Why might noncoding regions of dna outside of genes be more variable than coding regions of dna?

1 answer:

7 0

In general, coding regions are more likely to have the same sequence. It is more likely to produce a non-functional gene product (protein).

Non-coding mutations are free to mutate because it has no protein product, and are less likely to affect phenotype. They are neutral mutations. Different mutations can be differentiated even when different groups have the same coding sequence.

Answer:

Population of some organisms increases and some decreases with the increase in temperature.

Explanation:

The population of certain species such as Nassuar grouper, Spotlight parrotfish and Queen angelfish increases with the increase in temperature while some species such as yellow tail snapper, sponges and algae decreased in population with the increases in temperature. This is because some species needs high temperature so increase in temperature increases the population while some species needs low temperature so high temperature kill them and population is decreased.

Answer:

Option C

Explanation:

The cyanobacteria is the oldest life form that once existed on planet earth some 3.7 billion years ago. These cyanobacteria formed layered structures fossils which are called as stromatolites

Hence, stromatolites are the fossilized colonies of cyanobacteria.

A set of rocks in Greenland show the evidence of cyanobacteria as a living organism.

These stromatolites have layered structure of bio-chemical accretionary that are produced by trapping sedimentary grains through biofilms of microorganisms such as cyanobacteria.

Hence, option C is correct
