A haploid species has a gene on chromosome 2 which codes for lactase. In nature, four different alleles of the lactase gene have

been identified. How many different alleles could you find in the genome of a single individual of this species

Answer:

Haploid organisms have only one allele per <em>locus</em>

Explanation:

In haploid species, the number of alleles for a single <em>locus</em> always will be only one. Haploid species contain one complete set of chromosomes in their somatic cells. In nature, species are generally diploids but there are exceptions to this norm (e.g., male bees, ants and wasps are derived from an unfertilized egg). Consequently, in haploid organisms, the allelic and genotypic frequencies are the same. In this case, it is also important to note that the three remaining alleles will be distributed among the other haploid individuals in the population.

Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

B. Organisms in each ecological system have evolved in that system and have adaptations suited for that environment.

Explanation:

According to natural selection theory, organisms need to continuously adapt and evolve within an environment or risk being wiped away from that environment.

Organisms that are not able to adapt to an environment are gradually replaced by those that have the capability to adapt and survive in that environment.

Those that are able to survive go ahead to reproduce and give rise to offspring with inherent ability to survive while those that cannot survive die off.

The correct option is B.

Lady bird [3.3K]

Answer:

Maternal inheritance means the transfer of characters from mothers to offspring through mitochondria. The paternal leakage means some mitochondria transfer from the father as well.

As the information given in the question, the amount of DNA from father's mitochondria is small. The quite small amount of DNA will not affect the conclusions and results that are made by the studies and do not affect the inheritance of mitochondrial DNA.

Hypothesize why DNA replication has such accuracy
andrew-mc [135]
DNA replication has such accuracy varies. There are many DNA polymerases/repair enzymes that synthesize/repair DNA. Some are more frequent than others. The error frequency ranges between 1 to per 10,000 base pairs to 1 to per 10,000,000 base pairs, depends on the enzyme
