Given a population that contains genetic variation, what is the correct sequence of the following events under the influence of
GuDViN [60]

Answer:

2. A change occurs in the environment.

4. Poorly adapted individuals have decreased survivorship.

1. Well-adapted individuals leave more offspring than do poorly adapted individuals.

3. Genetic frequencies within the population change.

Explanation:

The natural selection theory was developed by Darwin to explain how evolution occur within a population. The environment is in constant state of changes and always select for organisms that are better adapted to it.

Poorly adapted organisms gradually reduce from the population as a result of decreased survival while well-adapted individuals multiply and contribute more to successive generation.

Well-adapted individuals pass on the adaptive alleles to their offspring, eventually leading to a change in gene frequencies within the population.

Hence, the sequence of events is 2, 4, 1 and 3.

What role does the MutL protein play in DNA repair? (5 POINTS) It performs a proofreading function, similar to DNA polymerase, a
Zinaida [17]

Answer:

It recognizes and binds to a pair of "mismatched" nucleotides, preventing their translation.

Explanation:

Mut L protein is involved in mismatch DNA repair. MutL protein is complexed with MutS protein and the MutL-MutS complex recognizes all the mismatched base pairs present in the newly formed DNA strand. The complex can not recognize the "C-C" pairs. MutH protein joins the complex.

The MutH protein also has a site-specific endonuclease activity and cleaves the unmethylated DNA strand towards the 5' end of the guanine base in the GATC sequence to mark the strand for DNA repair. In this way, MutL protein, along with MutS and MutH proteins mark the mismatched DNA bases for repair so that they are not translated into a faulty protein.

TCTCG and AGAGC are the perfect pair.

Option A

<h3><u>Explanation:</u></h3>

DNA is the genetic molecule of a living cell. The DNA stores genetic information of the species inside itself by means of particular pattern or sequence of nitrogen bases called as gene. The gene is comprised of the particular sequence of nitrogenous bases which are four in number - adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine.

The nitrogen bases are present in both the strands of DNA and they have complementary relationship between them. The adenine forms hydrogen bonds with thymine and guanine pairs with cytosine.

Here the sequence of one strand is given as TCTCG. So according to the complementary pairing process, the opposite strand must have the sequence of AGAGC to maintain the structure.
