I need the choices provided to depict which is the better statement. <span />
It is called lock and key model. it theorize that enzymes and its substrate behave like a lock and key which fits into each other and does not fit into any other system(lock or key)
Answer:
It helps the plant retain water.
The waxy covering on plant leaves, young stems, and fruit is called the "cuticle". It is composed of cutin, a wax-like material produced by the plant that is chemically a hydroxy fatty acid. The purpose of this covering is to help the plant retain water.
Answer:
Speciation is defined as an evolutionary process in which one population evolves into a distinct species.
Speciation in reverse, or despeciation is defined as the extinction of an old species due to combining with evolved species to produce hybrid species but it conserves biological lineage.
In the given research, the term used despeciation or speciation in reverse is appropriate as hybrid species resulted from interbreeding of Galapagos two finch species conserved the biological lineage but also loss one of the species Darwin discovered.
Explanation:
-increases genetic variation
-increases the fitness of a species
Further Explanation:
All the genetic information within the eukaryotic cell is stored within the nucleus as helical DNA. This DNA is tightly wound around histones as chromosomes. To produce daughter cells during cell division, the chromosomes (total number of chromosomes (2n)) are copied before the cell splits into two daughter cells. This process is known as mitosis, and occurs in cell division and growth processes. Two new nuclei are formed, along with identical cells. These are the same as the parent cell and the chromosome number (2n) is maintained.
Conversely in meiosis, the number of chromosomes (2n) is halved through meiotic divisions, producing 4 (n) germ cells (sperm or eggs), each containing half the number of chromosomes as its parent cell. During the process of cell division, spontaneous changes within the genome can arise. These mutations are errors occur when copies of the DNA within the cell are made; mutations may range from small changes called single nucleotide polymorphisms, to large scale deletions, and additions which span multiple genes. There are two types:
- somatic: these only occur within certain cells, and arise from environmental factors such as UV light
- hereditary: occur within germ cells of the parent and later the fertilized egg which forms a zygote; these are present within all cells of the new organism.
Like other events, such as crossing over during mitosis and meiosis, mutations lead to increases in genetic variation. This variation refers to the genetic characteristics present within a species. Mutations are maintained within cells, as they form new traits called alleles, which may confer adaptations that increase the fitness of a species, along with ensuring survival by conferring a protective advantage
.
e.g. sickle cell anemia, a disease caused by a mutation, confers protection against the disease malaria.
