The right answer is A. genetic drift

From the point of view of a gene, genetic drift leads to the increase or decrease of the frequency in the population, of one of its versions (= allele).

In any population, it is statistically inevitable that some alleles (each variant of the same gene) are not transmitted by any adult to their offspring. In addition, some individuals have no descendants at all. The number of alleles (genetic variability) is therefore reduced. Among the "surviving" alleles, some will see their original frequency decrease or increase, all without implying the appearance or the addition of new alleles.

Two concrete examples are a foundation effect and a decrease in genetic diversity.

Natural selection is the differential survival and reproduction of individuals due to differences in phenotype. It is a key mechanism of evolution, the change in heritable traits of a population over time. Charles Darwin popularised the term "natural selection", and compared it with artificial selection.

Here are some of the tRNA molecules in Lucy's white blood cells. Let's see if tRNA #1 is carrying the correct amino acid for its

Kitty [74]

Answer:

For the tRNA anticodon CCA the corresponding codon is GGU, which codes for the amino acid Glycine (Gly).

Explanation:

Transfer RNA or tRNA is responsible for driving the right amino acid into protein synthesis, once the mRNA codon has been translated by the ribosome. It is for that reason that each mRNA codon must have a complementary tRNA anticodon.

The RNA pairing rules is that each nitrogenous base has a complementary base, so:

- Adenine is complementary with uracil A=U

- Cytosine is complementary with Guanine C=G

In this case, it can be seen that:
