Mutation can also result to a change in the nucleotide sequence of the DNA molecule in a particular region of a chromosome(Gene mutation) an example of genetic mutation is sickle cell anemia

Alleles can be described as 1. dominant 11. recessive III. codominant IV. partially dominant V. incompletely dominant O A. I, II
joja [24]

Answer:

A. I, II, III, and V only

Explanation:

In genetics, an allele refers to the specific form of a gene, which encodes traits. These alleles are usually in pairs in a diploid organism i.e. an organism with two sets of chromosomes. According to Gregor Mendel,

- An allele can either be DOMINANT when the allele masks the phenotypic expression of its allelic pair while the allele that is masked is said to be RECESSIVE.

- Two alleles can also be CO-DOMINANT when the two alleles are neither dominant or recessive over one another but are simultaneously expressed in that particular gene.

- Alleles can also be INCOMPLETELY DOMINANT when one allele is not completely dominant over the other, hence, forms a third intermediate phenotype when in combination with the second allele i.e. in an heterozygous state.

Based on this, an allele can be dominant (I), recessive (II), codominant (III), and incompletely dominant (V).

The evolutionary theory that suggests that a species can suddenly and rapidly evolve into a new species is ?
Mekhanik [1.2K]

<span>Punctuated Equilibrium/ Equilibria proposes that once species appear in the fossil record, the population  will be in the state of little or absent morphologic change. This is called a state of stasis. The theory further proposes that the population is confined to infrequent and geographical rapid events when significant evolutionary change happens.  The parent species will the split into two distinct species. This process if called cladogenesis.</span>
