Starch is found in foods such as peas, corn, and potatoes. For the body to receive energy from starch, it is broken down into sm

aller units. A mutation occurs in the gene that codes for a protein that breaks down starch.

A mutation is any alteration in the genetic material (nucleotide sequence) of an organism. Mutations can be neutral, harmful, or beneficial depending on the environment in which the orgasm lives.

  • In this case, the mutation IS HARMFUL because the organism is not more able to break down starch.

  • The deleterious mutations are eliminated (selected) by natural selection.

  • Beneficial germline mutations can eventually be inherited, increasing their frequency in the population.

for a particular flower the allele for red is domonaniant the allele for white is ressivepunnent square
Papessa [141]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-The red and white flower alleles are co dominant.

Explanation:

The Mendel suggested that for any trait, the organism contains its alleles which could be dominant and recessive. But there are cases in which multiple alleles exist for the same trait which are neither dominant nor recessive.  

Two cases arise due to this in which both the dominant alleles co-exist and show their phenotype effect called "co-dominance" and when both alleles form a new phenotype called 'incomplete dominance".

In the given case, the self-pollination produces red, white and patched flowers as a result of co-dominance because both the alleles show the equal effect on the flower petals (mixed phenotype) and form a flower with red patches or spots on the flower.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

A young boy has been found, and police are trying to locate his family. They take a DNA sample from him and begin collecting DNA
GaryK [48]

Answer:

The correct answer would be Y-chromosome analysis.

Y-chromosome analysis is technique used to search the parental line of a boy on his father's side.

Gender of a person is determined by 23^{rd} chromosome in humans. XX is present in females and XY is present in males.

Mother always passes X chromosome to her progeny but father passes both X and Y chromosomes. If X is passed from the father then the offspring will be a girl and if Y is passed from the father then the offspring will be the son.

The sons (F₂) of this son (F₁) will also bear the same Y chromosome as that of grand father (P).

Thus, Y chromosome always passes from father to son and hence, Y-chromosome analysis can help in identification of father of this young boy.
