Having hair is a(n) _________ trait among mammals.

Biology
1 answer:
Blizzard [7]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Derived trait

Explanation:

An ancestral (or primitive) trait/character is a feature inherited from the common ancestor of the species/group of interest, while derived traits are those that were absent in the last common ancestor of the group of interest. For example, considering mammals as the target group, the presence of hair is a shared derived trait relative to other vertebrates, i.e., amphibians, reptiles, and birds. However, this trait (hair) is ancestral for humans since the genetically closest species to humans (e.g., chimpanzees) also have hair.

Hope this helps :)

What are two modes of genetic variation of organisms
Arada [10]

The genetic variation of organisms has three sources they are mutation, gene flow and sexual reproduction.

Explanation:

Genetic variation are caused by mutation , random mating, random fertilization and recombination between homologous chromosomes during meiosis.

It is a variation in alleles and genes, among the populations. There is a genetic variation within the family of closely- related individuals. If it is a neighborhood there are many families and there is also genetic variation among that group.

An exact genetic copy of the parent organism is produced in asexual reproduction. It only introduces the genetic variation into the population if a random mutation in the organism's DNA is passed on to the offspring.
