How do mutations in DNA lead to genetic variation within a species?

Coat color in rabbits is under the control of a single gene with

Mashcka [7]

Answer: a) Cch x Ccch

b) Ccch x Cc

c) Cch x cchch

d) cchc x chc

Explanation:

Data:

Coat color in rabbits is under the control of a single gene with

four alleles: C (full gray color); cch (chinchilla, light gray); ch

(Himalayan, white with black extremities); and c (albino, absence

of pigmentation).

The dominance hierarchy is represented as: C >cch > ch > c.

Possible genotypes:

For full gray color: CC (Gray), Ccch (Gray-2), Cch (Gray-1), Cc (Gray-3). The allele "C" dominates over the other three alleles, so in every combination where "C" is present, the animal will be fully grayed.

For light gray color/Chinchilla: cchcch (Chinchilla), cchch (Chinchilla-1), cchc (Chinchilla-2). The allele "cch" dominates over "ch" and "c", but not over "C". So if the allele "C" is combined with "cch", the animal will be fully grayed, but in any other combination with "cch", the animal will be light grayed.

For white with black extremities/Himalayan: chch (Hymalayan), chc (Hymalayan-1). The allele "ch" that determines the Himalayan color is only dominant over the allele "c". But in combination with any other allele, "ch" behaves as a recessive one.

For albino: cc. In the presence of any of the other alleles, the allele "c" always behaves as a recessive one. The only possibility of getting an albino animal is if "c" combines with another "c".

What are the steps and structures involved in the process of cellular respiration

kow [346]

Cellular respiration takes in food and uses it to create ATP, a chemical which the cell uses for energy. Usually, this process uses oxygen, and is called aerobic respiration. It has four stages known as glycolysis, Link reaction, the Krebs cycle, and the electron transport chain. yup

What is "change" when we are talking about natural and physical systems?

MaRussiya [10]

D. A variable or alteration to one part that affects an entire system

Explanation:

When talking about natural and physical systems, change is a variable or alteration to one part that affects an entire system.

Systems are groups of processes that have the same overall function. There are several types of interacting components that makes up both physical and natural systems in our world.

The part of system is related and interconnected via the changes they undergo.
Changes typically causes variation or alteration of parts of a system.

For taking bath, water at 40⁰C is required. Calculate the mass of cold water at 15⁰C which is to be added in 60 Kg water at 100⁰

MrRa [10]

Answer:

Energy added to cold water, E1

E1 = m•Cp•ΔT = 6 x 4.187x(42-20) = 6x4.187x22

Energy lost by hot water, E2:

E2 = X(CpΔT) = X x 4.187 x (75-42) =X x 4.187 x 33

So, since E1 = E2

6x4.187x22 = X x 4.187 x 33

X = 6x22/33 = 4.0kg

So the mass of the hot water added to the 6kg of cold water is 4.0kg
