What term defines a gene made up of two different alleles

Biology

olasank [31]2 years ago

The right answer is Heterozygous

An individual is heterozygous for a gene when he has two different alleles of that gene.


Heterozygosity, being heterozygous, decreases the risk of expression of deleterious recessive alleles and allows for different versions of the same gene, which can be a guarantee of adaptability to changing environmental conditions.

You discover a new species of ape that is more closely related to gorillas than to any other species of ape, but walks upright.
Agata [3.3K]

I do not know how the phylogeny chart you have is, but it probably contains a series of apes, gorillas and Homo sapiens.

We know that gorilas don't walk upright, but Homo sapiens do. What you will probably have to do is situate the new species of ape somewhere in between gorilas and humans, in a way that the new species shares a common evolutive path with both.

Hope it helped,

What is the principle for dating materials using radioactive isotopes
nevsk [136]

It is based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope and its decay products, using known decay rates.

<h3>How are isotopes used in radioactive dating?</h3>

These isotopes decay within the rocks according to their half-life rates, and by choosing the fit minerals and measuring the relative amounts of parent and daughter isotopes in them, the date at which the rock crystallized can be determined.

Thus, It is based on a comparison between the observed abundance of a naturally occurring radioactive isotope.

Spherocytosis is a human blood disorder associated with a defective cytoskeletal protein in the red blood cells (rbcs). what do
Alex17521 [72]
In spherocytosis, there is a defect in the membrane proteins of the red blood cells, specifically ankyrin and spectrin. These membrane proteins contribute to the biconcave shape of red blood cells therefore the loss of these proteins will lead the red blood cells to lose its biconcave shape--leading to abnormally shaped red blood cells (spheres) hence the name. This can lead to premature destruction of red blood cells and jaundice due to hyperbilirubinemia. Spherocytes do not hold oxygen and carbon dioxide well as spherocytes have a decreased surface area.
