8. In a population of beetles, there is a gene for color with two codominant alleles. The allele R leads to red beetles and the

allele B leads to blue beetles. Heterozygous beetles are red and blue spotted. A heterozygous beetle mates with a red beetle. What is are the genotypic and phenotypic frequencies of their offspring? Please show all of your work. (2)

Answer:

The genotypic frequency = 1:1

The phenotypic frequency = 1:1

Explanation:

Given that:

The allele → R = Red beetles

The allele → B = Blue beetles

Since the gene color shows a codominant allele

The Red Beetle = RR

The blue beetles will be = BB

The heterozygous beetle will be = RB

∴

The punnet square showing the crossing of RB × RR is:

                R                   B

R                RR               RB

R                RR               RB

The result shows that we have two red beetles and two heterozygous beetles.

Hence;

The genotypic frequency = 1:1

The phenotypic frequency = 1:1

Smooth muscles depolarize as a result of a transmembrane current of Calcium ions.                                                                                                                       When an action potential depolarizes the muscle cell membrane, it also travels into the body of the cell via the t-tubules. Unlike skeletal muscle, smooth muscle is dependent in two sources of calcium in order to intiate contraction. These two sources are calcium sequestered in the S.R. of the smooth muscle cell.

Gene therapy is a way doctors can treat a disease by inserting a healthy gene into a patient's cells, instead of using drugs or
LekaFEV [45]

The answer is; C

Gene therapy is still not considered safe and has not been approved for humans, especially due to errors in inserting of DNA at the target site and also random relapse of the DNA from its inserted site. Gene therapy, however, can be sanctioned when its benefits outweigh its risks such as in terminally ill patients - with the approval of the patient and local relevant policies/authorities. Gene therapy, today, is being tested with innovative tools called CRISPR/Cas9.

DiKsa [7]

Answer:

The best answer to the question: These characteristics make primates particularly well adapted to what type of environment? Would be: the arboreal environment.

Explanation:

According to the video, primates, which subdivide into several groups, including the apes, from which also humans evolve, have, depending on their group, specific anatomical features and traits that allow them to survive in their environment. One such anatomical trait is the presence of larger brains than other mammals, long limbs, long fingers and strong lower limbs that allow them to adapt to tree life and survive in forest regions. Also, they tend to have a much more acute sense of vision due to their larger brain, but a much more limited sense of smell than other mammals. These characteristics become basic for them to live and survive in forest environments.
