Answer:

By propagating both, Dominant and recessive alleles.

Explanation:

During evolution, only dominant traits transfer up to the next generation due to their better adoption in the environment but diploidy helps in hetrozygous arrangement of allele (A a) that contain both the dominant and recessive alleles. As a result, the genetic variations of both alleles gets preserved.

According to your reading, how did the Ottoman rulers promote unity among such a diverse population?
Solution 1

Answer:

By framing rules and laws and strictly following them

Explanation:

The diversified religious groups were maintained by millets. For each religious group there was one millet

Some minor measures such as admission to military on the basis of religious sects was prohibited and only deserving candidates were allowed to serve the army

Question
Assuming no crossing over, what combinations of chromosomes are possible in the cells produced at the completion of Meiosis I?
Solution 1

Answer:

The cells will contain either maternal or paternal chromosomal combination

Explanation:

If no crossing over occurs during Meiosis 1 then it greatly reduces the chances of better variations among the species. The resulting cells will contain the whole paternal or maternal genome of the parents that is result of less variant genetic combinations.

Question
Is the height of a randomly selected giraffeheight of a randomly selected giraffe a discrete random​ variable, a continuous random​ variable, or not a random​ variable?
Solution 1

Answer:

Continuous Random Variable

Explanation:

Random variables are used to quantify outcomes of a random event and their value is unknown therefore they are designated by letters.

They can be discrete where the values are specific or continuous.

Continuous random variables have values that lie within a continuous range.

Therefore, the height of a randomly selected giraffe height of randomly selected giraffe will be continuous random variable.

The giraffe were selected at random and their height will lie within continuous range.

The concept __________ refers to the degree to which we see ourselves as feminine, masculine, transsexual--or perhaps even nongender and having no gender at all.
Solution 1

Answer: Gender identity

Explanation:

Gender identity is how a person sees themselves their own internal sense and personal experience of gender. Only the individual can determine their own gender identity. Gender indentity refers to the degree to which we see ourselves as feminine, masculine, transsexual or perhaps even nongender and having no gender at all. Gender identity occurs as a result of a combination of inherent and extrinsic or environmental factors; gender role, on the other hand, is manifested within society by observable factors such as behavior and impression

What is the term for a rhythm in which the stresses of notes are displaced so that emphasis is given to normally unstressed beats?
Solution 1

Answer:  syncopation

Explanation:

It is well known that , in music, syncopation involves a variety of rhythms that are played together to make a piece of music, which causes part or all of a melody or piece of music to move.

It is said that syncopation is "an alteration or interruption of the regular flow of rhythm": a "placement of rhythmic tensions or accents where they would not normally occur."

Question
Cytokines mediate the actions of many cells in both innate and adaptive immunity. How are the actions of cytokines described
Solution 1

Answer:

Cytokines may be defined as the large group of the small protein that plays an important role in the immune system and cell signalling. They can also be used as immunodulating agents.

During the inflammation cytokine reach at the inflammation site. Cytokine shows the pleiotropy in which a single cytokine can perform different functions. They show redundancy in which different cytokine perform similar immune function. The synergistic phenomena in cytokine describe the increase in the cytokine activity in presence of another cytokine.

Solution 2

Answer:

Cytokines are the glycoproteins, or protein in nature that are released from the specific cells. These cells are part of the immune system that release these group of proteins that affects the role or function of the other cell by attaching the specific receptors.

Cytokines secreted in both adaptive and innate immunity. These are the molecules that acts as signaling molecules that leads to the regulation of the inflammation and immunity.

Thus, the correct answer- acts as the signalling molecule.

Question
Which one of the following statements about RNA is incorrect? a.RNA molecules are capable of evolving their enzymatic activity over time. b.RNA is usually found in double-stranded form, just like DNA. c.RNA molecules are typically shorter than DNA molecules. d.RNA molecules can form base pairs within a single strand. e.The nucleotide at the 5' end of an RNA molecule is typically a nucleoside triphosphate.
Solution 1

Answer:

B

Explanation:

Ribosenucleic acid (RNA) and Deoxyribosenucleic acid (DNA) are the two nucleic acids formed from building blocks called nucleotides. Although, they are formed from the same building blocks, but have structural differences.

One of the differences between RNA and DNA is that unlike DNA that is a double-stranded molecule formed by the complementary base pairing of two nitogenous bases (nucleotides), RNA is a single-stranded molecule made up of shorter nucleotides.
