Answer:

It should be D, Polygenic Inheritance.

Explanation:

If you look up the definition of Polygene, it says "A polygene or multiple gene inheritance is a member of a group of non-epistatic genes that interact additively to influence a phenotypic trait." Examples of Polygenic Inheritance are described as skin color, eye color, hair color, body shape, height, and weight. Also, since poly means multiple, it wasn't too hard to assume that "polygene" means multiple genes working together. Hope this helps!

Bottlenecks and founder effects

Genetic drift can cause big losses of genetic variation for small populations.

Population bottlenecks occur when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. Because genetic drift acts more quickly to reduce genetic variation in small populations, undergoing a bottleneck can reduce a population's genetic variation by a lot, even if the bottleneck doesn't last for very many generations. This is illustrated by the bags of marbles shown below, where, in generation 2, an unusually small draw creates a bottleneck.

Loss of genetic variation as a result of a population bottleneck

Reduced genetic variation means that the population may not be able to adapt to new selection pressures, such as climatic change or a shift in available resources, because the genetic variation that selection would act on may have already drifted out of the population.

Elephant seal

 

An example of a bottleneck

Northern elephant seals have reduced genetic variation probably because of a population bottleneck humans inflicted on them in the 1890s. Hunting reduced their population size to as few as 20 individuals at the end of the 19th century. Their population has since rebounded to over 30,000 — but their genes still carry the marks of this bottleneck: they have much less genetic variation than a population of southern elephant seals that was not so intensely hunted.

Founder effects

A founder effect occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population. This small population size means that the colony may have:

reduced genetic variation from the original population.

a non-random sample of the genes in the original population.

For example, the Afrikaner population of Dutch settlers in South Africa is descended mainly from a few colonists. Today, the Afrikaner population has an unusually high frequency of the gene that causes Huntington's disease, because those original Dutch colonists just happened to carry that gene with unusually high frequency. This effect is easy to recognize in genetic diseases, but of course, the frequencies of all sorts of genes are affected by founder events.

How would over expression of protein phosphatase 1 affect the induction of cAMP-inducible genes in response to hormone stimulati
finlep [7]

Answer:

The protein phosphatase-1 dephosphorylates the residues of serine, which are phosphorylated by the protein kinase A. The cyclic-AMP inducible genes are stimulated by CREB that is phosphorylated by protein kinase A. Thus, overexpression of protein phosphatase 1 would prevent their induction.  

Although, protein phosphatase 1 would not influence the function of cAMP-gated ligand channels, as these channels are opened directly by binding of cAMP rather than by protein phosphorylation.

Write a constructed response on the immune system
gladu [14]

Answer:

An immune response is a reaction which occurs within an organism for the purpose of defending against foreign invaders. The first contact that an organism has with a particular antigen will result in the production of effector T and B cells which are activated cells that defend against the pathogen.
