Genes are DNA or RNA, they act as instructions to make molecules called proteins! They are found in chromosomes and there main objective is to carry out information that determines your characteristic traits that are inherited from your parents!

Hope that helps :))

Height in humans generally shows a normal (bell-shaped) distribution. what type of inheritance most likely determines height? se

Arturiano [62]

I believe it is a combination of polygenic inheritance and environmental factors. Several genes control the height in humans, giving an overall normal distribution. Environmental factors on the other hand such as nutrition smooth out the curve. It is therefore important to note that Human height is a quantitative, or metric trait, that is, a characteristic that is measured in quantity, and is controlled by multiple genes and environmental factors.

When viral DNA combines with the host cell's DNA, the viral DNA becomes a

RUDIKE [14]

Answer:

Prophage

Explanation:

Prophage is a viral genome (e.g. bacterihage genome) which is inserted into host genome (e.g. bacterial genome). Such integrated genome-prophage is in its latent phase, because there is no lysis or disruption of host cell. After the latent period, prophage induction occurs in which viral replication begins.

Write any four salient features of plants.

xeze [42]

<h3>1) Write any four salient features of plants.</h3>

= The four salient features of plants are :

i) Most of the plants appears green due to the present of chlorophyll...

ii) Most of the plants are made up of eukaryotic cells...

iii) Their cells contain cell wall which is made up of cellulose....

iv) Most of the plants are multicellular.....

<h3 /><h3>Flowering plants </h3>

i) All flowering plants are green...

ii) Flowering plants produce flowers and seeds ...

iii) All flowering plants are multicellular..

iv) Flowering plants are more developed.

Examples: Cyas, pine ,pea, rose etc

<h3>Non-flowering plants </h3>

i) Non-flowering plants may be green or non green...

ii) Non-flowering plants do not produce flowers and seeds...

iii) Non-flowering plants may be unicellular or multicellular...

A while mates with a blavk hen. The offspring is gray color. What is this phenomenon called

Lynna [10]

Answer:

Incomplete Dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a phenomenon in which the alleles of two genes are not completely dominant over each other and so when they are present at the same time in an organism (heterozygous for that gene) the organism will have an intermediate phenotype that is a combination of both phenotypes.

For example: The flower color in Snapdragon can have three different genotypes as well as phenotypes. The flowers can be red, pink or white depending on their genotype. The allele for red flower (R) is incompletely dominant over allele of white flower (r). A plant with genotype RR will be red flowered and that with rr will be white flowered. However, if a plant has genotype Rr (intermediate), then the flowers will be white in which no allele was dominant over the other and both showed their effect giving a combination of two colors as Pink flowers.

Same is the case with the mating between white and black hen, where offspring was grey in color. This grey was a combination phenotype of two phenotypes.

Hope it helps!
