Answer:
Pleiotropy
Explanation:
Pleiotropy is a genetic condition in which a single gene conditions the expression of multiple phenotype. There are different types of pleiotropy depending on the underlining mechanism
- <em>gene pleiotropy</em>
- <em>developmental pleiotropy</em>
- <em>selectional pleiotropy</em>
- <em>antagonistic pleiotropy </em>
<em>Phenylketonuria is a disease characterized by increased level of amino acid phenylalanine in the blood. It caused by mutation to the gene responsible for breaking down phenylalanine in the blood. Elevated level of phenylalanine causes other issues such as mental problems, urine coloration and reduction in skin pigmentation. This is a clear case of pleiotropy.</em>
4: a species is a group of interbreeding natural populations that are reproductively isolated from other such groups. Process of Speciation. The process of speciation is a 2 stage process in which reproductive isolating mechanisms arise between groups of populations.
Place mercury in the reactor. After a large amount of work, only a tiny portion of gold is created.
Decontaminate the resulting gold. This is harder than it sounds because you can't separate out non-radioactive gold from radioactive gold using purely chemical methods.
It should be obvious from this process that it currently costs much more money to create non-radioactive gold than you could ever earn by selling the gold. Creating gold from other elements is currently an expensive laboratory experiment and not a viable commercial activity. Perhaps technology will improve enough in the future to make creation of gold in nuclear reactors a profitable economic enterprise.
