When there is incomplete dominace each allel?
Expresses itself in heterozygous condition .
What do scientists use the Hardy-Weinberg model for?
To predict changes in allel frequency
What is meant by fitness in darwinian evoution?
Strictly speaking, reproductive fitness is meant. The organism that has the most and best quality progeny adapted to the immediate environment will leave more representations of it's alleles in the population gene pool and the allel frequency will change over time fulfilling the definition of evolution.
When is a recessive allel expressed in offspring?
A recessive phenotype is expressed in an offspring that has a homozygous recessive genotype for that trait.
Discuss two additional sources of evidence for evolution and identified any limitations of the evidence?
I think you do not know what you are talking about, or this question is from some ill posed text.Evolution, the change in allel frequency over time in a population of organisms, is fact.We can sequence enough of a populations genetic makeup to see the allels changing and we can certainly see morphological changes happening as a result of allels changing over time.So, how can I identify any limitations of the evidence here?That would also go for theory of evolution by natural selection. The evidence is so broad and comes from so many disiplines that any limitations on any evidence would not amount to much anyway.Evidence in bold
How tall is Allel Aimiche?
Allel Aimiche is 6'.
What is a gene pair that consists of a dominate allel and a recessive allel?
That is called heterozygous or it is called a hybrid.
What is RY506?
506 is allel variant of ry gene in Drosophila melnaogaster (The common fruitfly). The normal ry allel is recessive and prodiuces brown-orange produces
When an allel is described by a lower-case letter it is a?
recessive
What type of allel does a hybrid plant have?
unlike alleles
Which condition is inherited as a dominant allel?
Huntington's Disease
What is an individal that has one recessive and dominant allel for pure bread?
Heterozygote.
When there is incomplete dominace each allel?
Expresses itself in heterozygous condition .
What do scientists use the Hardy-Weinberg model for?
To predict changes in allel frequency
How does allel cause a trait an organism?
The allele causes a certain type of protein to form
What statement can you make about your cats genotype for eye color?
it is probably homozygous for the resseive allel
What two things are similar because the phenotypes of organisms are not produced by a single dominate allel?
I don't know.Ballsack?
