Explanation:

An essential part of science is asking questions.  

A good scientific question is that it can be  answered by direct observations or with scientific tools.

      How fast do cheetahs run?

      Does adding fertilizer to the soil help plants grow faster?

      What do pelicans eat?

      Why are my neighbors going to the mall?

Examples of questions that are not scientific  are based on values or opinions like what people believe is right or wrong, or beautiful or ugly.

melisa1 [442]

Answer:

A parent with one copy of a dominant allele and one recessive coded Ww for the widow's peak  is called heterozygous for a trait and has a 50 percent chance of passing on the dominant allele to each of his or her offspring, regardless of the gene inherited from the other parent.

Match each definition to the appropriate term. locus
liraira [26]
I) Locus- the chromosomal site where a specific gene is located. A locus is a fixed position on a chromosome, like the position of a gene or a marker. Each chromosome carries ,many genes; human's estimated haploid (n) protein coding genes are about 20,000, on the 23 different chromosomes.


ii) Interference; the observed double crossover frequency differs from the expected double crossover frequency. Cross over interference is used to refer to the non-random placement of crossovers with respect to each other during meiosis. It results in widely spaced crossovers along chromosomes. Interference may exert its effect across whole chromosomes. As chromosomes in many eukaryotes are large, interference must be able to act over megabase lengths of DNA. 

iii) Linkage- the tendency for genes located in close proximity on the same chromosome to be inherited together. Normally when two genes are close together on the same chromosome, they do not assort independently and are said to be linked. Whereas genes located on different chromosomes assort independently and have a recombination frequency of 50%, linked genes have a recombination frequency that is less than 50%.

iv) Recombination- the process by which a new pattern of alleles on a chromosome is generated. Genetic recombination is the production of offspring with combinations f traits that differ from those found in either parent. During meiosis in eukaryotes, genetic recombination involves the pairing of homologous chromosomes. This may be followed by information transfer between the chromosomes.
