Learned helplessness occurs when people or animals feel helpless to avoid negative situations. Martin Seligman first observed learned helplessness when he was doing experiments on dogs. He noticed that the dogs didn't try to escape the shocks if they had been conditioned to believe that they couldn't escape.</span>

Complete the graphic organizer to summarize exceptions to Mendels principles
Butoxors [25]

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.

What unusual chemical linkage in rna is generated during the capping of rna pol ii transcripts?
levacccp [35]
The correct answer is 5′ to 5′ triphosphate linkage.
<span>mRNA capping is the posttrancriptional modification of messenger RNA when the nucleotide on the 5′ end is specially altered. The process is highly regulated and it creates stable and mature messenger RNA able to undergo translation. The cap on the <span>5’ end of mRNA consists of a guanine nucleotide connected to mRNA via an unusual 5′ to 5′ triphosphate linkage. Guanosine is methylated on the position 7  after capping.</span></span>
