The frequency of the dark colored gene increases and the frequency of the light colored gene decreases.
B.
The frequency of the light colored gene increases and the frequency of the dark colored gene decreases.
C.

Answer:

A.

Explanation:

Dark coloured moths will be better camouflaged and so better protected from predators. More of them will survive and reproduce, increasing the frequency of dark coloured genes.

Light coloured gene will provide less camouflage, those moths will be caught by predators more often and live to reproduce less. So the light coloured gene will decrease.

Why is having a large surface area<br> important for a cell?
grandymaker [24]

Answer:

One beneficial result of a cell having a larger surface area is its ability to cover more area increasing the likely hood of nutrients coming in contact with the cell membrane. Which in turn will increase the rate at which nutrients diffuse through the cell membrane.

What are the reactions of the first stage of photosynthesis
wlad13 [49]

The two stages of photosynthesis: Photosynthesis takes place in two stages: light-dependent reactions and the Calvin cycle (light-independent reactions). Light-dependent reactions, which take place in the thylakoid membrane, use light energy to make ATP and NADPH.

Patterns of inheritance are usually more complicated than what is predicted by Mendelian genetics. Explain four possible excepti
Vinvika [58]

Answer:

Please find the explanation of the four possible exceptions to Mendelian genetics below.

Explanation:

Genetics, generally, has to do with how genes are inherited or transferred from parents to offsprings. Gregor Mendel, however, explained this concept in his principles of inheritance called Mendelian genetics. There are, however, exceptions to this mendelian principle called Non-mendelian pattern of inheritance i.e patterns of inheritance that do not follow Mendel's principles. Four of them are explained below:

- Incomplete dominance- This non-mendelian inheritance pattern occurs when one allele of a gene does not completely mask its allelic pair, but instead forms an intermediate phenotype. This is in contrast with Mendelian genetics that proposes complete dominance. For example, a red and white flower produce a pink flower (intermediate).

- Codominance- This is another non-mendelian inheritance where two alleles of a gene are simultaneously expressed. For example, roan cattles is a combination of both red and white hairs.

- Multiple alleles: Some traits in a population are controlled by more than two alleles, as explained in mendelian inheritance. Examples of trait controlled by multiple alleles is height in humans.

- Sex-linked inheritance: Some traits are controlled by genes on sex chromosomes i.e. X and Y chromosomes. This genes exhibit inheritance pattern that are different from Mendel's. Example is haemophilia disease controlled by an affected gene on the X-chromosome.
