If a pink snapdragon is self-fertilized, the offspring are red, pink, or white. What type of inheritance pattern does flower col
BaLLatris [955]

The type of inheritance pattern flower color exhibited in this example is incomplete domination (Intermediate).

<h3>What is meant by incomplete dominance?</h3>

Incomplete dominance or partial dominance is gene expression in offspring based on phenotypic observations that mediate from crosses of parents with different and contrasting characters.

Why intermediate traits can appear in an individual?

An intermediate trait occurs when both heirs are equally strong. The two inheritors of nature are neither closed nor covered. On the other hand, the parents will cover each other because they are just as strong. Offspring with intermediate traits will carry the same combination of traits from both parents.

  • Paracrine: Their target cells are often their neighbors so they often diffuse to reach them
  • Autocrine: Their secretion acts on themselves. Hence they are their own targets.

marishachu [46]

Answer:

The capsid has three functions: 1) it protects the nucleic acid from digestion by enzymes, 2) contains special sites on its surface that allow the virion to attach to a host cell, and 3) provides proteins that enable the virion to penetrate the host cell membrane and, in some cases, to inject the infectious nucleic
