshold potentials are necessary to regulate and propagate signaling in both the central nervous system (CNS) and the peripheral nervous system (PNS).
Most often, the threshold potential is a membrane potential value between –50 and –55 mV,[1] but can vary based upon several factors. A neuron's resting membrane potential (–70 mV) can be altered to either increase or decrease likelihood of reaching threshold via sodium and potassium ions. An influx of sodium into the cell through open, voltage-gated sodium channels can depolarize the membrane past threshold and thus excite it while an efflux of potassium or influx of chloride can hyperpolarize the cell and thus inhibit threshold from being reached.
The average adult human body has about 60 billion cells
Plate tectonics suggests that Earth's entire crust is composed of a number of large plates that are in constant motion relative to each other. Some plates are sliding under other plates, some are sliding past each other, others are pulling apart, and still others are colliding.
