Answer:

Each parent contributes, on average, half of the genetic material of each child. If a parent has n children, what percentage of the parent’s genes exist in total across all n offspring?

How can one generalize the solution to #1, to make it applicable to more distant relationships like uncles & aunts, grandparents, and cousins, where the fraction of shared genes is smaller?

Which of the following statements is correct?

Keith_Richards [23]

Answer:

The statement that is correct is that all cells have the same genes, but different genes are active in different cells.

Explanation:

Differentiation or specialization is a function that cells possess and is what allows them to have different types of cells and tissues.

Cell differentiation depends on genetic regulation, a mechanism that determines the specific genes that are expressed in a cell or tissue type.

All cells contain the same DNA, which is organized into chromosomes and contain the genes that determine specific characteristics. There is cell differentiation because some genes can be expressed and others are suppressed, all due to genetic regulation.

The other choices are wrong because:

The eyes look different from the liver, because they have the same genes, but only some are expressed.
Differentiated cells and tissues do not lose their genes.
All cells have DNA.

Why does it benefit an imperial shrimp to travel on a sea cucumber?

olasank [31]

Answer:

the imperial shrimp and the sea cucumber have what's referred to as a one sided symbiotic relationship. that's a type of relationship where there's two organisms, but only one of those organisms benefit. the other organism isn't helped, but it isn't hurt, either.

an imperial shrimp benefits from its relationship with the sea cucumber because the shrimp, when hungry, can get a lift on his lil friend the sea cucumber and is dragged around the ocean to where there's food for shrimp to eat :)

Silent or missense mutations are small-scale mutations that occur when

Andrei [34K]

Answer:

c. a single nucleotide is substituted with no effect

on the amino acid sequence.

Explanation:

silent mutations occur when the change of the dna

sequence within protein - coding portion of a gene

does not affect the sequence of amino acids that

make up the protein. this change typically takes

place at the third position of the codon also known

as the wobble position.

What cellular process releases energy by converting oxygen and glucose to

Goryan [66]

Answer:

The answer would be B (Aerobic Respiration) because first of all it's a type of respiration, because cellular respiration takes oxygen and glucose and makes it carbon dioxide and water, but

Anaerobic respiration doesn't use oxygen and Aerobic does, so therefore; it is Aerobic Respiration.
