Explain incomplete dominance, using snapdragon flowers as an example.

Biology
1 answer:
oee [108]2 years ago

Answer:

Dominant allele does not completely conceal recessive allele.

Snapdragon with genotype Rr (R being red and r being white), would have a phenotype of pink flowers.

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is where a dominant allele is not able to completely conceal a recessive allele, usually leading to a phenotype which appears to be a combination of the two.

For example, in snapdragons:

The allele for red flowers (R) is dominant over the allele for white flowers (r). Let's say a snapdragon flower had the genotype Rr, one allele for red flowers and one for white. In the case of 'normal' dominance the dominant red flower allele (R) would mask the effects of the recessive white flower allele (r), resulting in the phenotype (outward observable characteristics) of having red flowers.

However here in the case of incomplete dominance, the dominant allele would not be able to fully cover up the effects of the white flower allele, meaning that both colors (red and white) are expressed in the phenotype, resulting in pink flowers.

Hope this helped!

Answer:

FMRI helps to measure and map the brains activities.

Explanation:

FMRI refers to Functional Magnetic Resonance Imaging. It helps to measure and map the brain's activity.

FMRI scan works by looking at the blood flow in the brain to detect areas of activity. Glucose is the main source of energy in the brain,but not stored in the brain. So when parts of the brain need energy o perform action, more blood flow in to transport more glucose.

FMRI scan helps doctors to map out the brain before surgery and provides more information about individual brain to prevent serious injury before the surgery.

It also helps doctors monitor a progressive condition like dementia to study how the disease progresses.

so like let's say there are 3 dominant genes and 1 recessive, you'd write the ratio like this
