Answer:

III3 will be "pp" lower case p

II2 will be Pp

Explanation:

As we know the trait is caused by dominant alleles. III3 is not affected so she will have two recessice alleles so 2 lower case p.

III2 is affected so the person will have one dominant allele P and one recessive. The dominant is from the father and the recessive is from the mother.

Hope that helps

Answer:

1. pp 2. Pp

Explanation:

1. Since it says the genetic disorder is caused by a dominant allele, that means that the ones affected (colored in) would have one "P" allele. Those not affected (not colored in) would display the genotype "pp." That would mean that generation III-3's genotype would be "pp."

2. The genotype of III-2 is "Pp." The dad was not affected (meaning he has 2 recessive alleles, pp) and the mom was affected (meaning she has at least 1 dominant allele, p; her genotype would either be PP or Pp). Because of this, III-2 would have to get one allele from the dad and one allele from the mom, therefore... their genotype would be: Pp.

The central nervous system (CNS), which is made up of the brain and the spinal cord, and the peripheral nervous system (PNS), which is comprised of nerves and ganglia (small concentrations of grey matter).

The brain sends messages to the peripheral nerves in the body via the spinal cord, these have control of muscles and internal organs.

Babies with very low or very high birth weight are less likely to survive. The graph shows the percentage of babies born at

dalvyx [7]

Answer:

Option C is correct.

The information provided clearly shows that the babies with average weights form a stable selection, the average is favoured.

Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

Explanation:

Concluding Part of the question

A graph entitled Percentage of Babies born at Different Weights has weight in pounds on the horizontal axis, and percentage on the vertical axis. A small percentage of babies are born at the low and higher birth weights, and a greater amount are around 7 to 8 pounds.

Which statement is a valid claim that could be made using the data in the graph?

A) Directional selection is occurring because the graph favors an extreme.

B) Disruptive selection is occurring because the two extremes are favored.

C) Stabilizing selection is occurring because the average is favored.

D) Biodiversity variation is occurring because there is an increase in trait variation.

Explanation

Stabilizing selection represents a form of natural selection where the intermediate variants of a trait, that is the non-extreme trait values are the ones that ensure the survival and subsequent formation of stable population of the species with this average traits.

In this question, it is given through the data from the graph that babies with very low or very high weights are less likely to survive.

And it is logical as very low weight babies are most likely to be very weak, fragile and susceptible to being on the wrong side of natural selection and very high weight babies have all sorts of overweight issues plus the fact that they have to literally be squeezed out of the womb through a very narrow canal, really pushing their oversight bodies to its limits very early making them also susceptible to being on the wrong side of natural selection.

The average weight babies on the other hand do not experience any of the issues discussed in the last paragraph, they are usually healthy and thus have a high survival rate. So, it is evident to see that the population of babies stabilizes based on a particular non-extreme trait value (baby weight) through stabilizing selection.

Hope this Helps!!!

The function of beta-galactosidase is to ___________.

Alisiya [41]

break down lactose

β-galactosidase is necessary for organisms as it is a principal provider in the generation of energy and a source of carbons through the breaking of lactose to galactose and glucose.

β-galactosides combine carbohydrates comprising galactose where the glycosidic linkage lies above the galactose particle. Substrates of various β-galactosidases incorporate, lactose, ganglioside GM1, lactosylceramides, and various glycoproteins.
