Answer AND Explanation:
Proteins are formed from the translation of mRNA to amino acid. Each set of 3 nucleotides make up a codon that codes for a specific amino acid. Frameshift mutations can also impact the formation of the protein. A change in a nucleotide does not always change the amino acid or protein because some amino acids have more than one set of 3 nucleotides that code for them. Valine, for example, is coded for by GUU, GUC, GUA and GUG. A change in the last nucleotide wouldn't affect the amino acid formed. However,GAG codes for glutamic acid.
Answer:
The process of natural selection is acting on <u>Field mouse individuals</u> where as evolution is occurring on <u>Field Mouse population. </u>
Explanation:
As the problem shows, the field mice are the ones that natural selection is acting on, but only the ligher shade ones. Because the lighter shade individuals are more likely to survive in the beach because they blend with the environment.
Evolution occurred on the field mouse population because if you read the script in the end, they were able to successfully reproduce. This means that they evolved in such a way that they were able to survive in their new environment. (most likely carrying on the trait of light-colored fur)
Natural selection acts on traits, phenotypic traits, favorable to the environment. Evolution occurred because of the natural selection, because the favored trait enabled the organism to adapt to the environment.
the insertion on removal of mutations are dangerous in nature. the process is basically just one large gamble to see what it does. and even though we have a decent understanding of the genomes of many animals and plants, we still dont know everything. so if we tamper with certain genes we may cause a evolution or we might kill the subject and the potential for it to procreate.
Lead.
"Due to insufficient water treatment, lead leached from water pipes into the drinking water, exposing over 100,000 residents to elevated lead levels."
The last one...the species is unable to reproduce in any habitat beyond a population of 300 individuals
