Answer:
gene flow
Explanation:
Gene flow, in simple terms, is a transfer of gene from one population to another. Also called as migration, where there is movement of individuals, and the genetic material they carry from one population to another. It also involves successful breeding of these individuals in their new locations. When people with sickle cell anemia were brought into the US, transfer of the gene responsible for sickle cell disease changed the frequency of the sickle cell allele in overall US population.
Answer:
Tofu and soy oil come from soy bean plants that are grown on farms. Many farmers grow soy beans as cash crops that they can send to places such as tofu processing plants. Soybean plants are legumes. Legumes have bacteria on nodules which are on the roots of the plant. The bacteria on the nodules takes nitrogen from the air and fixes it into the soil, so that other plants that require nitrogen can use it as well.
This nitrogen cycle that was breifly discussed above is used in what farmers call a crop rotation. Farmers use soybeans and other legumes in roatations with grass crops such as corn or wheat. Grass crops are unable to take their own nitrogen from the air so they either need the nitrogen in the soil that the legumes provide for them in a crop rotation or they need a chemical fertilizer containing nitrogen. Many farmers choose to use both. Most farmers use a two or four year rotation on their fields. In a two year rotation a farmer will alternate a year of a legume such as soybeans and a year of a grass crop such as corn. In a four year rotation a farmer will alternate back and forth between legumes and grass crops just as in a two year rotation, but instead he will use four differnt crops. For example, a farmer may plant a rotation of soybeans, corn, alfalfa (a legume), then wheat (a grass).
Answer:
The post-transcriptional modifications in the mRNA produced as a result of the transcription in eukaryotes provide many advantages to the mRNA.
The two post-transcriptional modifications are the addition of 7-methylguanosine cap at 5' end of mRNA called capping whereas the addition of the poly(Adenyl) tail at 3' end called tailing.
The advantages of capping are:
1. Protection of nascent mRNA from the degradation.
2. Recognition by transcription factors helps in translation.
The advantages of tailing are:
1. Protection of the mRNA from enzymatic degradation in the cytosol.
2. Transcription termination
3. Export of the mRNA from the nucleus
