Answer:

“Mono” denotes one, “di” denotes two, and “poly” denotes a large number. 

What is the significance of these words in defining the 

three forms of sugars? 

These terms are used because they depict how the 

molecule appears. 

The molecule's base unit is called a "saccharide."

Do you think it's

Hi

Before answering this question, we need to understand first that what a mutation is. <em>A mutation basically is a change in the DNA or genetic sequence of an organism that can significantly affect or not affect the function of a specific gene in organism. </em>

Now coming towards the question, yes ofcourse it is possible that a Norwar rats population carries a different genetic mutation than a population os same rats in Africa or any other region, Why? Because sometimes environmental factors of a certain area can cause the population of a region to undergo mutation (For example harsh UV rays) and the other population donot contains that mutation. This will cause a slight change in the genetic makeup of the population of rats of Norther America. However, if the changes in genetic makeup continues to happen in North American Norway rats, a time will come when they will be genetically very different from same rats in Africa and in this way they will become a separate or different specie, this phenomenon is called speciation.

Hope it helps!

what probability do we have of obtaining a purple flower (Rr), when we combine two blue flowers (rr) in an incomplete Dominance
34kurt

Answer: none

Explanation:

If we have that the color characteristic is regulated by the dominant gene R, by crossing two blue flowers with the recessive gene r, no violet flower will be obtained, since the rule of incomplete dominance describes that phenotypes can be obtained intermediates of homozygous parents, however in the case, we only have 2 parents with the same recessive conditions, which do not contribute to generate the violet, to produce one of the parents should have a gene that expresses the color red
