Answer:
<em>Exceptions to Mendel's principles:
</em>
Does exceptions mean that Mendel was "wrong"? The answer is "NO". It means that we know more today about diseases, genes, and heredity than compared to what he expalined 150 years ago. Here I have summerized the exceptions with examples:
<em>Incomplete dominance</em>: When an organism is heterozygous for a trait and both genes are expressed but not completely.
<em>Example</em><em>:</em> SnapDragon Flowers
<em>Codominance</em>: When 2 different alleles are present and both alleles are expressed.
<em>Example</em>: Black Feathers + Whites feathers --> Black and white speckled feathers
<em>Multiple alleles</em>: Three or more alternative forms of a gene (alleles) that can occupy the same locus.
Example: Bloodtype
<em>Polygenic traits</em>: more than one gene controls a particular phenotype
Example: human height, Hair color, weight, and eye, hair and skin color.
<span>A food preservation method in which microorganisms metabolize components of a food is called </span>fermentation.
When the food is going on fermentation, there are good bacteria over there that will inhibit other bacteria to grow on that food. Fermentation also able to made the pH more acid, making the area is not suitable for bacterial growth.
A unique feature of the nucleus is that it disassembles and re-forms each time most cells divide. At the beginning of mitosis, the chromosomes condense, the nucleolus disappears, and the nuclear envelope breaks down, resulting in the release of most of the contents of the nucleus into the cytoplasm.
<u>Answer</u>: A heritable trait can be changed from one generation to another.
<u>Explanation</u>:
- The concept of <em>descent with modification</em> was given by Darwin which simply states that the traits are passed on from the parents to the offsprings.
- The traits that can be passed on are known as <em>heritable traits</em>.
- These traits are passed on with the help of the genes.
- So this passing on of traits explains the term <em>descent</em> in this concept. However, there are always chances that these heritable traits can be changed due to environmental factors or due to the process of recombination and thus the term <em>modification</em>.
- So <em>descent with modification</em> means that a<em> heritable trait is passed from parents to offspring but it can be changed from one generation to another.</em>
