In a diploid individual, one chromosome carries A and B genes, and the homologous chromosome carries different forms (alleles) o
Helen [10]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

This involves a dihybrid inheritance I.e. two genes are being passed on. During meiosis, specifically, the Prophase stage, homologous chromosomes (similar but non-identical chromosomes received from each parent) line side by side. According to the question, one chromosome contains A and B alleles and its homologue, received by the other parent carries a and b alleles. This means that the diploid individual has a genotype AaBb for that gene.

According to Mendel's law of independent assortment, the alleles separate independently of one another into gametes. I.e. allele A and a separates into the gametes without affecting alleles B and b of the other gene.

Crossing-over, which is the exchange of chromosomal segment occurs between the two homologues. Hence, the exchange of chromosomal segments containing alleles in the individual will possibly produce four gametes with the genotypes: AB, Ab, aB, ab.

The Neanderthal copy of a gene crucial for language (FOXP2) more closely resembles the same gene in chimpanzees than in humans,
liraira [26]

Answer:

b. False

Explanation:

FOXP2 gene is required for language and speech development and is present in all animals. It is a transcription factor which encodes for a regulatory protein. Both modern humans and Neanderthals share FOXP2 gene which differs from chimpanzee version by two amino acids. Its the different regulation of the same gene which made modern humans more capable of  using language and speech. Neanderthals did use language rudiments but not completely constructed languages. There might be other speech genes involved too which differed between modern day humans and Neanderthals but not FOXP2.

andrew-mc [135]

Answer: (D)

Explanation: biotic factors depend among abiotic factors, meaning that living things need non-living things in order to survive. That also means that biotic factors everywhere including the surrounding area need to be thought of in this sense so that they are able to survive in the environment they are in.
