Answer:

Copy number variations (CNVs)

Explanation:

Copy number variations (CNV) are variations in the number of copies of specific nucleotide sequences present in the genome of organisms of the same species (or closely related species). The Human Genome Project showed that the human genome contains many CNVs, which are caused by duplications and deletions (indels) of large regions of repetitive (non-coding) DNA regions. Since CNV are usually localized in non-coding DNA regions, they generally are evolutionary neutral (i.e., prone to diverge among organisms) and therefore don't affect the phenotype of the individual. Single Nucleotide Polymorphisms (SNPs) represent another type of sequence variation that is abundant across the human genome.

Why is the hypothesis that black cats cause bad luck not science?
Alja [10]

Because it has no scientific explanation. As a matter of fact it has no explanation.

The things that black cats cause bad luck are a myth, and do not have any proof or explanation, meaning it cannot be concluded neither as a hypothesis nor scientific.

nadezda [96]

the role of plants in carbon cycle

Explanation:

the amount of CO2 found in the atmosphere varies over the course of a year. much of this variation happens because of the role of plants in carbon cycle...respiration occurs all the time, but domains during the colder months of the year, resulting in higher CO2 levels in the atmosphere during those months.

Can you create a punnett square for this question?
Ierofanga [76]

Answer:

The correct answer is 50%.

Explanation:

In the given question, the table says that fruit color is determined by the incomplete dominance of allele R and R'. In the case of RR genotype the fruit color will be red and R'R' the food color will be yellow but in the heterozygous condition the color would be orange, so the cross between RR' and R'R' would be as follow:

Punnett square:

      R       R'

R'    RR'   R'R'

R'    RR'   R'R'

It is found by the given cross that the cross between RR' and R'R' would form two orange fruit plants out of four which is 50%
