Compared the Mendelian Dominance, how to incomplete dominance and codominance increase the number of phenotypes? Provide an exam

ple of each to illustrate your point.

REY [17]3 years ago

Answer/Explanation:

<h3>Incomplete dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, one allele is not entirely dominant over the other, so heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) show an intermediate or blended phenotype.

For example, consider flower colour.

  • If the allele for red flowers (R) was dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, and rr) and two possible phenotypes. (Red (RR and Rr) and white (rr)).
  • However, if the allele for red flowers (R) was incompletely dominant over the allele for white flowers (r), then there are three possible genotypes (RR, Rr, rr), and three possible phenotypes (red (RR), white (rr), and pink (Rr))
<h3>Co-dominance</h3>

In incomplete dominance, two alleles are both expressed, one is not dominant over the other. Therefore, heterozygotes (organisms with two different alleles for the gene) express both traits.

For example, consider flower patterns.

  • If the allele for spots (F) was dominant over the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, and ff) and two possible phenotypes. (Spots (Ff and ff) and stripes (ff)).
  • However, if the allele for spots (F) was co-dominant to the allele for stripes (f), then there are three possible genotypes (FF, Ff, ff), and three possible phenotypes (spots (FF), stripes (ff), and spots and stripes (Ff))

Evolution is the
lina2011 [118]

Answer:

Evolution is the <u>biological process</u> that happens over time in a population, giving rise to new <u>species.</u> The theory of evolution states that all organisms alive on Earth today <u>have a common ancestor</u> which lived <u>years ago</u>.

Explanation:

Evolution is one of the fundamental reason of diverse life on Earth today. Principally, this process takes place by changes in genetic elements via mutations and crossing-over. The positive changes (mutations) allow the organism to develop better condition in order to survive in changing environmment. However, if the changes takes place at major scale, it also leads to the creation/development of new species. To explain this further, I have added a photograph where we can see how different organisms were evolved in the history of Earth.

What are all of the energy transformations that take place as sunlight is converted to usable energy within humans
Charra [1.4K]
<span>The energy transformation in the sun is primarily the change of nuclear energy to light energy. 

More Explainable: </span><span>The sun is said to "burn hydrogen" but what that really means is that near the center of the sun there is enough temperature and pressure to cause the fusion of hydrogen nuclei (protons) into helium nuclei (two protons and two neutrons). The fusion (not fission) reaction energy give off energy in a complex way that includes heat and light. The light works its way out from the center of the sun to the surface and eventually out of the surface into space. That is the sunlight we see as well as some light that is outside our range of vision. The light is electromagnetic energy. </span>

Explain the relationship between mutations, adaptations, natural selection, and extinctio
vladimir1956 [14]
Mutations are like genetic mutations. Say a bird species may usually have a orange beak but one bird was born with blue, that’s a mutation.
Adaptations are things you adapt to like plant species have adapted over the year to receive less and less water to live.
Natural selection is basically ‘killing off’ the weaker ones. Say a bird species has broad wings but mutations happened over time leading them to have small wings that do not allow flight, they may eventually all die off due to that. Extinction is if al those birds were to die off from that mutation.

Explain how climate and seasonal variations affect Earth’s varying biomes
Travka [436]
Climate variations are averaged by using weather conditions from past years. Climate variability varies by seasons, because some seasons get colder than others, and there could be more precipitation in the atmosphere, which would then make it easier to calculate future rainfall, making people aware of storms that are coming ahead of time and allowing them to prepare for it (making storm water drains, etc.).
