Why did Barro Colorado Island (formed from a large hill during the flooding of the Panama Canal in 1914) have dozens of species

of butterflies go locally extinct on the island since its formation?
a. Per Island Biogeography predictions, small land area can support fewer butterfly species
b. Pesticide use on nearby banana plantations has had strong non-target impacts on numerous butterflies besides the pest moth that destroys banana crops
c. Habitat destruction on Barro Colorado Island has caused butterfly food plants to go extinct
d. Introduced parasitoid wasp species have caused native butterfly populations to go locally extinct

Answer:

The correct answer is option c.

Explanation:

In the Barro Colorado Island, the mentioned local population of the butterfly species went on to become extinct mainly due to the fragmentation of habitats and the loss of habitats. The host plant on which the butterflies fed could not grow and they started to decline in number and slowly became extinct. Due to this the species of the butterfly also would have got extinct because of the lack of food.

Which of the following sequences shows a frameshift mutation compared to the wild-type mRNA sequence?
Butoxors [25]

Option C:

B. wild-type 5-AUGCAUACAUUGGAGUGA-3 mutant 5'-AUGCAUACAUCUGGAGUGA- 3' 

Explanation:

A frameshift mutation is a genetic mutation such that the triplet nature of gene expression by codons, the insertion or deletion occurs in such as way that it alters the complete sequence of 3 codon sets and can change the reading frame, resulting in a completely different translation from the original.

As it is pertinent to understanding that all genes are normally translated in sets of 3 codons, which typically describes and explain a unique amino acid sequence. Thus, if a frame shift mutation occurs, it can affect many amino acid sequences and finally the entire protein.  

If we look at option B:

wild-type 5-AUG   CAU  ACA  UUG  GAG  UGA-3  

mutant 5’-    AUG   CAU  ACA  UCU  GGA  GUG  A-3’  

An insertion of a base Uracil showed at the end of 3rd codon which affected and altered the whole sequence of codon triplets. This changed all next codons and finally all next amino acids will be altered.
