Answer:
A. Heritable
C. Affected by the MC1R gene
D. Polygenic trait
Has evolved due to evolutionary processes such as natural selection.
Explanation:
Human skin color is a polygenic trait as it is regulated by more than one gene. Each allele of these genes has an additive effect on the overall skin color of an individual. Therefore, the trait is a continuous trait, not a discrete one. The genes for human skin color are transmitted from parents to progeny which in turn makes it a heritable trait.
The gene MC1R codes for melanocortin 1 receptor and thereby, regulate the skin color of humans since melanocyte-stimulating hormone binds to the receptor to trigger the synthesis of melanin from melanocytes. Evolution of various skin color in human beings is regulated by natural selection which in turn favors the skin tone best suited under the prevailing climatic conditions of a particular human population
Answer: The question is incomplete,below is the complete question.
What are the terms describes the dna–protein complexes that look like beads on a string?
A) Chromatin
B) 30-nanometer fibre
C) Histones
D) Nucleosome
The correct answer is option D
Explanation: A Nucleosome is the basic fundamental unit of a DNA, and the fundamental sub-unit of a Chromatin.
The Nucleosome is the basic packing unit of DNA,it is built from histone proteins. A nucleosome is made up of 8 histones proteins resembling a thread wrapped round a spool.
The smallest bundle of DNA is known as a Nucleosome,a Nucleosome is produced through interaction between DNA and histone proteins.
Answer:
What sends oxygenated blood back to the heart from the lungs?
Oxygen-rich blood flows from the lungs back into the left atrium (LA), or the left upper chamber of the heart, through four pulmonary veins. Oxygen-rich blood then flows through the mitral valve (MV) into the left ventricle (LV), or the left lower chamber.
