How can mutations in populations be benifical for survival of the species?

Biology
1 answer:
shutvik [7]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Some mutations are harmful and are quickly eliminated from the population by natural selection; harmful mutations prevent organisms from reaching sexual maturity and reproducing. Other mutations are beneficial and can increase in a population if they help organisms reach sexual maturity and reproduce.

A widows Peak is dominant over straight hairline the genotypes of The Offspring are WW, Ww, ww and ww. What are the phenotypes o
anastassius [24]

Phenotypes are the physical characteristics that result from the genotype, which is the genetic makeup of the organism. In this case, either straight hairline or Widow's peak will be the phenotype, as they are the physical characteristics being discussed.

The questions states that a Widow's peak is dominant over straight hairline. So we are going to assume that the Widow's peak allele is W (dominant), and the straight hairline allele is w (recessive).

A dominant allele will mask the presence of a recessive allele unless both of the alleles are both recessive (both ww).

So for the WW genotype, we are going to see the dominant phenotype: Widow's peak.

For the Ww genotype, we are also going to see the dominant phenotype since the dominant allele is going to mask the presence of the recessive allele, so we are going to see: Widow's peak.

Lastly, for the ww genotype, we are going to now see the recessive phenotype, since both alleles are recessive: straight hairline. Note that their are two of these type of offspring as stated in the question.

In the generation of most anions, the energy change (kj/mol) that _______ an electron is ________.
stepan [7]

The answer is D. An anion is a negatively charged ion, which means it has accepted an extra electron (s) from a donor ion (cation). To add an electron, energy has to be released so that the electron can be less excited and go back to its orbital level. The released energy is equivalent to the energy required to remove the electron from its orbital level.

A summer squash plant that produces disc‑shaped fruit is crossed with a summer squash plant that produces long fruit. All of the
ivanzaharov [21]

Explanation:

In the given question,

suppose allele A and a determines the color of the fruit whereas allele B and b determines the shape of the fruit.

The genotype for white, disc shape fruits is- AABB

the genotype for yellow, long fruits is- aabb

F1 progeny will be- AABB x aabb

                                 AaBb

F2 cross-    AaBb    x    AaBb

                      AB          Ab          aB           ab

      AB        <em>AABB       AABb    AaBB       AaBb</em>

      Ab       <em>AABb       AAbb     AaBb       Aabb</em>

      aB      <em>  AaBB      AaBb      aaBB       aaBb</em>

      ab        <em>AaBb       Aabb      aaBb      aabb</em>

          The genotype of F2 cross are-

1.  9/16 A- B- disc-shaped (like F1)

2. 3/16 A- bb spherical

3. 3/16 aa B- spherical

4. 1/16 aa bb long.

For a dominant/recessive trait, do the offspring of identical parents always look like the parents?
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

No, they don't always look like the parents.

Explanation:

They won't always look like the parents because from each parent, they will receive different dominant and recessive traits. In addition, certain traits skip generations or don't get passed down. For example, you can have 2 parents with red hair and have dark brown hair, but have a child who DOES have red hair.
