Lethal genes (genes that result in the failure to develop a vital organ or metabolic pathway) are nearly always recessive. animal breeders who discover a unique trait and selectively breed to increase the occurrence of that trait often encounter a noticeable increase in lethal genes. why? a. the lethal recessive gene may be incompletely dominant. b. spreading the gene among offspring of both sexes will increase the likelihood it will be sex-linked and expressed. c, the selective-mating of closely related individuals, or inbreeding, increases chances that two recessive genes will "meet" in offspring. d. "pleiotropy" - the gene that is being selected for this trait may have the second effect of being lethal. e. "epistasis" - selection for the desired trait may result in "uncovering" the lethal gene.

C

Explanation:

When breeders notice a unique trait of interest and selectively breed to increase their population, there is tendency of also increasing the population of lethal genes. This happens via a situation known as inbreeding depression. There is a tendency to mate closely related individuals in a bid to increase the occurrence of a desired phenotype. However, in a situation where these animals have a recessive lethal gene, it may result in a double recessive thus becoming obvious in the population.

answer: after carbon dioxide enters the leaf through stomata it moves into the mesophyll cells where photosynthesis occurs and glucose is constructed. respiration occurs when glucose (sugar produced during photosynthesis) combines with oxygen to produce useable cellular energy.

explanation:

the framers of the constitution insisted that federal judges be nominated instead of elected due to their desire to have judges above the shifting whims of the masses.

the hope, whether achieved or not, was that federal judges would only be beholden to the law and that by not having judges be elected, they would be protected if that law dictated an outcome that ran counter to popular opinion.
