How is a trait passed down from parents to offspring USE OWN WORDS

Biology
1 answer:
artcher [175]3 years ago
8 0
A trait is a characteristic, such as color or size, that is inherited by an offspring from its parents. The genes that control a trait come in pairs, one gene from each parent. We represent these gene pairs by writing a combination of two letters. For example, if one parent contributes a gene for blue eyes (c), and other parent contributes a gene for brown eyes(C), then we write the offspring’s eye color trait as Cc. This combination, of the two genes that determine the trait, is called a genotype. If gene pair contains a dominant allele, the the offspring will show this dominant trait

sveticcg [70]
Oxygen is a vital element within cellular respiration. An intrinsic part of the cellular respiration cycle is the transfer or electrons through the electron transport chain, and at the end of it exists the mitochondria, in which electrons are donated to the Oxygen and combine with hydrogen ions to form water.

How could genetic drift explain differences in the genotype frequencies among the caucasian and aborigine populations?
Novay_Z [31]

Genetic drift occurs when there is no random mating across a population. This causes a change in allelic frequency due to a random sampling of the population.

As the aboriginal population explored the earth,  a small part of the population became geographically isolated either due to continental drift and climate changes. As the isolated population grew bigger, they established their own gene pool. This resulted a change in genotypic frequencies from that of the aboriginal population.
