Answer:

C) They may provide selective advantages.

D) Slight differences in the genetic code may have significant results.

Explanation:

The genetic code is universal, and present in most living beings . Generally, in most living organisms, the same codons are assigned to the same amino acids.

DNA sequences make up genes that may have multiple variants, called alleles. DNA deoxyribonucleic acid, is transcribed into mRNA and then translated into amino acids that form proteins.

Natural selection mainly acts on phenotypes, which are dependent on proteins and the organisms's environment. Phenotypes conferring advantageous traits are favored by the selection process- these help groups of organisms evolve over time.

The answer is B. even if you fill out a Punnett Square there is still a possibility that it won't come out that way. for example there could be two dominant traits in a Punnett square instead of just one completely dominant trait. like BB and BB.

some heterozygous alleles create variations in expression so that there is not a clear dominant or recessive allele true or fals

Simora [160]

Answer: False

The variations in expression depends on how genes code for proteins that would specify whether it will be dominant or recessive allele. Within a population, there may be a number of alleles for a given gene and these differences can cause variations in the protein that is produced. The change in protein expression affect traits due to the variations in protein activity or expression that produce different phenotypes.

Moreover, individuals that have copies of different alleles are known as heterozygous and individuals that have two copies of the same allele are referred to a homozygous. The expression patterns observed in inheritance will depend on whether the allele is found on an autosomal chromosome or a sex chromosome, and on whether the allele is dominant or recessive.
