A population of tree salamanders is highly variable in color and blends easily with the surrounding, colorful vegetation. After

a factory upstream impacts their environment, several species of trees die off and only those with one color of leaf and flower are left. Within several generations, the salamander population has reduced variability in color.

Answer:

This is an example of directional selection.

Explanation:

Directional selection is a type of positive selection where the evolutionary fitness of one genotype is higher compared to the other ones, thereby favoring the selection of one particular phenotype and shifting allele frequencies towards the selected genotype. In a biological context, the directional selection increases the chances for surviving and for reproducing in those organisms that have the alleles favored by this type of selection. Thus, the directional selection produces the loss of genetic variability and leads to the fixation of the dominant alleles.

False, Some plasmids may reanneal without taking in any more DNA. when plasmid and foreign DNA are combined after being cut with the same restriction enzyme

Enzymes that cleave DNA are known as restriction enzymes. Each enzyme distinguishes one or more target sequences and cleaves DNA at or close to those sequences.

Numerous restriction enzymes produce single-stranded DNA overhangs at the ends of their cuts, which are often staggered. But some result in blunt endings.

DNA ligase is an enzyme that joins DNA. A single, unbroken DNA molecule can be created by joining two sections of DNA that have matching ends using ligase.

DNA ligase and restriction enzymes are employed in DNA cloning to splice genes and other DNA fragments into plasmids.

An enzyme that cuts DNA and recognises particular DNA locations is known as a restriction enzyme. A number of restriction enzymes make staggered cuts at or near their recognition sites to create ends with a single-stranded overhang.

Explain the difference between chromosomes, chromatids and chromatin. (3-4 sentences)
Drupady [299]

In eukaryotes, DNA is found in chromosomes in the nucleus. Chromosomes are made of a single molecule of DNA and proteins. Chromosomes are linear, and DNA in them is double stranded. There are many chromosomes in a single nucleus. In prokaryotes, a single DNA molecule which is double stranded forms the chromosome. There are no proteins in the chromosome. In viruses, the genetic material is either DNA or RNA. They may be double stranded or single stranded. It may be circular or linear.
