Answer:

The correct answer would be phenotypic variation.

Phenotype refers to observable traits or characteristics of an individual. For example, height, color, shape, et cetera.

Phenotypic variation refers to the sum total of variations in characteristics within populations of the same species.

In contrast, genotypic variation refers to the sum total of variations (such as allele frequency) present in the genome of populations of the same species.

Answer:

Phenotypic variation, then, is the variability in phenotypes that exists in a population. For example, people come in all shapes and sizes: height, weight, and body shape are phenotypes that vary. Hair, eye color, and the ability to roll your tongue are variable phenotypes, too.

Which statements describe proteins? Select three options.
andre [41]

<u>Complete Question:</u>

Which statements describe proteins? Check all that apply.

A.) Proteins are created from the code in DNA.

B.) Proteins are synthesized in the nucleus of a cell.

C.) DNA and RNA are proteins.

D.) Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

E.) Proteins affect the structures and functions of living things.

F.) The shape and the function of a protein are not related.

<u>Correct Option:</u>

The statements which describe proteins are as follows:

A.) Proteins are created from the code in DNA.

D.) Amino acids are the building blocks of proteins.

E.) Proteins affect the structures and functions of living things.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Transcription is the method of RNA molecule creation from DNA. The translation is the mechanism by which the protein material is produced from the RNA molecule. Originally, protein forming data is contained in the DNA in the context of nucleotide code. The mechanism of translation happens in the cytoplasm and not at the nucleus.

DNA and RNA contain nucleotides and not proteins. Proteins are the alpha amino acid polymers, which serve as the building block of the protein. An individual's phenotype relies on the composition of the protein, and protein determines the composition and phenotypic expression in living organisms. 3D structure of proteins and their work are realized with one another.

Matthew and Sofia are packing lunches to take to work. Which of the following lunch choices is highest in folate? 1. tuna salad
cluponka [151]

Answer:

Option 4

Explanation:

Folate is vitamin B and occurs naturally in various food items such as green leafy vegetable, lentils, peas, beans, in fruits such as banana, melon, and enriched products such as bread, juices etc. Folate is essential for making up genetic material or DNA. Out of all given options, option 4 has both lentil and spinach (green leaves) which are rich source of folate. Option 1 has bread as a source of folate. Hence, the correct answer is option 4.

In hummingbirds feather color is incompletely dominant. A rather large population of hummingbirds has 396 red-sided individuals
GrogVix [38]

Answer:

a) Frequency of the R allele: [(396 x 2) + 257] / (396 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 1049 / 2420 = 0.433

b) Frequency of the r allele: [(557 x 2) + 257] / (396 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 1371 / 2420 = 0.567

c) Frequency of the R allele: [(196 x 2) + 257] / (196 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 649 / 2020 = 0.321

d) Frequency of the r allele: [(557 x 2) + 257] / (196 x 2) + (257 x 2) + (557  x 2) = 1371 / 2020 = 0.679

e) migration is gene flow  

Explanation:

Gene flow (also referred to as gene migration) is the movement of genes that acts to change allele frequencies in local populations by transferring genetic material from one population to another. Gene flow may be caused either by the movement of organisms that reproduce in new populations (migration), or by the movement of gametes (for example, pollen dispersal in plants).

To determine how old Neandertal fossils are, researchers must use radiometric dating. They use an isotope with a half-life of 12
Sloan [31]

Answer:

96000YEARS

Explanation:

Given that 1/28 = 8 half lives

this means that 8 half lives ,

and the given fossil should have 1/28 of the isotope

8 half lives = 1200 x 8

= 96000years

therefore  the predicted Neandertal fossils is 96000years
