A particular species of sea bird underwent a genetic mutation that resulted in big beaks. The larger size of beaks helped the bi

rd to break open clams and other mollusks for food. It also helped them defend themselves against predators. After many generations, almost all of the organisms in the population have big beaks. Tor which two reasons did this phenomenon occur?
(YOU CAN SELECT MORE THEN 1)
A. Natural selection
B . Mechanical isolation
C. Prezygotic barriers to reproduction
D. High genetic variation in the species

Answer:

The correct answers would be natural selection and high genetic variation in the species.

Natural selection refers to the natural phenomenon by which organisms which are better adapted or have survival traits tend to survive and reproduce more in the environment.

It leads to an increase in the frequency of the trait in a population.

Genetic variation refers to the sum total of all the genetic characteristics present in a population. Higher genetic diversity higher are the chances of a population to survive.  

Similarly, different sizes of the beaks are the result of high genetic diversity out of which large size beak was favored by natural selection.  

Ultimately, the large beak size trait spreads through the population.

AysviL [449]
The all or nothing law of action potentials mainly talks about how the axons in the neurons only fire when there is enough action potential to fire. If there is not enough action potential, then the neuron will not be able to send signals because the action potential does not fire because of the deficit.

Without adding specific regulatory proteins, how might you stimulate transcription from the gene of interest relative to the tra
german

Answer:

By transfecting small activating RNAs

Explanation:

Small activating RNAs (saRNAs) are an emerging class of non-coding RNAs (ncRNAs) that are capable of activating gene expression at transcriptional level. The saRNAs are small double-stranded RNAs (dsRNAs) that bind to promoter sequences in order to activate the expression of target genes. These molecules are structurally similar to small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), i.e., they also have a size of 21 nucleotides and two overhang nucleotides at the 3' end of both strands.

One of the questions early geneticists had to answer was how only four nucleotides can specify placement of 20 amino acids in pr
jenyasd209 [6]

Answer:

<h2>Codon </h2>

Explanation:

The sequence of DNA is transcribed into mRNA, containing the sequence  for protein synthesis, protein is synthesized according to the codons in mRNA.  This sequence of nucleotide on DNA/ RNA is divided into a series of three nucleotide units, and one unit of three nucleotide is  known as codons.

There are overall 64 codons, 61 codons out of 64 codons, codes for overall 20  amino acids, and the remaining three  are stop codons.

These there codon do not code for any amino acid.

And these 61 codons, they  code for total 20 amino acids. So one amino acid can be coded by one or more than one codons.
