Oxygen and hydrogen make up water
Answer:
Horizontal gene transfer
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer or lateral gene transfer is when an organisms of different species can acquire a gene from a different one. This process is well understood in bacteria and is responsible for the appearence of antibiotic resistant bacteria. Bacteria can take DNA fragments through a process known as transformation, but this is less common in eukaryotes. Gene transfer agents like viruses could carry the gene from one specimen to the other. Another way could be Horizontal transposon transfer but the exact mechanisms behind it are still under research.
Answer: Organisms depend on other organisms and on the nonliving things in an ecosystem to meet their basic needs for food, water and protection. 3. Plants use energy from the sun to produce their own food from air and water.
Explanation:
Answer: Option B) inability to digest proteins
Explanation:
The pancreas secretes trypsin, a proteolytic enzyme, that acts on proteins cleaving its peptide bonds, and eventually yielding peptones or polypeptides.
Thus, in the absence of pancreas protein digestion would be a problem
Answer:
b. the bottleneck effect.
Explanation:
The bottleneck effect occurs when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. This will result in a very reduced genetic variation, which can lead to further adaptation problems.
The Founder effect has its similarities (in terms of the resulting reduced genetic pool) with the bottleneck effect, BUT it occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population.
The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle in population genetics that states that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next IF certain conditions are present (no migration, aleatory mating, among others), so this is not the answer.
Genetic drift (refers to the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms, so it is not the answer.
