The correct answer is: B. In sexual reproduction, individuals transmit half of their nuclear genes to each of their offspring.

The main difference between sexual and asexual reproduction is that in sexual reproduction genetic material from two parents is combined, while in asexual reproduction produced offspring is genetically identical to the one parent. So, advantage of sexual reproduction is that produced unique organisms contribute to genetic diversity (variation is formed). But, comparing to asexual reproduction, sexual reproduction requires more energy and lasts longer.

Asexual reproduction is found in lower organisms and can be in different forms: budding, vegetative reproduction, fragmentation, spore formation.

In a population of tree frogs, the allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y). I
Alex787 [66]

Allele that causes yellow eyes (Y) is dominant over the allele that causes orange eyes (y)

Y = 85% = 0.85 and

y = 100% - 85% = 15% = 0.15

f(y) = square root of y = √y = √0.15 = 0.387

frequency of the allele that causes orange eyes = 0.387

Once we know the value of y, Y + y = 1

Putting the value of y, we get

Y = 1 – 0.387

<span>Frequency of the dominant allele that causes yellow eyes = 0.61</span>

The bridge in the picture is connecting two pieces of land that represents two distinct places. What type of boundary is this?
lions [1.4K]

Answer:

The correct answer is physical boundary.

Explanation:

In my opinion, the kind of boundary it signifies is the physical boundary. The physical boundary is the most general type and is a naturally taking place obstruction in between the two regions due to the existence of either an ocean, river, desert, or mountain ranges. At various occasions, the political boundaries between the states or the countries form along the physical boundaries.

In a PCR reaction, a few seconds at high temperature disrupts the ____ that hold the two strands of DNA together, so every molec
Andrews [41]

Answer:

Hydrogen Bonds

Explanation:

In the polymerase chain reaction (PCR) the temperature rises to 90 ° C - 95 ° C, to break the hydrogen bonds, which are the types of bonds responsible for pairing the two strands of DNA, this process is known as denaturation of DNA.

The DNA is extremely stable, due to a large number of bonds (hydrogen bonds) that form between the two strands. If the temperature decreases, these bonds will begin to recompose, until the DNA returns to its original state
