fferent color, deafness occurs only on the blue-eyed side. White fur, blue eyes, and deafness are linked to a single pleiotropic gene in cats. Based on the information above, it can be concluded that pleiotropy occurs when A. one trait is influenced by many genes. B. a trait is influenced by both genes and environment.

Answer:

C. one gene influences multiple traits.

Explanation:

Pleiotropy can be defined as a phenomenon in genetics whereby one particular gene in the affects or influences multiple phenotypic traits expressed in the human body.

Pleiotropy can result in the occurrence of disorders in a human body. An example of Pleiotropy is Phenylketonuria.

Phenylketonuria is a human or animal disorder occurs due to the build of the amino acid phenylalanine in the body. This could result serious neurological to the brain such as seizures, damages to the intellectual capacity of the brain e.t.c.

Another symptom of Phenylketonuria is the presence of fair skin and blue eyes because the body was unable to convert or transform phenylalanine to melanin (which gives pigmentation to the body)

Research and produce a summary about the history of the microscope.
svetlana [45]
Microscopes have been used for centuries in order to see specimen scientists cannot see with their unaided eye. Antón VanLeeonhoeuk is given credit for designing the first lenses for microscopes in the 16th century. He looked at “animacules” which we would now call bacteria and protists. Robert Hooke first coined the term cell, as he looked at cork and thought it looked like cells that monks slept in. Improvements were made in the following centuries, and Ernest Leintz in the 1800s creates a way to have differing magnification lenses on one microscope. Continuing into the 1900s and 2000s there are now electron scanning microscopes, ultraviolet microscopes, atomic force microscopes, and electron tunneling microscopes—all which allow scientists to have better resolution and to see smaller and smaller things. Microscope technology will continue to improve as scientists discover more ways to magnify the microscopic world.

These weeds are growing in a farmer's field. The weeds compete with the soybean plants the farmer grows, so he needs to get rid
Makovka662 [10]

Answer:

1) A mutation appeared in one weed plant that made that weed not   susceptible to the herbicide ( B )

2) The weed will survive long enough to reproduce ( B )

Explanation:

1) The most likely reason the weed remained is :  A mutation appeared in one weed plant that made that weed not susceptible to the herbicide

The weed plant must have undergone some mutation in order to be resistant to the herbicide which would kill the weed before now

2) The most likely thing that will happen if the weed stays in place in that farm is : The weed will survive long enough to reproduce

The trait or mutation of the weed cannot just spread to other weeds nearby it can only spread by reproducing more weeds of same mutation
