Answer:
The correct answer will be option- <em>Streptococcus pyogenes.</em>
Explanation:
M protein is an important virulence factor which is produced and expressed on the surface of <em>Streptococcus pyogenes.
</em>
This protein plays important role in the bacterial infection like adherence to epidermal keratinocytes, resistance to phagocytosis, invasion of epithelial cells and microcolony formation.
The M-protein is a α-helical coiled structure protein which consists of the four distinct regions (A–D) in which A-region in the N-terminal is highly variable.
Thus, option- <em>Streptococcus pyogenes</em> is the correct answer.
Answer:
The correct answer would be group D- 809 kg.
It can be explained with the help of pyramid of biomass.
Pyramid of biomass represents biomass or the amount of organic or living matter present at each trophic level in an ecosystem.
The amount of organic matter is usually expressed in grams per meter square (g/m²).
There are usually four trophic levels in the pyramid of biomass: primary producers, primary consumers, secondary consumers, and tertiary consumers.
Usually, the biomass decreases as we go up the trophical levels specially in terrestrial ecosystem. Inverted pyramid can be observed in case of aquatic ecosystem (biomass of phytoplanktons is less than that of herbivores).
Here, maximum biomass (809 kg) belongs to the group D and hence, it would belong to primary producers.
<span>B) Genetic information is passed from parent to offspring, with no genetic variation.
Because asexual production has only one parent and since have of the genetics is not coming from one other parent the offspring will get all of it genetics from the one parent.</span>
Molecular clocks use rates of mutation to measure evolutionary time.Mutations add up at a fairly constant rate in the DNA of species that evolved from a common ancestor. The more mutations that happened in each lineage, the greater is the differences between these lineages.
Answer:
In an ancestral elm species, mutations gave rise to the phenotypic trait "winged-seeds". Subsequently, selection favored elm plants with winged-seeds that diverged over time to become a separate species
Explanation:
A mutation is a genetic change in the DNA sequence. In general, mutations have a negative impact on the fitness of the individual (i.e., mutations are generally deleterious) and therefore they disappear from the population. However, there are situations where mutations are beneficial and confer an adaptive advantage, thereby increasing their frequency in the population. In this case, mutations associated with the formation of winged-seeds conferred an adaptive advantage (i.e., higher seed dispersal capacity) to individuals who had this phenotypic trait, thereby these individuals had more chances to reproduce and pass their genes to the next generation. Eventually, Elm plants with winged-seeds accumulated sufficient genetic differences to prevent interbreeding, leading to the formation of a separate species.
