The limiting factor on the population of Arctic foxes is density-dependent. In population ecology, density-dependent processes happen when population growth rates are regulated by the density of a population. Density-dependent factors are factors where the effects on the size or growth of a population vary with the density of the population itself.
Transfer of newly created plasmids to e coli. The bacteria that contains a plasmid with antibiotic resistance will grow in the presence of antibiotic concludes that the insertion was successful.
<h3>
<u>Explanation:</u></h3>
The plasmid DNA that contains the foreign DNA when integrated with the competent bacteria which is e coli and heated, plasmid DNA will be entering into the bacteria by means of some smaller pores that are created in the membranes of the cell.
The plasmid DNA will be copied many times with the help of the replicating mechanism of DNA of the bacteria. Bacteria will grow on a nutrient rich food called agar after the transformation process. Those bacteria that contains a plasmid containing antibiotic resistance only grow in the antibiotic presence. Transformed bacteria will then grow in larger quantity.
Answer:
The correct answer is: Variation in nucleotide sequences are located in those regions of the gene which do not affect the sequence of the protein due to genetic code degeneracy.
Explanation:
- Proteins are encoded from the genes located in the chromosomes.
- The genes are made up of the heritable DNA (Deoxyribonucleic Acid) sequences.
- These genes are transcribed by the enzyme called RNA polymerase into mRNA (messenger Ribonucleic Acid) sequences in the nucleus.
- The mRNA is then translated into protein sequences by the Ribosome in the cytoplasm or the RER (Rough Endoplasmic Reticulum).
- The Ribosome reads the mRNA code in form of triplets, that is, three consecutive nucleotide are read as a single code that encode for a single amino acid. This triplet code that responsible for coding for a single amino acid is called a Codon.
- The Codons are degenerate in nature. This means that among the three nucleotide in a codon the first two nucleotide is specific for a particular amino acid. The third nucleotide is "wobble" in nature. This means that whatever may be the nucleotide in the third position it will not change the amino acid coded by the first two nucleotide.
- Hence, a single amino acid is coded by more than one codon.
- So, gene sequences showing variation in the wobble nucleotide position will encode for the same protein.
