Answer:
The number of STR repeats is unique and therefore it is considered as an allele of that <em>locus</em>
Explanation:
Short Tandem Repeats (STRs), also known as microsatellites or simple sequence repeats (SSRs), are short DNA sequences with a size of 1-6 nucleotide bases which may be many times repeated in tandem. STRs localize in specific regions of the genome (<em>loci</em>) and therefore they are molecular markers. Gel electrophoresis a technique used to separate DNA fragments based on their size. In consequence, the pattern of STR repeats or 'alleles' obtained by electrophoresis can be used to identify individuals. In a gel electrophoresis, STR markers produce different bands that run more slowly or faster on the gel in different lanes according to their size (e.g., more slowly >> higher size of the STR sequence), and thereby STR alleles are unique and serve to identify individuals.
ANIMAL. It's because animals are living organisms. Also 6 letters! A-N-I-M-A-L!
While stopping to get gas in The Valley of Ashes, Nick notices the eyes of whom staring down at them? (hint: there are 2 pairs of eyes watching)
Answer:
On the basis of gender preference.
Explanation:
In the modern view of adaptation, the main cause of infanticide is not the food but the gender preference. In many societies, people killed their infant when they knew that the infant is a girl. They thought that having a girl is curse or shameful thing so they kill the infant. These type of people wants male baby or prefer male child so that's why they kill the infants. In the ancient times, infants were killed that were abnormal or having any defects but today it happen due to gender preference.
Answer:
The options have been placed in the comment section. The answer is C. Inheritance of genes from both parents
Explanation:
Gregor Mendel is referred to as the FATHER OF GENETICS due to his immense contribution to the discovery of how traits are passed down or inherited from parents to offsprings. He found out that a unit of inheritance, which was later called GENE, was responsible for each individual trait of pea plants.
In his numerous experiments, Mendel discovered that the characteristics/traits of pea plants were determined by the contribution of both parents. Mendel hypothesized that each parent contributed 50% of this unit of inheritance via fertilization to the characteristics of an offspring. Hence, the inheritance of genes from both parents determines the characteristics of a pea plant.
