<span>If the evolutionary survival of homosexuality is due to antagonistic pleiotropy then there has to exist a genetic basis for homosexuality. This is because antagonistic pleiotropy refers to when one gene controls for more than one trait where at least one trait is beneficial and at least one trait is detrimental to the organisms survival. In this case, homosexuality would be the trait that is detrimental to the organisms survival and there would need to exist another beneficial trait that is controlled by the same gene.</span>

Part 1 - Pick one abiotic factor and change it dramatically. (Example: remove it completely or increase it A lot)
zubka84 [21]
1. Water is abioitic and is needed by every living organism Soil is abioitic and is needed by plants Trees and other plants release water vapor from their leaves (a process called transpiration) that create humidity (which in turn influences how much rain falls in an area) The climate in an area influences the special adaptations that plants and animals have. For example: warm fur coats and thick layers of fat to keep warm in cold climates, animals in dry, hot climates (desert) have large ears to release heat and cool down. Biotic factors also influence abiotic factors. Animals produce waste (go to the bathroom) which in turn will become nutrients in the soil.
2. decrease heat will affect biotic factors, like animals, warmth.

Hope this helped :)

Regarding horizontal gene transfer between bacteria by conjugation, transduction, or transformation:
Mice21 [21]

Answer:

Distinct mechanisms are used by bacteria in order to transfer the gene from one bacteria to another. These are transformation, transduction, and conjugation. Transformation refers to the process of uptaking extracellular DNA by the recipient of the other bacterial cell.  

In the process of transduction, the donor DNA gets packed within the bacteriophage and infects the recipient bacteria. In the process of conjugation, the genetic substance is transferred by the donor bacteria to the recipient via the process of mating.  

a. Of all these three mechanisms, transformation is the process that exhibits a broad range and can be easily performed in the lab. As in the process, there is a slight chance of rejection or failure due to direct compatibility between the bacteria.  

b. While the narrowest broad range is found in the process of conjugation, as in order to transfer the genetic substance between the two bacterial species, there should be a similarity between the two species so that they can mate and exchange the genetic substance in between them.

Analyze how a point mutation can affect the overall protein shape and function, using hemoglobin as an example.
aniked [119]

Answer:

A point mutation can be described as a mutation in which changes occur in a single nucleotide. A nucleotide may get changed, deleted or inserted from the sequence of DNA. Point mutations can be harmless or harmful depending on the nucleotide in which the changes occur.

A change in just one nucleotide can result in the formation of wrong amino acid and hence changed or wrong proteins can be formed. If the original protein was involved in cellular reproduction, then the entire process of reproduction can be affected by a point mutation.

Sickle- cell anaemia is a disease in which the body fails to produce enough healthy red blood cells. This disease occurs due to point mutation. Point mutation occurs where glutamine (GAG) of the β-globin gets changed into valine (GUG). This change causes the haemoglobin to get a deformed structure due to which it is not able to carry out oxygen.

ad-work [718]

Answer:

A cabinet and a small closet.

Explanation:

A cabinet and a small closet are the best locations to incubate cultures because these location are safe from the cats interaction with the microbial culture. A cabinet consist of a cupboard with shelves or drawers for storing things. Closet is a tall cupboard which is used for storage things so due to height the cats can't reach to these place so the culture is safe.
