Answer: The correct answer for the given mechanisms influencing gene pool are the mechanisms of evolutionary change, which are described as follows-
1) Gene Flow
- It is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.
-A zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.
2) Natural Selection
- A mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.
-Competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.
3) Mutation
- Permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.
-The DNA of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.
4) Genetic Drift - It is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.
-A grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.
Cellulose is one of the most abundant natural biopolymers. The cell walls of plants are mostly made of cellulose, which provides structural support to the cell. Wood and paper are mostly cellulosic in nature. Cellulose is made up of glucose monomers that are linked by bonds between particular carbon atoms in the glucose molecule.
Every other glucose monomer in cellulose is flipped over and packed tightly as extended long chains. This gives cellulose its rigidity and high tensile strength—which is so important to plant cells. Cellulose passing through our digestive system is called dietary fiber. While the glucose-glucose bonds in cellulose cannot be broken down by human digestive enzymes, herbivores such as cows, buffalos, and horses are able to digest grass that is rich in cellulose and use it as a food source. In these animals, certain species of bacteria reside in the rumen (part of the digestive system of herbivores) and secrete the enzyme cellulase. The appendix also contains bacteria that break down cellulose, giving it an important role in the digestive systems of ruminants. Cellulases can break down cellulose into glucose monomers that can be used as an energy source by the animal.
arsenic
Nitrogen group element, any of the chemical elements that constitute Group 15 (Va) of the periodic table. The group consists of nitrogen (N), phosphorus (P), arsenic (As), antimony (Sb), bismuth (Bi), and moscovium (Mc).
