The dominant phenotypes are not always more frequent than the recessive phenotypes

Let us examine a typical (thus rare) character of a single gene:

dominant allele + dominant allele = dominant phenotype

dominant allele + recessive allele = dominant phenotype

recessive allele + recessive allele = phenotype Recessive

Looking at this, you might conclude that the dominant phenotype is more common. But recessive alleles could be present in a high frequency in a certain population.

For example: in the color of the eyes, people with clear eyes tend to carry recessive alleles of key genes. Dark-eyed people tend to have dominant alleles.

In Scandinavia, most people have clear eyes, implying that recessive alleles of these genes are much more common in this region than dominant alleles.

Opinion: is our current water use sustainable? Why or why not?
uysha [10]

Answer:

This actually depends, since most of our water is filtered (depending on where you live) then yes it is sustainable! But if our water wasn't filtered then no, it would not be sustainable. This is because of all the things that go into our water before it's filtered. We've got plastic, trash, dead fish and all that, in some cases sewer system drainage and a lot more that goes into the filtered water that we drink.

How will you differentiate thyroid and parathyroid glands in terms of location and function?
Natalija [7]
The thyroid is a butterfly-shaped gland that lies in front of the windpipe (trachea), just below the voice box. The parathyroid glands are four tiny glands located behind the thyroid gland. The parathyroid glands produce a substance (parathyroid hormone) that helps control the amount of calcium in the blood.
