When a mutation alters a protein that plays a critical role in the body, it can disrupt normal development or cause a medical condition. A condition caused by mutations in one or more genes is called a genetic disorder. In some cases, gene mutations are so severe that they prevent an embryo from surviving until birth.

a black rooster Mated with a white hen. based on genotypes, the chance that the offspring will be checkered is 100 percent. what
gtnhenbr [62]

Answer:

The genotypes of the rooster and the chicken are homozygous and that of their offspring is heterozygous.

This case is called codominance, where the offspring receives an allele from each parent, from the rooster and the hen, because there is codominance, so neither allele is recessive and the phenotype of both alleles is expressed so the phenotype of the offspring is checkered.

We can say then that the chicken and the rooster have equal strength between their alleles. in the cases of codominance the laws of mendel do not apply.

In a soft-bottomed intertidal community, oxygen would be most plentiful for meiofauna in which type of bottom?
Sonbull [250]

Answer:

The options are:

A. Gravel

B. Sand

C. Silt

D. Clay

E. Mud

The answer is A. Gravel

Explanation:

Meiofauna are small benthic invertebrates which live in aquatic habitat. They are suited for both marine and fresh water environments.

Gravel aren’t tightly packed together in large quantities when compared with the other options such as sand, silt, clay, mud. This makes it possible for more aeration and the presence of more oxygen at the soft-bottomed intertidal community.
