What is the difference between a dominant trait and a recessive trait?
Bas_tet [7]
Dominant- determines the dominant character, more frequently found in the population, produces the complete polypeptide, does not require the presence of a similar gene, more likely to be inherited, more prone to produce diseases

recessive- responsible for the recessive character, expresses the recessive trait, produces an incomplete polypeptide, requires the presence of a similar gene, less likely to be inherited, less prone to produce disease

Sometimes characteristics are not heritable but are environmentally influenced. describe three characteristics that are not inhe
abruzzese [7]
<h2>Answer:</h2>

Approximately all characteristics are inheritable but some characteristic of our body is affected by the external environment.

<h3>Growth:</h3>

Growth is the basic property of a living organism. It can be controlled by the genes like height. But mainly it is dependent on the available nutrients to the body. So a healthy environment with all necessary nutrients leads to healthy perfect growth of the body.

<h3>RB C count:</h3>

Red blood cells counts also effected by environment. The environment which has a sufficient amount of oxygen leads to low blood count as compared to an environment with low oxygen which leads to high red blood cell count.

<h3>Immunity:</h3>

Immunity is the property of living organism to fight against the harmful agents that invade the body.

People most exposed to germs are more immune than people who often face the germs.

Describe the events that occur during meiosis that are defined by Mendel's laws of segregation and independent assortment. Expla
zysi [14]

Answer:

Mendel's Laws are a set of basic rules on the inheritance of characteristics from parent organisms to their children. They are considered rules rather than laws, since they are not fulfilled in all cases. Mendel's first Law of equitable segregation establishes that during the formation of the gametes each allele of a pair is separated from the other member to determine the genetic constitution of the filial gamete, the two alleles, which code for each characteristic, are segregated during the production of gametes through meiotic cell division. This means that each gamete will contain only one allele for each gene. This allows the maternal and paternal alleles to combine in the offspring, ensuring genetic variation. For each characteristic, an organism inherits two alleles, one for each relative. This means that in somatic cells, one allele comes from the mother and one from the father.

Explanation:

Mendel's laws reflect chromosomal behavior during meiosis: the first law responds to the random migration of homologous chromosomes to opposite poles during anaphase I of meiosis (both alleles and homologous chromosomes segregate equally or 1: 1 in gametes) and the second law, to the random alignment of each pair of homologous chromosomes during metaphase I of meiosis (whereby different genes and different pairs of homologous chromosomes segregate independently).Even though not all genes are inherited in the proportions described by Mendel, they are undoubtedly all inherited in the same way, that is, the alleles or different alternatives of a gene are separated in meiosis and each gamete will carry only 1 of them (2nd Mendel's Law) and in turn all genes on different pairs of chromosomes are transmitted independently. This allows the maternal and paternal alleles to combine in the offspring, ensuring genetic variation.Therefore, of each possible genotype for a two three or more genotypes it is possible to know how many gametes it will form, in what proportions and therefore predict results of crosses.

List biological indicators that you could use to find out if an area is polluted.
Sonbull [250]

Explanation:

Lichen is the best species to determine the pollution of air. They are highly sensitive to pollution and will barely be found growing on trees or rock in regions where the air has been polluted.

Worms are also a good indicators of pollution in the soil. Polluted soils will have very few to no worms.

Small invertebrates like the Caddisfly are used to determine pollution of water. They are very sensitive to water pollution and cannot be found in polluted waters. In addition toads and frogs are rare in polluted waters and air.

What causes people to get sick from E. coli, and what would the symptoms be? Also, how can people avoid eating contaminated food
Lunna [17]

ANSWER FOR QUESTION 1:

The most common type of E. coli infection that causes illness in people is called E. coli O157, which produces a toxin known as Shiga-toxin. Shiga-toxin producing E. coli is abbreviated as STEC. Symptoms of infection with this germ include watery or bloody diarrhea, fever, abdominal cramps, nausea, and vomiting.

ANSWER FOR QUESTION 2:

Some other germs don’t cause as many illnesses, but when they do, the illnesses are more likely to lead to hospitalization. Those germs include: Anyone can get sick from eating contaminated food. Follow four simple food safety steps —clean, separate, cook, and chill—to lower your chance of food poisoning and to protect yourself and your loved ones.
