Explain the statement “Population,not individuals,evolve

1 answer:

4 0

What the statement is trying to tell you is that the individuals don't evolve but the population itself does. When the population is evolving, the ratio of different genetic types is changing. Populations evolve, the individuals are selected that is why the individuals dont evolve.

That is what the statement "Population, not individuals, evolve"

Hope this helped :)

Have a great day

Which of these gymnosperms are known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem?

CaHeK987 [17]

The correct answer is: [D]:

___________________________________________________

→ " redwood tree forests " .

___________________________________________________

Note: Let us consider the other answer choices.

___________________________________________________

Choice: [A]: "garden flowering plants" ; is incorrect — since these are not generally considered to be part of a true or traditional "ecosystem" ; and especially since "garden flowering plants" are, in fact, "flowering plants" — which means that they are "angiosperms" — Not "gymnosperms ".

→ Rule out: " Choice: [A] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice: [B]: " ferns and liverworts " ; is incorrect — since both ferns — as well as liverworts — are Not "gymnosperms ".

Liverworts are "bryophytes" {which lack true vascular tissue] ; and ferns are "pterophytes" ["seedless vascular plants"].

→ Rule out: " Choice: [B] " .

___________________________________________________

Choice: [C]: " mosses and horsetails "; is incorrect ; since both mosses — as well as horsetails — are Not "gymnosperms ". Mosses are "bryophytes" (see aforementioned) ; and horsetails are "non-seed bearing plants" that spread vegetatively [underground; by asexual reproduction — and Not by seed .].

→ Rule out: " Choice: [C] " .

__________________________________________________

Choice: [D]: " redwood tree forests " ;

— is the only answer choice provided that is a "gymnosperm".

Furthermore, the "redwood tree" is a conifer (i.e. "coniferous; or, "cone-bearing" plant} that reproduces through seeds spread by "cone") — and all "conifers" are a type of "gymnosperm."

Furthermore, "redwood trees" grow large and tall, and redwood forest communities within an ecosystem; due to there size and presence, are: "known to be important in maintaining the balance of carbon in an ecosystem."

__________________________________________________

→ As such, the correct answer is:

__________________________________________________

→ Answer choice: [D]: " redwood tree forests " .

A DNA fragment with the sticky end sequence TGGCA will bind with another DNA fragment with the sticky end sequence _____

klio [65]

Answer:

A DNA fragment with sticky end sequence TGGCA will bind with another DNA fragment with sticky end sequence ACCGT.

Explanation:

When a DNA strand is separated by the restriction endonuclease, it forms two separate single strands. These strands or cuts are known as sticky ends as they are detached from the complementary pairs.

These cuts of DNA are without complementary pairs and when they find suitable base pair, they get attached to it. These sticky ends are allowed to fix with the complementary base pairs during PCR/ polymerase chain reaction.

They are called sticky ends as they are ready to stick with the complementary base pairs of nucleotides.

the two sources of information used to direct the expression of genes durning various stages of development are

yan [13]

The two sources of information used to direct the expression of genes during various stages of development are Transcription and Translation.

<h3>Explanation:</h3>

Both of them combined is called gene expression.Transcription is the process of sharing information stored in a DNA to RNA. The process of translation is carried out in cytoplasm. Here, the mRNA, in which stands for messenger, send messages to a more complex and specialized molecule called the ribosome. The sequence present on the mRNA base is read by the ribosome.

Transcription takes place in nucleus and translation takes place in Cytoplasam. The products of transcription are mRNA, tRNA, rRNA. The products of translation are Proteins.
