The purpose for which a pedigree chart might be prepared is to identify the pattern of inheritance of a particular trait.
This pedigree chart is created so as to see which traits this new offspring has inherited from its ancestors and which may possibly be transferred onto a new offspring later on in its life. It is formed in order to find patterns of inheritance and see what the most important traits that get inherited are.
Many autotrophs make food through the
process of photosynthesis, in which light energy from the sun is changed
to chemical energy that is stored in glucose. All organisms use cellular respiration to break down glucose, release its energy, and make ATP. Autotrophs are also called producers. They produce food not only for themselves but for all other living things as well (which are known as consumers). This is why autotrophs form the basis of food chains.
Yes, autotrophs need to perform cellular respiration.
Over 90% of all parasympathetic fibers are derived from the cranial nerve X, which is the vagus nerve.
The vagus nerve influences most organs below the neck. The activation of this nerve affects heart rate, blood pressure, production of stomach acid, movement of food through the intestines and breathing.
Answer:
The type of natural selection that occur when intermediate phenotype is favored is called STABILIZING SELECTION.
Explanation:
There are 3 major types of natural selection, these are: stabilizing, directional and diversifying selection.
A stabilizing selection is said to occur when natural selection favors average phenotype by selecting against extreme variations. Stabilizing selection usually leads to decrease in genetic variation of the population concerned.
A good example of stabilizing selection is that of snakes, which have deep green color that blend completely with their environment. This set of snakes will escape from predators more than others in the population, which have color that slightly differ from deep green and which do not blend very well with the environment. Those snakes, whose colour do not blend very well with their environment will get killed more easily by the predators and with time will become extinct while those with colour that blend with the enviroment will survive and produce more offspring.
The extinction of snakes from the population will lead to decrease in genetic variation.
Answer:
the reporter gene can randomly insert near to an enhancer sequence which can induce its expression
Explanation
Enhancers are genetic sequences capable of activating gene expression by binding to specific proteins (e.g., transcription factors). Enhancers can regulate the expression of nearby genes located thousands of nucleotides away, i.e., over several kilobases away. In the human genome, it is well known that enhancers are scattered across the 98% of the genome. In this case, it is expected that the reporter GFP gene construct is randomly inserted near an enhancer sequence (a 10% chance of insertion), thereby being regulated by that enhancer.
