The above is an example of a polygenic trait. This implies every prevailing allele "includes" to the declaration of the following predominant allele. As a rule, qualities are polygenic when there is a wide variety in the characteristic. For instance, people can be a wide range of sizes. Stature is a polygenic characteristic, controlled by no less than three qualities with six alleles.
Answer:
1) The genetic changes can lead to a reduction in the capacity of the mice to move glycogen at its branches points and lowers blood glucose levels between meals.
2) Genetic changed can lead to a decrease in the capacity to lower blood glucose due to the knock out of the hexokinase gene leading to elevated levels in the bloodstream.
(c) A knockout of FBPase2 will result in elevated levels of fructose-2,6-bisphosphate in
liver favoring the glycolytic pathway and inhibiting gluconeogenesis by the decrease of fructose 1,6-
bisphosphatase-1 activity
(d) An active FBPase-2 will now favor gluconeogenesis and this inhibits glycolysis. I.e. a decrease in PFK-1 activity while increasing FBPase-1 activity simultaneously.
<h2>Sea star </h2>
Explanation:
In the given example sea star played the role of keystone species
- Robert Paine actually coined the term keystone species to describe the effect that the sea stars had on biodiversity in this community
- Keystone species are those species which are least abundant but play a governing role to decide the structure and function of community
- Loss of keystone species in a community can lead to disturbance in structure and function of a community and it cannot be recovered by other species
