AnnZ [28]3 years ago
5 0

A human with heterozygous genotype can have a dominant phenotype if one of the alleles complete mask the effects of the other.

  • Heterozygous genotype involves two different alleles, unlike homzygous genotypes in which the alleles are the same.
  • When the two alleles of an heterozygous genotype exert equal effects on one another, they are said to be codominant.
  • When one of the alleles of an heterozygous genotype incompletely exert its effects on the other allele, it is said to be incomplete dominance.
  • When one of the alleles complete dominates and masks the effects of the other allele, it is said to be dominant.

Hence, a dominant allele will always produce a dominant phenotype even if the genotype of the organism is heterozygous.

Mechanical stress applied to bone __________ osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress __________
iren2701 [21]

Mechanical stress applied to bone increases osteoblast activity in bone tissue, and the removal of mechanical stress decreases osteoblast activity.

Explanation:

Osteoblasts are cells , that are produced in the bone marrow and are responsible for formation of bones and bone matrix.

Whenever a mechanical stress is applied on the bones , a series of reactions are triggered. As a result the activities of osteoblast increases to synthesize more and more bone matrix to provide strength.

Again on the other hand a decrease in mechanical causes a decrease in the activities of the osteoblasts.
