Albinism is a recessive trait characterized by an absence of pigment melanin responsible for skin and hair color. Actually, albinism is caused by a defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin. The central dogma of molecular biology explains that the sequence of DNA specifies the sequence of mRNA, which, further, specifies codes for the sequence of proteins. Since a gene is a segment of DNA, altered gene will cause altered mRNA which will cause altered protein. Thus, <span>defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin will cause the absence of melanin and consequently, albinism.</span>
Answer:
The difference is that the ones with dots have more cells in them and the other one must've been left there for awhile
Explanation:
Because i looked up what those dots meant
Answer:
Answer:
<h2>
Primary consumers are those animals that depend on or they eat primary producers.
</h2><h2>
Secondary consumers are those that eat mainly primary consumers.
</h2>
Explanation:
Primary Consumer: A primary consumer is an organism that directly eat primary producer ( plants). They are usually herbivores that eats autotrophic plants, autotrophic plants produce food through photosynthesis. Primary consumer are heterotrophic.
Example: Goat, cow and rabbit.
Secondary consumers: Secondary consumers depends mainly on primary consumers for their food requirement. Secondary consumers are carnivores as well as omnivores.
Example; Owls, bears, lions and humans etc.
Answer:
The options
a. New combinations of genes yielding genotypes of greater fitness
b. Few heterozygotes because of underdominance
c. Frequency-dependent selection, leading to fluctuations in fitness
d. Heterozygotes with greater fitness, owing to overdominance
e. A random assortment of genotypes because of genetic drift
The CORRECT ANSWER IS b.
b. Few heterozygotes because of under dominance
Explanation:
In genetics, underdominance (at times called "negative overdominance") is the opposite of overdominance.
It is the selection against the heterozygote, that leads to disruptive selection and divergent genotypes. It occurs in cases of inferior and reduced fitness (As in our case study, it is the different chromosomal fusions and inversions)
of the heterozygotic genotype to the dominant or recessive homozygotic genotype. It is unstable as it causes fixation of either allele.
Another example is the African butterfly species Pseudacraea eurytus, which makes use of Batesian mimicry to avoid predation. This species carries two alleles that gives a coloration that is alike to a different local butterfly species that is harmful to its predator. The butterflies who are heterozygous for this trait are observed to be intermediate in coloration and thus encounter an higher risk of predation and a decrease in the total fitness.
