Exaptation
Explanation:
In this example, the lateral extensions that developed were meant for thermoregulation.
But these became sufficiently large to support gliding through the air and later on were used for flight.
Thus the structure assumed a function for which it was not meant and its original function shifted to a completely different dimension giving rise to modern insect wings. So we can say that this is an example of Exaptation.
I hope this helps you!! :)
A mother's diet before conception can permanently affect how her child's genes function, according to a study published in Nature Communications. A 2003 study found that a female mouse's diet can change her offspring's coat color by permanently modifying DNA methylation.
Answer:
D) Neither of the parental genes is dominate over the other.
Explanation:
<em>Since the trait on the offspring is a mixture from both parent, it means that neither of the alleles from both parents is completely dominant over the other. Instead, each of the alleles contributes equally to the trait of the offspring.</em>
This effectively explains the fact that each trait exhibited by offspring is a blend of the traits from the two parents.
The correct option is D.
Gamete Cells. Eggs and sperm are reproductive cells and reproductive cells are called gametes.
