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.

If Meselson and Stahl had used CsCl gradient analysis and identified DNA molecules with two distinct densities after the first g
AnnyKZ [126]

Answer:

conservative replication model

Explanation:

In their experiment, Meselson and Stahl found that the DNA duplexes present after the first round of replication had intermediate density. This occurred since the semiconservative process of DNA replication of one DNA molecule (having both strands with 15N) forms two DNA duplexes each with one parental strand (15N) and one newly formed strand (14N).

If they had found two duplexes of two different density, this would have supported the conservative replication model. In this case, the DNA replication of the parent DNA molecule would have formed two DNA duplexes. One DNA molecule would have both the parental DNA strands with 15N while the other DNA duplex would have both newly formed strands with 14N.
