Answer:
The genotypes of the rooster and the chicken are homozygous and that of their offspring is heterozygous.
This case is called codominance, where the offspring receives an allele from each parent, from the rooster and the hen, because there is codominance, so neither allele is recessive and the phenotype of both alleles is expressed so the phenotype of the offspring is checkered.
We can say then that the chicken and the rooster have equal strength between their alleles. in the cases of codominance the laws of mendel do not apply.
all living things are composed of cells
cells are the basic units of structure and function in living things
all cells are produced from other cells
I would say commensalism since one organism benefits (the seeds) and the other other is neither benefited nor harmed
Answer:
1 - Malaria
2- Typhoid fever and Tuberculosis
Explanation:
In case of malaria, the causal microorganism is Plasmodium falciparum, which target red blood cells of host. In humans who have defective sickle cell allele, have abnomral shaped red blood cells. So microorganism does not able to attach to abnormal shaped RBCs thus humans having sickle cell allele are more resistant to death caused by malaria.
In cystic fibrosis, mutation on that gene which encodes a protein known as cystic fibrosis transmembrane conductance regulator (CFTR).
Normally Salmonella typhi (bacteria responsible for typhoid fever) enters into intestinal cells by attaching with CFTR receptor. Carriers of cystic fibrosis mutant gene, have abnormal CFTR thus reduced rate of entry of bacteria into carriers.
Normally Mycobacterium tuberculosis (bacteria responsible for tuberculosis) adds sulfate in its cell walls. In carriers of cystic fibrosis, arylsulfatase B activity is reduced which incorporates sulfate. Thus reduced arylsulfatase activity makes bacteria unable to add sulfate in its cell walls thus decreases their virulence to carriers of cystic fibrosis.
