The main goal of the human genome project is to identify the 3 billion genes that comprise the human genome. Hence the correct answer is option A.
<h2>
Answer: (b) Cholesterol</h2>
Explanation:
As the name suggests, cholesterol is a sterol (a modified steroid). It is biosynthesized by animal cells.
Human and apes have 5 fingers that are used for grasping objects, so they have the same function, but they also have a common ancestor and are closely related, that means that this is an example of homologous structures. In evolutionary biology, the term homologous structures means that there are organs and skeletal elements of animals and organisms, that by virtue of their similarity, suggest their connection to a common ancestor.
Answer:
Rods
Explanation:
Rods are specialized photoreceptors that function best in low-light conditions. They are a major part of our vision in dimly lit environments, as well as our perception of movement in our peripheral vision.
Complete question:
Thinking creatively about evolutionary mechanisms, identify at least
two schemes that could generate allelic polymorphism in a population except natural selection that favors heterozygotes.
<u>Select the two correct answers.</u>
-inbreeding among individuals in the population
-purifying selection against mutational variants of alleles in the population
-continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population
-mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity
-genetic drift of alleles common in the population
-events leading to genetic bottleneck effect
Answer:
The two events that might favor heterozygotes among the options are
- The Continuous migration of individuals with new alleles into the population
- Mutations that do not severely affect viability and reproductivity. These might favor heterozygous frequencies.
Explanation:
Due to technical problems, you will find the complete explanation in the attached files.
