Answer:

A. In a heterozygous individual, the allele that determines the phenotype

Explanation:

The dominant allele completely hides the expression of the recessive allele. This occurs in cases of Autosomal dominant inheritance. Even when both dominant and recessive alleles are present in the genotype, this is the heterozygous state, only the dominant trait will be expressed. Only one dominant allele is enough to express the dominant phenotype.

Parland’s alligator population has been declining in recent years, primarily because of hunting. Alligators prey heavily on a sp

IRISSAK [1]

Answer:

Explanation:

The ecosystems are complex systems, and removing one species of them, always has a chain reaction and affects the population of the other species, be it in a positive or negative manner. In this case, the alligators prey upon fish, multiple different species. The alligators though have been removed from the ecosystem, thus the apex predator exists no more. This has opened up the top predator niche in the food chain in this particular ecosystem. The predatory fish species had no predators of its own, so its population increased, thus it needed more food, and that food was obtained by hunting the other fish species, resulting in a decline in the population of the other species of fish. Only when the carrying capacity is reached in the ecosystem for the predatory fish, the population of the other fish will stop declining.

<span>Dr. Stott is researching epigenetics. Epigenetics is the study of changes that occur in gene expression with no changes in the actual gene sequences. Environmental factors can influence gene expression without changing the DNA sequence, making this the study of epigenetics.</span>
