By definition, the phenotype is the actual physical manifestation of an organism's genotype, so the way an organism looks or behaves is what is being selected on. For example, if ladybugs have red (R) shells or yellow (r) shells and ladybug-eating birds only eat the ones with red shells, any red-shelled ladybugs will be selected against based only on their phenotype. The birds do not know whether each bug is RR, Rr, of rr, so phenotype, not genotype, is what is affected by natural selection.
A) the offspring are genetically identical to the parent.
The reason for this is that there are no different traits being passed down that could alter the offspring's appearance. If there is sexual reproduction, then the offspring shares both of the parent's traits. If there is only one parent, then there is less diversity. <span />
Answer:
125 molecules
Explanation:
Between two amino acids , one water molecule is eliminated and a peptide bond is formed. When 250 amino acids are joined to form a polypeptide , 125 molecules of water will be removed.
That is, 250/2=125
3% of time or, 40 minutes.
I hope this helped you answer your question! I've definitely learned a lot about the topic of meiosis and mitosis today from my research! Peace out!
