Example of Non-inherited Trait. Explain how the trait is gained (pea plants)

Biology
1 answer:
Komok [63]3 years ago
8 0

Answer:

Examples of non-inherited-traits:

- At phenotypic level: parental body size that may influence offspring plant development. A plant with an obliquely inclined plant stem in order to absorb more sunlight

- At cellular level: DNA methylation at a specific <em>locus</em> due to environmental conditions  

Explanation:

Non-inherited traits (also known as learned traits) can be defined as cellular/phenotypic characteristics that not passed from parent to offspring. Non-inherited traits are the result of environmental factors. For example, in pea plants, the stem may grow with a different inclination compared to the observed in parental plants in order to absorb more sunlight. At the cellular level, non inherited traits are associated with environmental conditions that influence cellular characteristics (e.g., cold exposition may be capable of influencing the level of DNA methylation at individual Cytosine nucleotides). In humans, learned traits refer to traits that are culturally acquired (e.g.., learned from teachers, ​friends, parents, etc).

The transfer of genes from one organism to another is called genetic engineering. This is new technology used to change the gene
nikklg [1K]

Answer: C) GMOs, genetically modified foods engineered in a lab to produce desirable traits.

Explanation:

The genetic engineering involves the insertion of genes from other organism to the host organism so as to make up genetically modified organism. Some unwanted and default genes are also removed from the organisms so that their body function properly.

The genetically modified foods are the examples of genetic engineering. This is done to produce desirable traits in the food crops. In plants both plants and animal genes are inserted to improve the yield of crops, and to improve their quality. In animals, the insertion of genes of other animals is likely to improve the milk and meat yield.

What are two kinds of molecules that make a good model of a solid dissolving in a liquid?
Kisachek [45]

Answer:

In the simplest case it involves mixing two materials together. The most common examples of dissolving involve a solid and a liquid, usually water. When a solid dissolves the solid (solute) and the liquid (solvent) form a very close intimate mixture called a solution.

When an enemy cell is present, a(n) __________ secretes perforins, which bore a hole in the enemy cell membrane.
Morgarella [4.7K]

Answer: natural killer cell

Explanation:

Natural killer cells are referred to as the granular lymphocytes which play vital roles in the immunity against viruses. It doesn't need antigenic activation in order to detect and kill pathogens.

When an enemy cell is present, a natural killer cell secretes perforins, which bore a hole in the enemy cell membrane.

In the structural organization of many eukaryotic genes, individual exons may be related to which of the following?
garri49 [273]

Answer: Option A

Explanation:

The tertiary structure of the protein is made of multiple domains. Every domain of the protein has different function allotted to them.

The exon is the functional part of the genetic material. The exon is part of DNA which encodes for the part of the mature RNA which is being produced once all the introns have been removed after splicing.

It is the main part which decides the respective domain of the functional protein.
