What is the process that alters genes and allows variation?

Biology
1 answer:
vredina [299]3 years ago
3 0
Mutation results in new gene types, the new trait made by the gene; makes variation of two humans. Keep in mind, no two humans are the same; all humans have different heights, appearances and genes. The gene is passed down by sexual reproduction for generations; that is until a recessive( rare) gene appears in a child, then it passes on. This is never ending; and can be applied to dominant (most common) genes also.

Explain E.O. Wilson's theory of Island Biogeography as it applies to environments other than islands physically
fgiga [73]

Answer:

The theory of E.O. Wilson's theory of Island Biogeography was originally developed as island biogeography, to explain species richness of actual islands, surrounded by water.

It proposes that the number of species found in an undisturbed environment is determined by immigration and emigration. According to him, the species richness will be the same if this island will have an equal number of the immigration and extinction or emigration of species.

Which hormone uses a second messenger mechanism? testosterone estrogen norepinephrine cortisol none of these choices?
jeka94

<span>Norepinephrine uses the Second Messenger System, which means, cells signal to each other what molecules have been released that will trigger a physiological reaction. </span>

<span>
This phenomenon is activated after the ligand  (ion or molecule) is bonded to its receptor (protein molecule), creating a variation that causes a chain-reaction, that will finally activate the Second Messenger. The latter will activate intercellular molecules that will be able to control the cell’s activity. </span>

How does a decrease in biodiversity impact an ecosystem?
lidiya [134]
Biodiversity is essential to an ecosystem's resistance against viruses and famine. In history, there has been many cases in which a lack of biodiversity has allowed a virus or disease to endemically wipe out an entire species of plant. This will subsequently affect all consumers of each trophic level. Ex: A disease that attacks the DNA of only one certain species of plant would cause decreases in the population of the organisms that rely on eating that plant, the organisms that rely on eating those organisms, and so on. This is caused by a decrease in food source, thus not being able to sustain the ecosystem's demand, thus naturally killing off any organisms that would not be able to find a sufficient food source.
