If the expression of a trait requires only one copy of a gene (one allele), that trait is considered dominant. If the expression of a trait requires 2 copies of a gene (2 alleles), that trait is considered recessive. One exception is X-linked disorders.
A muskrat population is growing exponentially. What might cause this population to enter logistic growth?
Answer: One cause that might cause the population of this semi aquatic rodents to enter a logistic growth would be the elimination of predators from their environment and the increase of food. The reason being that they are rodents with an adaptable lifestyle and an omnivorous diet. With no predators they would quickly adapt to their environment and increase their birth rate.
I hope it helps, Regards.
The cell wall is what gives plant cells their shape. The cell wall, not to be confused with the cell membrane, is a rigid structure made up of long cellulose fibers, branching hemicellulose fibers, and pectin. The fluid pressure inside the cell also contributes somewhat to their shape.
Answer:
F = dominant, free earlobes
f = recessive, attached earlobes
father is "ff" then he has only two recessive attached earlobe alleles meaning he can only have attached earlobes. This is his phenotype, the visible trait produced by the genotype.
The mother is said to be "Ff". She has one dominant free earlobe allele (F) and one recessive attached allele (f). The dominant allele gets expressed as the visible trait (phenotype). = free earlobes
