Answer:

derived trait

Explanation:

An ancestral (or primitive) trait/character is a feature inherited from the common ancestor of the species/group of interest, while derived traits are those that were absent in the last common ancestor of the group of interest. For example, considering mammals as the target group, the presence of hair is a shared derived trait relative to other vertebrates, i.e., amphibians, reptiles and birds. However, this trait (hair) is ancestral for humans since the genetically closest species to humans (e.g., chimpanzees), also have hair, and they have inherited this trait from a common ancestor.

The diagram shows a simple lipid.
Evgesh-ka [11]

The correct answer is option A, that is, saturated.

The mentioned lipid is not a phospholipid, as it does not comprise a phosphate group at the terminal of the chain, and is not a triglyceride due to the absence of glycerol moiety.

Each carbon combined with the hydrogens forms the maximum number of possible C-H bonds, thus, there are no multiple bonds between the carbons. Hence, it can be concluded that the lipid is saturated.

Which statement about the starch debranching enzyme is correct?
Roman55 [17]

Answer:

B) If two non functional copies are inherited, the pea will be wrinkeld.

Explanation:

The gene for starch debranching is one of the genes that regulate more than one genetic trait. The starch debranching gene also regulates the seed shape in peas. The gene has two alleles. The allele B is completely dominant over allele "b" with respect to seed shape. Both homozygous and heterozygous dominant genotypes (BB and Bb) produce smooth seeds while homozygous recessive genotype (bb) imparts wrinkled shape to the seeds.
