Incomplete dominance can happen in flowers such as snap dragons where a red flower plant and a white flower plant have an offspring that is neither red nor white but is a mix so in this case it would be pink. It does not support the blending theory as it does not get its colour from the dominant plant in this case but from both.
Recessive traits are visible in the organisms phenotype as long as TWO recessive traits are present.
The requirement of energy makes an organism’s cell make up different from the cell makeup of an inanimate object.
All living things require energy from food in order to function properly. The energy from food is used through the metabolic processes.
The attached picture shows how bacteria gain antibiotic resistance. Firstly, a few individuals attain a
beneficial mutation in their genetic material that accords them the capability to survive in an antibiotic. The
individuals are hence able to survive and
reproduce more than those individuals without the mutation. There is, therefore, a genetic
shift in the population in favor of the resistant genotype. After generations, the
whole population becomes antibiotic resistant.
Mutation. this happens when a cell copies its DNA to divide. its more common than you may think, a "typo" occurs every 100, 000 or so nucleotides, thats about 120, 000 "typos" every time a cell divides.
