Linkage disequilibrium is a phenomenon in genetics in which the distribution of an allele is not independent of other alleles...
The accumulation of hybrid dysfunctions occurs not only by the presence of incompatible alleles, but also by a set of processes related to TE activation. Mechanisms that trigger transposition in hybrids are poorly understood, but it is well known that when two different genomes combine to form a...
The combination of the above stimuli contributes to shape our aesthetic value for different bird species. Given the universal interest in birds, it thus comes naturally to ask: What is it that makes some birds more aesthetically attractive than others to humans? Determining human aesthetic ...
If it is only 7% of the population, then why do three times that number – 21% of Americans – try to “actively include” gluten free in their diet. Many of them claim it makes them feel better and helps with weight loss. That 21% is the average of 19% for men and 23% for wo...
Heterozygous(and its less common formheterozygotic) means “relating to a cell that has two different alleles for a particular gene at corresponding positions on homologous chromosomes.” Remember, a chromosome carries genes in linear order; a gene is a segment of code that dictates what trait wi...
What are selection and genetic drift, and how are they different from each other? Which characteristic of life pertains to your heredity information? Under what conditions is it most likely that genetic drift will lead to the fixation of deleterious alleles?
The concept of codominance is a term used to describe the genetic relationship between two parents who each contribute half of their child's genes. The term is also used to describe how genes work together to create an ind...
. Organisms that reproduce sexually have two sets of chromosomes, one set from each parent. For example, a pea plant has 14 chromosomes, or seven pairs, including a pair of chromosomes with genes that specify flower color. The matching genes on a pair of chromosomes are called alleles....
What are the blood types? How are they different? What makes blood "universal"? Could a child of type O blood have a type A father and a type AB mother? Explain. If one parent is type B blood type and the other parent is also type A blood...
A trait that appears when a person has two recessive alleles for that gene. D. The least What is an allele? What are the differences between dominant and recessive alleles? What are some examples of each allele as well? What is a dominant allele? What makes a gene dominant, co-...
