pleiotropy polygenic inheritance is a non-Mendelian form of inheritance in which a particular trait is produced by the interaction of many genes. Polygenic inheritance refers to the kind of inheritance in which the trait is produced from the cumulative effects of many genes in contrast to monogenic inheritancewherein the trait results from the expression of one gene (or one gene pair). In humans‚ height‚ weight‚ and skin color are examples of polygenic inheritance‚ which does not follow a Mendelian pattern

the net movement of water will be leaving the hypertonic solution. Lastly‚ an isotonic solution entails no net movement of water across a semi-permeable membrane as the two substances involved display osmotic equilibrium.

Synthesis of Butyl Benzoate Using Phase Transfer Catalysis The objective of the experiment is to synthesize the butly benzoate by nucleophilic substitution and characterize it by IR spectroscopy. The percent yield of the final product is determined after the synthesis. Procedures: 2.0 mL of 1-bromobutane‚ 3.0 g of sodium benzoate‚ 5.0 mL of water‚ 4 drops of Aliquat 336‚ and a boiling stone were placed in a 50mL round-bottomed flask. The reaction mixture was refluxed for 1 hour and the flask

flow will occur and the resistance to flow will be independent of the pipe wall roughness (e). Meanwhile‚ turbulent flow occurs when the value of Reynolds number is exceeding 4000. For large viscous force‚ whereby Re value is less than 2300‚ viscous effects are great enough to damp any disturbance in the flow and the flow remains laminar. The flow is called laminar because the flow takes place in layers. Any combination of low velocity‚ small

The Effects of Individuals’ Detection of Changes in Images on Reaction Time Abstract The purpose of this current study was to examine how individuals detected or noticed change when viewing images on their level of attentiveness. The experiment consisted of 22 participants who had to detect change across conditions for 20 minutes. These conditions were importance of change (marginal and central) and change type (color‚ location and disappearance and reappearance of images). These

"different" to say the least‚ consumed by the morose. Just like these great men‚ Grendel and Frankenstein’s monster do not conform to the societal model. Also like these men‚ Grendel and the monster are uniquely superior to the rest of mankind. Their superiority is seen through their guile to live in a society that ostrasises their kind. <br> <br>Grendel‚ though he needs to kill to do so‚ functions very well in his own sphere. Grendel survives in a hostile climate where he is hated and feared by all do

EXPERIMENT I Photoreduction of Benzophenone Introduction The study of chemical reactions‚ isomerizations and physical behavior that may occur under the influence of visible and/or ultraviolet light is called Photochemistry. The fundamental principles for understanding photochemical transformations are that light must be absorbed by a compound in order for a photochemical reaction to take place‚ and that for each photon of light absorbed by a chemical system only one molecule is activated for

Part 2: Safe work with large inductances 1. One of the main hazards of using inductances is electrical energy stored in the magnetic field. If a circuit containing an inductance is interrupted then the stored energy can release through air (forming an arc). This can destroy a switch contact‚ burn fingers‚ create other damage. In the circuit of Figure 1‚ show how to mitigate the risk (pay attention to polarity!). We give the elements in this circuit some simple values for the purpose of

Engineering Laboratory (Lab) Report Department of Engineering Faculty of Engineering and Science‚ University Tunku Abdul Rahman (UTAR) 1. Introduction Laboratory (Lab) reports are the most frequent document written by engineering student. These reports can contribute a significant amount of marks and yet little time or attention is devoted in understanding on how to write them well. The aim of this document is to provide a general guideline on writing a lab report. A lab report should not be
