Why did scientists eventually choose to support darwin's ideas about natural selection as a mechanism behind evolution rather th

an continue to support lamarck's ideas about how evolution occurred? natural selection appeared to happen somewhat more often than inheritance of acquired characteristics. natural selection became popular because it was more controversial than lamarck's ideas. natural selection was a new idea and gave them something different to investigate. natural selection provided a better explanation for what they observed in the natural world?

The correct answer is D. The theory of natural selection provided a better explanation of the processes that were being observed by the scientists.They observed that the related species birds found on one island were slightly different from that of the other, and certain portions earth, have the species, which were not found anywhere else.

4. A polypeptide has the following amino acid sequence: Met-Ser-Pro-Arg-Leu-Glu-Gly In the mutant below, indicate the type of mu
MatroZZZ [7]

Answer:

4. c. Deletion/ frameshift mutation

5. a. Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly

6. A frameshift occurred which altered the identity of the amino acids following the initiator 6. methionine, but not the length of protein Q.

Explanation:

4)

A single base pair at the first position of the Arg codon i.e. CGA has been deleted. Due to the deletion, the reading frame has shifted one nucleotide backwards, altering the amino acid sequence of the protein.

5)

The genomic DNA sequence is 5'-ATG ATA CTA AGG CCC-3'. Therefore, the complementary mRNA will be 5'-UAC UAU GAU UCC GGG-3'. According to the genetic code, this mRNA sequence encodes the following amino acid sequence: Tyr Tyr Asp Ser Gly

6)

The wild type DNA sequence is:

5'-ACUGUAAUGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'

The mutant i.e. mRNA with the added G will be

5' ACUGUAAUGGGAGUCAGAUGAUGCAUUAAGGAGAAAUUGAAAUAAA-3'  

This is a single base pair insertion and frameshift mutation that shifts the reading frame one base pair forwards. The codon that was originally GAG coding for glutamic acid (Glu) gets converted to GGA that codes for glycine. Therefore, the amino acid sequence has been altered but the polypeptide chain will still have 13 amino acids.

adoni [48]

Answer:

Transcription factors

What kind of exercise should you do during a warm-up?
vitfil [10]
<span>If jogging you should start off with a brisk walk and transition after about 1 minute to a slow jog. Then pick up your pace as your legs become warm with increased blood flow. If biking you should do a few static calf and thigh stretches but don't extend too far as muscles are cold. Then start off your cycling at a very slow comfortable pace. After about a minute you can start to slowly increase your pace until you reach your goal.</span>
