Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease, results only when individuals possess two copies of the disease-causing allele.
VashaNatasha [74]

Answer:

a. Heterozygous individuals may pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to offspring.

Explanation:

Tay-Sachs, which is a recessive lethal disease  ---- Let say the recessive lethal diseases is s

∴ it only results when an individual posses two copies of the diseases-causing allele i.e two copies of the disease will be ss.

Now, when two hetrozygous individuals crossed , it is obvious that each can pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring.

Let show an illustration for the above statement.

Let the heterozygous individual be Ts, if Ts cross with another Ts;

we will have:

Ts × Ts

         T          s

T        TT        Ts

s        Ts          ss

the offspring are TT,Ts,Ts,ss

We can now see how the Heterozygous individuals pass on their copy of the disease-causing allele to the offspring (Ts).

During periods of rapid environmental change, what may happen to a species that was well-suited to the former environment?
Hunter-Best [27]

Answer:

The environment usually refers to all the biotic and the abiotic components that are surrounding us. This environment undergoes changes depending upon various factors which can be natural and/or due to the anthropogenic activities.

When there occur rapid environmental changes, then it directly affects the lives of species, in different ways, such as-

  • Those species that are comparatively weaker in adapting according to the environmental changes that occur, will not be able to cope up with the new environment. They may become extinct.
  • Some variety of species will be able to adapt to the new environment because of their easily adapting capabilities.
  • The traits that will be developed within the species in the new environment will be more successful in terms of reproduction.
  • The previously existed traits may have a harmful impact in the newly formed environment.

Give an example in which adding a new species to an ecosystem increases its biodiversity​
miv72 [106K]

Answer:

Well to give a good example of "ecosystem increases its biodiversity​" we must first define

biodiversity

"the variety of life in the world or in a particular habitat or ecosystem."

SO an example would be like bringing a frog from china to a pond in amercia,but this frog is new and there arent any frogs from the speicus
