Answer: The correct answer for the blank is-

Recessive trait.

Recessive trait ( depicted by small letter allele such as t for dwarf plant) is the one that is masked by the presence of dominant allele ( such as T for tall plant height).

For example- Tt represents tall plant as T allele masks the expression of t allele.

Recessive trait is therefore only expressed in the organism when the genotype is homozygous recessive that is both the gene variants ( called alleles) are same and recessive ( such as tt for dwarf plant)

A masked trait is known as a recessive trait, due to the trait never being able to be expressed because of a dominant version of the same trait is being portrayed. So the recessive trait is being masked by the dominant.

Why is an angioplasty an incorrect treatment for an aneurysm

grandymaker [24]

Answer:

An aneurysm is an excessive localized enlargement of the artery caused by the weakening of the arterial walls. Angioplasty is an incorrect treatment for aneurysm because this would worsen the condition and can lead to death if the aneurysm bursts due to the pressure applied by the widening of the arteries.

Considering the knowledge gained in genetic engineering, would you try to patronice GO

Alecsey [184]

yes, because in genetic engineering is one method used in modern agriculture to created bioengineered crops.The varied methods of plant breeding are modern agriculture's tools to address the increasing pressures of disease, pests and environmental disasters on crop production and food security.

placentals and marsupials are two groups of mammals. placentals are more closely related to each other than they are to any othe

NeX [460]

Due to convergent evolution placental mammals (Wolf) are closely related to marsupial wolves (Tasmanian wolf). No, the tree is wrong.

What is convergent evolution?

It is the presence of similar features in animals of different lineages. The structures in these animals have similar functions but are absent in the common ancestors hence they are analogous structures not homologous.

Such convergence of functional, morphological, and structural traits from phylogenetically unrelated species may be a result of random mutation due to selection pressure.

Here, the Tasmanian wolf (marsupial wolf) and wolf (placental mammal) have several morphological similarities but they have unrelated ancestral lineages. Hence they show convergent evolution. These two subclasses of mammals have adapted to a specific food source, locomotor ability, or environment in similar ways.

Hence, the placental wolf and Tasmanian wolf exist sharing the same habitat in different continents former in Asia and the latter in Australia because these two show convergent evolution.
