A change in a population gene pool due to a chance event?
The sudden change in the genetic make up or genetic form of an individual is called gene mutation.
Why do young plants and animal resemble their parents?
When offsprings in a plant are produced by vegetative propagation, these are like their parents only because recombination of genetic material is avoided due to absence of meiosis.
What are the changes of allele frequency in a small population that is due to random chance and don't follow the laws of probability?
Random changes in allele frequency are due to genetic drift.
Is mutant bacteria and transgenic bacteria same?
Transgenic: This kind of bacteria is formed by transfer of genetic material from another bacteria. The transfer may be natural or by genetic techniques. Mutant: This kind of bacteria is also a modified one at genetic level, but not due to transfer of genetic material from other bacteria or organism, but due to genetic changes in the organism itself. This changes may be due to UV rays or ionising radiations, or other mutantion stimulating agents (mutagens)
Why would you want to change the genetic makeup of an organism?
There are many different reasons to change the genetic makeup of something. As humans, if we are to change something genetically it's usually to bring out a trait or quality in that organism that is beneficial to humans. For instance, if we change certain bacterium they can be unused plant matter and turn it into water, atmospheric nitrogen gas, and octane. There have also been studies where genetically modified polio virii have been used to effectively destroy brain tumors. If the genetic changes happen in nature it is due to the selection of certain traits as being beneficial to be passed on, or detrimental to be eliminated. Also, in nature, an organism will vary it's genetic makeup to become less susceptible to an extinction event. The wider variety of genes in a species, the less likely it is to be wiped out completely.
Appearance of an individual due to it's genetic makeup?
Phenotype.
Appearance of an individual due to its genetic make up?
phenotype
What is the outward appearance of an individual due to its genetic make up called?
It is known as their genome.
When studying organism why it important to study more than one member of a species?
variability. individual organisms exhibit different characteristics due to their unique genetic makeup.
Why are all snowflakes hexagrams?
Though snowflakes vary greatly in appearance they all have six-sides due to the chemical makeup of the water they are formed from.
Is there such thing as a cross between a human and a flamingo if so please can you give me facts?
No, there are no human flamingo hybrids due to huge differences in genetic makeup.
Is a mustang bigger then a domestic?
Mustangs are smaller, on the whole, than average domestic horses. This is generally due to lower nutrition rather than genetic makeup.
A change in a population gene pool due to a chance event?
The sudden change in the genetic make up or genetic form of an individual is called gene mutation.
How Heredity and environment causes individual differences?
Heredity causes individual differences because of genetic traits passed down from parent to child. The environment can cause individual differences due to inequality or even accidents.
What does the term phenotype mean?
The term phenotype refers to the observable characteristics or traits of an organism, resulting from the interaction between its genetic makeup (genotype) and the environment. It includes physical traits like height, eye color, and behavior, as well as physiological traits like metabolism and disease susceptibility.
Can all genetic diseases be identified in a karyotype?
The can be analyzed to determine the sex of the individual and whether there are any chromosomal abnormalities.
Do people die with fingernails?
People do die with finger nails. Any appearance of nail growth after the death of the individual is due to the dehydration of the surrounding skin, which shrinks.
