How would you explain the presence of different species of birds on different islands that are in close proximity to each other?

Answer:

Evolution by geographic isolation

Explanation:

To explain the presence of different species of birds on different islands that are close in proximity to each other, we use the concept of evolution by means of geographic isolation.

In this type of evolution, the birds originally must have a common ancestor. As at the time when the Islands were joined together, there must have been a prevalent gene flow among the specie.

As the Island drifted apart, the apparent gene flow was cut short and organisms had to evolve and device new evolutionary strategies to survive on their own.

This will lead to formation of new species of organisms now dominating and occupying the different Islands.

Explain how mutations cause cancer cells.
earnstyle [38]

Answer:

Cancer is unchecked cell growth. Mutations in genes can cause cancer by accelerating cell division rates or inhibiting normal controls on the system, such as cell cycle arrest or programmed cell death. As a mass of cancerous cells grows, it can develop into a tumor.

Which is incorrect descriptions of the genetic event initiated by the HIV reverse transcriptase (RT) upon the HIV infection?
Scrat [10]

Answer:

e. None of these

Explanation:

The immune deficiency viruses (HIV) are retroviruses that use a reverse transcriptase (RT) enzyme to produce a single-stranded DNA (ssDNA) from an RNA template. The reverse transcription allows retroviruses to replicate their genetic material, which is integrated into the host's genome as a double-stranded linear DNA molecule in a similar way to the mechanism of insertion used by endogenous retrotransposons. The synthesis of DNA is started by cellular tRNAs (tRNA3Lys) that are packaged into the virion. After reverse transcription, the HIV DNA enters the nucleus of CD4 immune cells (also known as CD4+ T cells), and then it integrates into the genome to coopt the host's cell machinery for its own replication.

An energy-transferring compound in cells is a nucleotide known as
8090 [49]

Adenosine triphosphate (ATP) is a complex molecule which provides energy to the cells. This molecule is present in all the living organisms. The chemical energy which is obtained by the body by the breakdown of the food is captured by the ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate) molecules. This captured chemical energy is then transferred by it in order to fuel different body processes.

Hence, the answer is ATP (Adenosine Triphosphate).
