A phenomenon, in the scientific context, is an observable event that can range from a seasonal hazard to a technological issue. For a scientist, a phenomenon is an observable event.
Whole genes and parts of genes can be extracted from chromosomes, linked to other DNA molecules to form recombinant DNA and introduced into living cells. In a process known as gene cloning, the host cell's biochemical processes are used to make many copies of the inserted gene and the protein it codes for.
Answer:
E (Red shows incomplete dominance over white)
Explanation:
This portrays a monohybrid cross involving a single gene coding for flower colour in snapdragon plants. According to the question, a purebreeding red flowered (homozygous) plant is crossed with a purebreeding white flowered (homozygous) plant to produce an all pink flowered offspring. This phenomenon is called INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE.
Mendel, in his experiments, discovered that an allele can mask the expression of another in a heterozygous state. He called the allele that masks DOMINANT allele while the allele that is masked RECESSIVE allele. However, exceptions like INCOMPLETE DOMINANCE, has occurred in the sense that an allele does not completely mask the expression of its allelic pair, instead an intermediate phenotype, which is a combination/blending of both parental phenotypes is produced.
In this case, the red flowered snapdragon (RR) does not completely cover up the expression of white flower (rr), hence a hybrid/heterozygous offspring is produced that combines the phenotypic characteristics of both parents to form an intermediate flower colour (pink). Hence, it can be said that Red flower is incompletely dominant over white flower or no allele/trait is dominant or recessive to another.
Answer:
d. all of the above
Explanation:
The bats are the only mammals that have managed to perfect flight. They have managed to develop wings, but have started to have a nocturnal life, so in order to be more effective, they have developed their senses like the smell and hearing better, and also developed something new, echolocation. Because the eyesight was not really needed, the bats became almost blind, having very bad eyesight. The echolocation replaced their eyesight though, and it has proven as a very effective adaptation. It is an adaptation that manages to locate objects, food source, be it insects or flowering plants, as well as caves for shelter from predators and cold weather.
