If the beavers need large teeth to collect wood for their dams, the population of beavers with larger teeth will live longer because they can collect wood. They will them be able to reproduce therefore passing down the gene with larger incisor teeth
An increase in biodiversity can either cause over-population of several different species or an increase in competition factor(s). Those are the most common results.
Answer:
See below
Explanation:
A) First of all, it must be considered that HIV has a RNA genome.
The reverse transcriptase is a viral enzyme able to convert a RNA molecule (in this case the RNA would be the viral genome) to DNA. This process is important for two reasons:
* The DNA molecule is more stable than RNA --> Therefore, there is a higher likely that the molecule wouldn't be degradated by the host.
* The viral genome made of DNA will be integrated into the host genome --> To do so, it requires to be DNA instead of RNA
B) The inibitor is able to target the Reverse Transcriptase --> So, the likehood of converting RNA to DNA is lower. In this case, the single RNA molecule is less stable than the DNA and the host can degradate it more easily.
C) In general, the viral will not survive the treatment and, hence, the patient will not suffer from the viral infection
A primary role for the glucose molecule is to act as a source of energy; a fuel. Plants and animals use glucose as a soluble, easily distributed form of chemical energy which can be 'burnt' in the cytoplasm and mitochondria to release carbon dioxide, water and energy.
Answer:
C. Meiosis produces new combinations of chromosomes.
Explanation:
Compared to mitosis, meiosis divides TWICE and has EIGHT stages of rather than mitosis with the regular four stages.
The end result in Meiosis produces haploid cells in which half of the amount of chromosomes are produced in each individual cell, therefore Meiosis produces new combinations of chromosomes.
A. is incorrect because Meiosis does NOT create genetically identical cells.
B. is incorrect because Meiosis creates a HALF set of chromosomes (or just half than the original amount).
D. is incorrect because DNA is not produced during meiosis.
