Natural selection is a gradual process where biological traits become more or less common in a population depending on the usefulness of the trait.

After DNA fragments with matching sticky ends are temporarily joined by complementary base pairing, the union can be made perman
STatiana [176]

Answer:

The correct option is b. DNA ligase

Explanation:

DNA ligase is an enzyme that joins DNA fragments. If two DNA fragments or molecules have complementary ends, the ligase can join them together to form a single and intact DNA molecule, without interruptions. This is because the ligase enzyme seals the space between the molecules to form a single DNA fragment.  

The others enzymes have different functions:

DNA helicase is characterized by separating DNA from double strands into single strands and acts in DNA replication.

ATP methylase plays an important role in DNA replication when determining the beginning of replication that has already been replicated or not.

DNA polymerase is an enzyme that is responsible for catalyzing the polymerization of the new strand of DNA during the replication of this molecule.

A mutation in _____ results in a change in _____ that sometimes produces a(n) _____ with altered structure and function.
xenn [34]

Answer:

A mutation in <u>DNA </u>results in a change in <u>RNA </u>that sometimes produces a <u>protein </u>with altered structure and function.

Explanation:

DNA is the hereditary material which causes gene expression in our body by producing protein. The type of protein which is produced by DNA totally depends upon the sequence of nucleotides in the DNA. But, DNA molecule does not produce protein directly. Initially it produces RNA (mRNA, tRNA, rRNA) by the process of transcription, the nucleotides in the RNA are complimentary to those in DNA. In short, the message regarding the structure and composition of the type protein to be produced by DNA is first decoded from DNA in the form of RNA. These RNA molecules then synthesize the protein as per the instructions from DNA by the process of translation.

But, in case a mutation occurs in the DNA which causes a change in it's nucleotide/nucleotides, the protein which will be produced will be different in the structure and function than the protein which was supposed to be synthesized. It happens because, a triplet of nucletiodes in the DNA and hence RNA specifies a particular type of amino acid and several amino acids are joined in a long chain to form polypeptide which ultimately forms protein. But, if any nucleotide in the triplet is changed due to mutation it may change the amino acid and if amino acid will change the protein will also get altered.

Hitman42 [59]

The right answer is facilitated diffusion.

Facilitated diffusion is a diffusion mechanism facilitated by membrane transporters. it's the spontaneous passage of molecules or ions (like the passive diffusion) through a biological membrane through transport molecules (unlike passive diffusion). This process does not consume energy (like the passive diffusion) and therefore does not involve active transportation.
