The principle of faunal succession<span>, also known as the law of </span>faunal succession<span>, is based on the observation that sedimentary rock strata contain fossilized flora and fauna, and that these fossils succeed each other vertically in a specific, reliable order that </span>can<span> be identified over wide horizontal distances.</span>
Means they are related through a common distant ancestor. This shows that these structures (morphology) are homologous. They all have 7 neck (cervical) vertebrae, but giraffes cervical vertebrae are elongated compared to that of humans due to their adaptation as browsers .
Answer:
Species A: 2
Species B: 56
Species C: 162
Explanation:
Codons are sequence of 3 purine or pyrimidine bases that codes for amino acids. Each codon in mRNA eventually binds with anticodon in tRNA during protein synthesis and gets translated into their respective amino acids. Hence, the number of amino acids in each of the species represents the minimum number of codons in each species.
<em>Therefore, species A with 2 amino acids will have a minimum codon length of 2, species B with 56 amino acids will have minimum of 56 codons while species C with 162 amino acids will have minimum codon length of 162.</em>
Alleles are letters that represent dominant and recessive traits.
A capital letter represents a dominant trait
A lowercase letter represents a recessive trait.
Dominant traits over shadow the recessive ones. This is known as complete dominance.
Referring to your questions let's us the alleles HH, Hh, and hh for the height of the pea plants.
But what do those letters mean?
HH = homozygous dominant (Tall)
Homo means same.
hh = homozygous recessive (Short)
Now this is different: here's Hh.
There's a capital AND lowercase letter.
This means that the plant carries the gene for tall and short plants, and can pass on either trait to the offspring.
BUT the dominant always over shadows the recessive. So Hh is a tall plant.
Hh = heterozygous (hybrid) (Tall)
You can interpret hetero meaning different.
Now I hope you're with me!
For question two it asks if a short plant can ever be a hybrid.
Referring to what I just said, that answer would be no.
Because there is no dominant trait to over shadow the recessive.
And short plants have the hh alleles, and they are homozygous NOT heterozygous (hybrid).
I hope this helps, and makes sense! If you have any questions please let me know. Genetics can be confusing.
