What role do genes and chromosomes play in the hereditary process?

Biology
1 answer:
uysha [10]2 years ago
6 0

Each gene occupies a specific position on a chromosome. Because genes provide instructions for making proteins, and proteins determine the structure and function of each cell in the body, it follows that genes are responsible for all the characteristics you inherit. These pair up to make a total of 46 chromosomes.

A biologist studying a desert ecosystem observes that the population of a lizard species increases following a particularly hot,
bekas [8.4K]
Based on the description of events, being that the lizard population appears to increase as soon as the snake population decreases, it appears that the snakes prey on the lizards. This suggests that the snake is a keystone species. A keystone species is one that has a dramatic effect on maintaining the balance of an ecosystem. As soon as the snake population decreases, major changes occur to the ecosystem, such as the lizard population increasing.

Therefore, the answer is D: <span>The snake is a keystone species in the ecosystem.</span>

Describe how the DNA in a cauliflower plant is similar to and different from the DNA in Brussels sprouts.
timofeeve [1]

Answer:

Cabbage is a different story. Per capita consumption of it peaked way back in the 1920s, when the average American ate 22 pounds of it per year. Nowadays, we eat about eight pounds, most of it disguised as cole slaw or sauerkraut.

This makes it pretty interesting that kale and cabbage — along with broccoli, Brussels sprouts, cauliflower, collard greens, and kohlrabi, and several other vegetables — all come from the exact same plant species: Brassica oleracea.

In some circles, kale has become really, really popular. Once a little-known speciality crop, its meteoric rise is now the subject of national news segments. Some experts are predicting that kale salads will soon be on the menus at TGI Friday's and McDonald's.

Two organisms, AABBCCDDEE and aabbccddee, are mated to produce an F1 that is self-fertilized to produce F2. If the capital lette
Galina-37 [17]

Answer:

a) How many genotypes will occur in F2

--The genotypes would be- AA Aa aa BB Bb bb CC Cc cc DD Dd dd EE Ee ee (15 genotypes)

Reason-

This is because, after crossing the parents, the F1 generation would all be Heterozygous dominant since one parent is homozygous dominant, while the other is homozygous recessive.

b) 25% of all F2 genotypes would be recessive across the 5 loci

Reason-

This is because each loci would produce only a 25% chance for a recessive trait, which would results to a general probability of 25% also.

c) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aaBBccDDEE

d) Yes i would change my answer in A and B if the parent cross was- AABBCCDDEE X aabbccddEE
