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))

Nezavi [6.7K]

Answer:

This question lacks options, however, it can be answered based on general understanding of the topic

The answer is SUBSTITUTION MUTATION

Explanation:

A mutation is any change that occurs in the nucleotide sequence of a gene. Mutation can be of different types depending on how it occurs. One type of mutation is SUBSTITUTION MUTATION, which is a mutation in which one or more nucleotide base is replaced by another in the sequence.

Nucleotide bases are read in a group of three called CODON. Each of these codons specify amino acid. Hence, if the nucleotide base sequence is altered during mutation, the amino acid sequence is altered likewise. In this case where the original amino acid sequence is: Met-Ala-Gln-Arg-Glu-Leu, the mutation affected the nucleotide bases coding for Arginine (Arg), hence changing it to Glycine (Gly).

This means that a base substitution mutation occured, replacing the amino acid Arginine with Glycine in the mutated sequence.

How does human activity impact Earth's systems such as deforestation
KatRina [158]

Answer: Land, Water,Urbanization, and smog and acid rain.

Explanation:

Smog and acid rain are produced through similar sources, primarily vehicle and industry emissions. Though both result from human-caused air pollutants, there are chemical distinctions between the two. Though there are regulations in effect to reduce both types of pollution, they remain a threat to both human health and the environment.Smog Causes A combination of three components -- nitrogen oxides, volatile organic compounds (VOCs) and sunlight -- causes smog. Nitrogen dioxide interacts with sunlight to create nitrogen oxide and a free oxygen molecule. This interaction produces ozone, which typically turns back into nitrogen dioxide, and the cycle repeats. The addition of VOCs interrupts the cycle, however. VOCs are produced by various sources, such as paint, cleaning products and refrigerants. The VOCs prevent the breakdown of ozone, allowing it to gather near the surface of the Earth, where even more nitric oxides are produced by vehicle and industry emissions, creating the dense smog seen in large cities such as Los Angeles and Beijing.Smog Hazards The presence of ozone in the form of smog can have several negative health effects. Respiratory systems can be irritated, reducing overall lung function and triggering asthma attacks. Evidence reported by the Environmental Protection Agency also suggests exposure to ozone reduces immune system responses, especially in the lungs. These effects subside over time, but little is known about the long-term effects of repeated exposure. Vegetation also suffers from smog, as plants that take up too much ozone can be damaged in ways such as discoloration and a loss of leaves that cuts photosynthesis efficiency by up to 50 percent.
