How do genetics play a role in evolution?​

Biology

Stells [14]2 years ago
3 0

A few of these characteristics are favourable and are called as beneficial mutations which provide a better survival benefit to changing surroundings. Evolution of a new class of species altogether occurs when a permanent change takes place in the phenotype of an entity as a result of natural selection and competition when an environment continues to stay for longer durations incorporating better-adapted entities.

Gene mutations cause the evolution we observe. It causes a change either in the organization or amount of genetic material in a cell. Such a mutation if occurred in a gamete can be easily inherited by the emerging gamete. New alleles of genes are produced as a result of mutations and hence the variations between entities. Therefore, genes and genetic mutations play a significant role in the process of evolution.

Answer:

C. Characters with little genetic variation will constrain the rate of natural selection

Explanation:

Natural selection can have an effect only as long as there are variations on characters on which it can select upon. Genetic variation is independent of the environment or the needs that a species may have to become better adapted to its changing environment. In other words, genetic mutations are the raw material on which natural selection can work. If there is a low rate for mutations to occur, then natural selection will proceed at a slow pace. The opposite is also true. Since mutation rate may be more frequent at some locations in a gene than at others, it can be predicted that the characters coded in that gene location will be more likely to be affected by natural selection and therefore what phenotype may be molded by natural selection.

Briefly describe how cell differentiation occurs in the developing animal embryo
kkurt [141]
Embryonic differentiation<span> is the process of development during which embryonic cells specialize and diverse tissue structures arise. Animals are made up of many different cell types, each with specific functions in the body. However, during early embryonic development, the embryo does not yet possess these varied cells; this is where embryonic </span>differentiation<span> comes into play. The </span>differentiation<span> of cells during </span>embryogenesis<span> is the key to cell, tissue, organ, and organism identity.</span>

(birth rate + immigration rate) - (death rate + emigration)

Explanation:

emigration is animals moving out and immigration is animals moving into the population.
