I think the best explanation for this genetic situation would be that Albino is recessive and black is dominant. In genetics, a trait that will appear in the offspring if one of the parents contributes it. The relationship between alleles of one gene, in which the effect on phenotype of one allele masks the contribution of a second allele at the same locus. The first allele is dominant and the second allele is recessive. In this case the black color is dominant over the albino trait.
If one of your anscestors had a genetic birth defect in their blood, the chances of your child having that aswell are present.
<h3><u>Answer;</u></h3>
C.) The number of differences in a specific DNA sequence of two species is multiplied by a known mutation rate to determine the number of years of evolution that separate the two species.
<h3><u>Explanation</u>;</h3>
- Molecular clocks are used to date origin of species. They are based on the observation that random mutations accumulate in genes at a fairly constant rate
.
- Once a mutation rate is determined it can be used to establish dates of divergence of species.
- Molecular clocks can be used in putting a series of evolutionary events into chronological order, by comparing sequences from different species to determine when they last shared a common ancestor, in effect drawing the family tree.
