    Help! Please! I am trying to do a frist hand invest. to model natural selection!

    you build this into a model of evoution by natural selection if you increase the number of generations. 10 of each colour bean (I'd do 3 colours but I'm lazy) 2 people pick 5 each so 20 left, get the ratio of each colour left (e.g. 10 black, 8 red, 2 green) Put out 30 beans again but in...

    Sec linked traits are present on the X or Y chromosome, however the Y-chromosome is small and the only disease gene that has every been even suggested for the Y-chromosome is one for a hairy ear condition. Therefore in human genetics when talking about sex linked we are talking about the...

    How to study for bio

    HELP! blueprint of life dotpoint

    Or you could talk about DNA sequencing which has created the Barcode of life database (BOLD) which we use to compare the DNA of animal species and thus elucidate there evolutionary relationships. One of the more interesting relationships that DNA sequencing has clarified the (relatively) close...

    LINKED GENES help!

    If two genes are linked it means that they are located physically close to each other on the same chromosome. Therefore independant assortment doesn't occur as it normally would and thus the offspring ratio isn't predictable in a simple mendelian manner. The 3:1 thing isn't actually right...

    HELP! blueprint of life dotpoint

    DNA sequencing was used to create the tree of life which has largely replaced the old five kingdom system of classification Tree of Life Web Project or you could talk about the use of DNA sequencing and phylogeny analysis that has revealed that whales and dolphins are closely related to hippos...
