Which of the following is a disadvantage of sexual reproduction?
Liula [17]
Answer: <span>A) Slow to repopulate

------

Genetic variation is an advantage of sexual reproduction. It increases survival and the ability to adapt in a species. Species with genetic variation can respond better to environment changes, since the genetic variability allows some to be immune to disease or adapt better to a change, and live to reproduce.

Slow to repopulate is a disadvantage because the species cannot recover quickly after a large disaster. It also means they cannot adapt as quickly to an environmental change.</span>

Compare clonal selection to a phosphorylation cascade that occurs in a signal transduction pathway. How are they similar to one
dybincka [34]
<h2>Clonal Selection to a Phosphorylation Cascade </h2>

Clonal selection describes the roles of compartments of the privileged operation in reply to specific antigens attacking the basis in immunology. A phosphorylation cascade is a series of situations wherever one catalyst phosphorylates is different. It makes a succession reactions driving the phosphorylation of thousands of proteins. This can be observed in omen transduction of hormone communications.

Marfan syndrome is a dominant trait. A cross between a homozygous dominant and a heterozygote would produce what phenotypic rati
umka2103 [35]

Answer:

The correct answer is- 4:0

Explanation:

Marfan syndrome is a genetic problem which affects the connective tissue in the body. The trait for this disease is autosomal dominant which means even one abnormal copy of this gene in the offspring or individual is sufficient to cause this syndrome.

Let S is the allele that is dominant for this syndrome and s is recessive. So if a cross between homozygous dominant(SS) and heterozygous individual (Ss) occurs than all the offspring would have this syndrome.  

                                   S      s

                              S  SS   Ss

                              S  SS   Ss

Therefore all 4 offspring would have at least one dominant allele which is sufficient to cause this syndrome. So the phenotype ratio would be 4:0.
