A scientist puts mRNA nucleotide chains that contain only Uracil (U) in a test tube. That test tube allows protein synthesis to

be initiated. After a short time, the scientist finds that the test tube is full of chains of the amino acid phenylalanine. Only phenylalanine is present and no other amino acid is observed. What does this experiment demonstrate?

An amino acid can be formed by combining 3 nucleobases. In the test, the only nucleobase the mRNA is uracil. That means the possible combination of the nucleobase should be only UUU. Since there is only 1 possible combination, there should be 1 possible amino acid that can be formed.
<span>Phenylalanine should have UUU codon.</span>

Which of the following is not a way that sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity?
cricket20 [7]

Answer:

Combined parenting leads to faster reproduction

Explanation:

Genetic diversity or variations in the physical appearance of organisms is caused by genetic or environmental factors. Reproduction brings about variation through gamete formation, fertilization and mutations.

During prophase 1 of meiosis, homologous chromosomes pair to form bivalents. The crossing over at the chiasmata results in new gene combination and variations.

Fertilization permits parental genes to be brought together. This causes variations in members of the same family.

Mutation is the spontaneous change in genetic make-up. These changes may be inherited by offspring bringing variations. However, combining parenting does not increase genetic diversity.

The red-legged frog breeds in ephemeral ponds from January through March. Its relative, the bullfrog, breeds in permanent ponds
LekaFEV [45]

The red-legged frog breeds in ephemeral ponds from January through March. Its relative, the bullfrog, breeds in permanent ponds from late March through May. There are two pre-mating isolation mechanism at play here,

1. Ecological isolation: The habitats are different, hence the individuals of both the species do not meet. Ephemeral ponds are temporary ponds that develop during rainy days, while the permanent ponds are full of water throughout the year.

2. Temporal isolation: The time of mating is different for both the species to avoid contact between the individuals of closely related species. Red-legged frogs mate in January to March slot and the bullfrog in the March to May slot.
