Which mode of inheritance produces heterozygotes with phenotypes that differ from either homozygote but typically more closely resembles one homozygous phenotype than the other?"
A) complete dominance
B) incomplete dominance
C) codominance
D) epistasis
E) incomplete penetrance
Answer:
B) incomplete dominance
Explanation:
Incomplete dominance occurs when the dominant allele of a gene is not able to mask the expression of the recessive allele completely. This results in the expression of a phenotype in the heterozygous genotypes that differ from both homozygous genotypes. However, the phenotype of the heterozygote is closer to one of the homozygous genotypes.
For example, the petal color in four o'clock plant is controlled by a gene with two alleles R and r. Here, the "R" allele can not produce enough pigment in heterozygous conditions to completely mask the expression of the "r" allele and the phenotype of the "Rr" plant is "pink". On the other hand, the phenotype of "RR" plant is red while that of the "rr" plant is "white".
Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor
Answer:Limiting factor is a factor which can limit the abundance, distribution of the species in an ecosystem this can be a resource, predator or natural disaster. The black swallowtail butterfly feeds on endangered plant named Candy's dropwort. If the plants continue to decrease the population of black swallowtail butterly will also decrease as decrease in the plant population will act as a limiting factor for the growth of butterfly population.

The graph which best represents this phenomenon is graph C.
The result of disruptive selection is the selection of the most extreme phenotypes/genoypes, and the decrease of the middle terms.
