A calico cat shows both the traits for orange fur and black fur. What kind of allele expression is this?.

Answer:

<u>Codominance</u>

Explanation:

  • In some cases there are Dominant alleles. If this were the case the cat would only show one trait, in this case, black or orange fur. So it can't be that.

  • Another option would have been Incomplete Dominance. In that situation the cat would have been a mixed between the orange and black color.

(For example; say you have a red flower and a flower. If the offspring were pink, that would be <em>incomplete dominance.</em>  

So it also can't be this option.

  • In the case of a Recessive allele there would have only been one color.

In order for a recessive allele to become manifested that trait from both of the alleles(one from each parent) would have to be recessive. If not the dominant allele would always be the one to show through.

  • This leaves us with the option of  Codominance. Codominance is when one allele doesn't show over the other one(<em>Dominant alleles)</em> or when the two don't mix to make a new allele(<em>Incomplete Dominance) </em>and both traits from each parents show up on the offspring.

(For example; a white cow and a brown cow produce offspring brown and white fur.)

So because the cat has both traits for black <em>and</em> orange fur this would be a form of codominant allele expression.

Maru [420]

Answer:

In a particular case of secondary succession, three species of wild grass all invaded a field. By the second season, a single species dominated the field and the other two species had a lower relative abundance. A possible factor contributing to the abundances of these species in this example of secondary succession is <u>inhibition</u>.

Explanation:

Trees are great examples of allelopathy in plants. Some use their allelochemicals to inhibit germination or impede development of nearby plant life. Most allelopathic trees release these chemicals through their leaves, which are toxic once absorbed by other plants. Black walnut is a prime example of this.

Potential Energy on the way up the rollercoaster
Nana76 [90]

Answer: Because The potential energy you build going up the hill can be released as kinetic energy — the energy of motion that takes you down the hill. Once you start cruising down that first hill, gravity takes over and all the built-up potential energy changes to kinetic energy. Gravity applies a constant downward force on the cars.Potential energy is the energy an object has as a result of its position. Potential energy is stored energy that has not yet been released. Gravitational potential energy is potential energy that results from an object's position in a gravitational field, and is equal to the object's weight multiplied by its height.

hope this helps have a nice day❤️
