Explain the specific mechanisms that have allowed for diversity in organisms
kirill115 [55]

There are five mechanisms involve in diversity of organisms:

genetic drift, mutation, natural selection, gene flow and non random mating.

Explanation:

Genetic drift: It is a mechanism in which frequency of the allele changes within a population due to random sampling. It causes decrease in diversity in organism and can result in new species.

Mutation: Mutation in the genes is the most important reason of diversity.the change in DNA causes introduction of new alleles. Harmful mutations do not le species evolve by delimiting them from reaching sexual maturity.

Gene flow: The allele flow happens when a new gene is introduced into a population either by immigration or random mating. when two populations of same species share genes, variation occurs.

Natural selection: The favourable traits for survival are transferred to the offspring. It allows them to adapt better to the environment.  It allows maintenance diversity of organism.

Non random mating: The mating between the individual with varied genotype will result in genetic variation.

What are the punnet squares really used for and do they work 
podryga [215]
Punnett squares are used to find out the possible genotypes of the next generation after a cross and thus find the phenotype too according to the predicted genotypes.

For example, parents with genotypes of Rr and rr cross together, we can use the punnett square to list out the possible genotypes of their children which are Rr and rr.

You can never predict the exact genotypes of the next child but you can find out the possibility if they carry a certain trait. All the genotypes of the child are in random but you at least know what phenotypes they'll have.

lawyer [7]

Mutations induced by UV.

The answer is option A.

They have a defect of their "curly gene," that's on the second chromosome. Having curled wings is a dominant mutation, this means that only one copy of the gene must be altered to supply the disorder. In reality, if both copies are mutated, the flies do not continue to exist.

Geneticists have lengthily counseled that mutations in insect pigment genes reason for modifications in the fly's brain because these pigments are crafted from dopamine, a chemical messenger that acts in the brain.

Thru those early experiments, he located that every one of the white-eyed flies being produced was a man, there were no white-eyed women in any respect. Inheritance of the white-eye trait might have a basis within the chromosomes, greater, in particular, the sex chromosomes.

What is the purpose of atp in both cellular respiration and photosynthesis?
Stells [14]

Answer:

Aids energy transfer from a molecule to another

Explanation:

ATP aids energy coupling, combining exergonic reactions to endergonic reactions. In PHOTOSYNTHESIS, ATP is produced in the light reactions for Calvin cycle to produce sugar. In CELLULAR RESPIRATION, sugar undergoes oxidized to produce ATP needed to energize cellular metabolism (ATP is the energy currency of the cell).

ATP is a major source of energy for each and every biological process. In PHOTOSYNTHESIS energy is changed to ATP in the light-dependent phase which is used for synthesis in the dark phase.

ATP is a needed in RESPIRATION. ATP is the energy currency of the cells, sometimes called the “molecular currency” of energy distribution.

Four liquids were poured on top of each other in a glass, and the liquids separated into four different layers. Which liquid had
jekas [21]

Answer:

The answer is B

Explanation:

More dense liquids will want to flow further down. They have a higher weight per volume, allowing them to "Push past" the other liquids. Italian Dressing is a great example (when given time, the oil will be at the top because it is less dense then the water and other seasonings.
