Answer:

Incomplete dominance

Explanation:

The traits in the organisms are controlled by the genes which are present in the form of two alleles on the chromosomes. Each allele represents the variant of the trait which is determined when these alleles unite during sexual reproduction.

The allele can be dominant when it shows its effect or it can be recessive when it is suppressed during fusion.

In the given question, the studied trait is the pattern of the hair which is present in two variants: the curly hair and the straight hair. When the parents for these traits were crossed they produced offspring which was intermediate between the curly and the white hair. This intermediate trait shows that neither of the two alleles which control the trait is dominant and the trait blended. This natural process is known as incomplete dominance.

Thus, Incomplete dominance is correct.

In scientific investigations, how does empirical evidence help scientists devise hypotheses?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

Explanation:

An empirical evidence illustrates facts that are drawn from experimentation and observations. These are usually drawn from the way we see and percieve our environment using our senses.

A hypothesis is best and simply defined as a scientific guess. It is often a direct product of empirical studies of a particular problem. Most times when scientists gather facts and principles have been formulated, they try to explain their observation. This explanation is the hypothesis. The satement of the hypothesis is usually tentantive. Sometimes, we can have several hypothesis for a common source of empirical evidence.

Reika [66]

The option are not given and the options are:

Proteins are denatured by breaking covalent bonds.

Linear molecules like DNA are inherently stable.  

Individual hydrogen bonds may be weak, but DNA structure is stabilized by many thousands or millions of these bonds - far more than found in proteins.

The statement is incorrect; it actually takes far more energy to denature proteins than it does to denature DNA.

Answer:

The correct answer is- Individual hydrogen bonds may be weak, but DNA structure is stabilized by many thousands or millions of these bonds - far more than found in proteins.

Explanation:

Proteins become denatured when it looses its three-dimensional structure. Disulfide bond and hydrogen helps in stabilizing the three-dimensional structure of proteins and if these bonds break due to any factor protein lost its structure and function.

DNA is made up of a large amount of hydrogen bond because in AT base-pairing two hydrogen bonds are required and in GC base pairing three hydrogen bonds are required. Therefore it can be concluded that as more hydrogen bonds stabilizes DNA than protein its melting temperature is higher than protein.
