Biology

Answer: alleles

Explanation:

Alleles are different forms of a given gene. Alleles are mutated forms of a given gene which controls a particular trait. For instance, the gene that codes for hemoglobin is denoted with the letter A but the gene has another variant denoted by S. In abnormal hemoglobin S (sickle hemoglobin), glutamate is replaced by valine at position 6 in the amino acid sequence of the two beta chains of hemoglobin. This change in the amino acid sequence causes the red blood cells to have a sickle shape resulting in sickle cell disease. Therefore hemoglobin A and S are alleles of a given gene.

What would happen to life on earth if the rates of photosynthesis and cellular respiration in all phototrophs were equal?
Reptile [31]

Answer:

When the level of release of carbon dioxide during respiration and use of carbon dioxide during photosynthesis this results in a compensation point. At compensation point the net available carbon dioxide to phototrophs becomes  zero. As, carbon dioxide is the chief ingredient for photosynthetic products like glucose and oxygen. These products are used up during the process of respiration. When the rates of two processes photosynthesis and respiration becomes equal. Phototrophic organisms will not be able to compensate for lack of carbon dioxide levels. Phototrophs will not be able to produce their food in the form of glucose and hence will not be able to respire too. This will result in lack of overall available food from phototrophs and lack of available oxygen for respiration. This will result in decline of organisms on earth.
