A dominant allele overpowers other alleles, so the transmission of a dominant allele to a child from one parent will cause that particular trait to appear. A recessive allele requires each parent contribute the recessive allele for the child to have that trait appear. Take a look at this less...
confrontation of different world views as well (Simberloff,2014). The opposition between static and dynamic nature has been well-identified in philosophical tradition long before it was in biology, for example by Merleau-Ponty who commented around 1957 “The concept of nature does not evoke only ...
What does deme mean in biology (genes/mating)? What is meant by expected genotypes? What does autosomal co-dominant mean? Can a pedigree be x-linked dominant and autosomal dominant? How are sex-linked pedigrees different from autosomal pedigrees?
Most do not study animal intelligence, but they encounter it, and the lack of it, every day. The stories they tell us reveal what I'm convinced is a new window on animal intelligence: the kind of mental feats animals perform when dealing with captivity and the dominant species on the pla...
Question: What does divergent evolution mean? Types of Evolution: There are many types of evolution that describe the variation in species. The types of evolution are divergent evolution, convergent evolution, and parallel evolution. Answer and Explanation: ...
What doeshomozygousmean? Homozygous(and its less common formhomozygotic) means “relating to a cell that has two identical alleles for a particular gene at corresponding positions onhomologouschromosomes.” Let’s break that down. Chromosomes carry genes. A gene is a segment ofDNA—a string of ...
similar primary units called cells. It is a universally accepted theory about the organization and structure of all organisms. Modern research and molecular biology, with their advanced tools and technology, have added many tenets to the cell theory, but it remains the dominant theory of biology....
Student: But does that really contradict Gause's hypothesis? Because, I mean, are those different wobbler species really competing for the same food? I don't think so. I think they're more like, you know, almost cooperating so that they don't have to compete. ...
Define a dominant trait. What does it mean if a gene is said to be dominant? What is the difference between dominant mutation and recessive mutation? Describe how to identify each of them from a cross that is given P, F_1, and F_2. What is the difference between a gene and an al...
A. What does it mean to 'knock-out' a gene? B. How would the process of knocking out a gene aid in determining a function of the gene? Describe the genetic requirements for the parental generation. Define dominant trait in biology ...
