Which type of change would be more likely to have severe consequences—substitution or deletion? Why?

1 answer:

5 0

While both will equate changes in a genetic chain, deletion would have more severe consequences. A substitution mutation usually only causes minor disorders and diseases, like sickle cell anemia. Whereas deletion causes much more serious diseases, like cystic fibrosis, and turner syndrome which is where a female is born with only one X chromosome.

The inability of organisms to evolve anything that could be an advantage reflects _____.

sergey [27]

The inability of organisms to evolve anything that could be an advantage reflects "the limit of historical constraints".

<h3>What is the limit of historical constraints of evolution?</h3>

Although evolution is a powerful process that leads to

rapid changes in the characteristics of organisms, limits

to evolution arise from a lack of genetic variation, a

loss of well-adapted genotypes in populations due to

gene flow, trait interactions leading to trade-offs, and/

or the difficulty of evolving simultaneous changes in a

number of traits. This is the limit of historical constraints of evolution.

<h3>What are the factors that can cause an organism to evolve?</h3>

Four main factors lead to evolution:

(1) the potential for a species to diversify;

(2) heritable genetic variation among individuals within a species as a result of mutation and sexual reproduction;

(3) competition for scarce resources; and

(4) the spread of organisms that are better able to endure and procreate in the environment.

harina [27]

Our bodies produce an enzyme called lactase. This enzyme helps our bodies digest lactose (a sugar found in milk). As we age, the amount of lactase our bodies produce decreases. Some people don’t produce as much as others. If you are lactose intolerant, it means your body doesn’t produce a lot of lactase. One option is to drink milk with lactase added to it.
Example: Lactaid

suppose you balanced a sample against three 10-gram masses. Suppose the sample weighed a little more than three masses, but coul

alexdok [17]

Answer: 241.5

Explanation:

Move the slider on the 100 gram beam to the first mark on the right, which is the 100 gram mark. If the pointer still is above the central mark, continue to move the slider to the right. Once the pointer drops below the central mark, move the slider back to the previous mark to the left. If the pointer drops below the central mark at 100 grams, move the slider back to zero.

Move the slider on the 10 gram beam to the 10 gram mark. Perform the same adjustments you did in the previous step until you find the appropriate slot for the 10 gram slider.

Repeat the same process with the 1 gram slider.

Add the values from each slider. For instance, if the 100 gram slider is on 200, the 10 gram slider is on 40 and the 1 gram slider is on 1.5, you would add 200 plus 40 plus 1.5 to get a total of 241.5 grams as the mass of your object in the tray.
