What would be the main problem if every trait followed a blending pattern?

Biology
1 answer:
Alona [7]2 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Blending inheritance leads to the averaging out of every characteristic, which as the engineer Fleming Jenkin pointed out, would make natural selection impossible if blending were the mechanism of inheritance.

How can two organisms with a dominant trait for a specific feature produce an organism with a recessive trait for the same featu
Liono4ka [1.6K]

Answer:

If the two organisms are heterozygous for the dominant trait.

Explanation:

For every trait, a diploid organism receives two forms of gene called ALLELE, from each parent. Allele is the variant form of a gene.

According to Mendel's law of dominance, for a particular trait, an allele is capable of masking the expression of another allele in a gene. The expressed allele is called the DOMINANT allele while the masked allele is called the RECESSIVE allele. Due to this, an organism can express a dominant trait even in a combined or heterozygous state i.e. different alleles.

When the two heterozygous organisms mate or are crossed, they undergo meiosis and their alleles are separated into GAMETES according to Mendel's law of segregation. For example; an organism with genotype (genetic make-up) Aa will produce gametes with A and a alleles.

Note that, a recessive trait can only be expressed in a homozygous state i.e. same allele. Hence, the two heterozygous organisms will produce gametes containing the recessive allele, which will likely combine to produce a recessive phenotype or trait.

Which is an example of a polygenic trait?
max2010maxim [7]

Answer:

Polygenic traits are traits that are controlled by multiple genes instead of just one. The genes that control them may be located near each other or even on separate chromosomes. Some examples of polygenic traits are height, skin color, eye color, and hair color.

Some people have one sickle cell gene and one normal gene. They have few defective cells and no symptoms because the sickle cell
VladimirAG [237]

Answer:

Explanation:During fertilization the embryo receives half of its genetic information from both parents. If one parent is a carrier or sickle cell their genes would be Aa little a being the recessive gene. When mixed with the other parents gene who does not have sickle cell their genes would be AA. When you make a pun net square the results would be AA,AA,Aa,and Aa. Therefore the offspring would have a 50% chance of being a carrier of sickle cell but not having the actual disease
