Answer:

nucleotides are only building blocks whose combinations determine different codons which subsequently associate in a sequential manner in order to create different amino acid combinations

Explanation:

A gene is a specific segment of DNA whose (nucleotide) sequence is copied into an RNA during the process of transcription, typically a messenger RNA (mRNA) molecule which is subsequently used to synthesize a protein. During translation, each triplet of nucleotides, i.e., each codon, corresponds to a specific amino acid.  There are 64 possible codons (4³: 64), which can combine in different ways to create different amino acid combinations, and thus they are responsible for the generation of a huge amount of proteins coded by a given genome.

What is the probability that a hybrid individual with the genotype AabbCcddEeFf will produce a gamete that has the genotype abCd
PSYCHO15rus [73]

Answer:

6.25%

Explanation:

Find the number of different gametes that can be produced

number of gametes produced = 2^n

n is the number of allele pairs that are heterozygous

there are 4 heterozygous allele pairs, these are: Aa, Cc, Ee and Ff

2^4 = 16

abCdeF is one of the 16 genotypes that could be produced

to find the percentage, divide 1 and 16 and multiply by 100

1 ÷ 16 = 0.0625

0.0625 × 100 = 6.25

The number of organisms in a food pyramid decrease as the tropical level
Aleonysh [2.5K]

You need to recognize that the higher on the food chain, the fewer the number of organisms that occupy that level. This is because of the energy that is available from one level to the next has to decrease since it is used for life's processes.
