Telomeres are found at the end of chromosomes to protect genes from reduction during replication of chromosomes, especially during meiosis or mitosis. They are composed of repetitive sequences that do not code for protein. Telomeres become reducted <span>especially  due</span> to the inability of the lagging strand to be completely replicated to the end of the chromosome. However, while the telomeres become shorted with every replication, the telomeres are usually slightly elongated by telomerase reverse transcriptase.

Focus on the evolution of horn size in the Bighorn sheep population from 1950 to present. What would you predict would happen if
dalvyx [7]

Answer:

The correct answer is option e) "Over time, we could see an increase in the H1 allele frequency".

Explanation:

The bighorn sheep (Ovis canadensis) is a species that is a very attractive for hunters because of its long horns. This negative human influence has make that bighorn sheep with long horns struggle to survive and reproduce. Horn size in bighorn sheep is determined primarly by a gene called HRN, which has two alleles H1 (for long horns) and H2 (for smaller horns). if hunting were discontinued for bighorn sheep in a large population we can predict that over time, we could see an increase in the H1 allele frequency, because in this population bighorn sheep with long horns will have better chances of surviving.
