Enzymes are a type of protein that aid in which of the following processes?
- cellular signaling and regulation
- transport across the cell membrane
- the breakdown of food molecules
- all of these
I think you forgot the answer choices. Is this your question?
If so, it is <u>D) all of these. </u>Enzymes aid in all kinds of microbiological processes, including cellular signalization, regulation and transportation - in addition to the breakdown of nutrients.
Answer: False.
Genetic drift is a stochastic process that occurs randomly through time. It refers to random fluctuations in allele frequencies due to chance events (small population size).
Explanation: Factors that can affect genetic diversity are Genetic drift, mutation, selection, migration, non-random mating and recombination.
Of these factors, forces that majorly control the fate of genetic variation in populations are genetic drift and natural selection.
Genetic drift refers to random fluctuations in allele frequencies due to chance events (small population size).
Natural selection involves environmental conditions acting on wild plant or animal populations or species. Most fit in a selection refers to genotype or phenotype with greater average reproductive output over it's lifespan than other genotypes or phenotypes.
Answer:
The correct answer is "34".
Explanation:
The ant Myrmecia pilosula is a special case of sexual reproduction, where the females produce gamete cells with half the chromosomes of the somatic cells and the males are haploids that transmit the whole number of chromosomes in their gametes. Therefore, the somatic cells of the hybrid female offspring that results from the cross of a female ant with 48 chromosomes and a male with 10 chromosomes would have 34 chromosomes. This result from half the number of chromosomes of the female (24) plus the total number of chromosomes of the male (10).
Answer:
B
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genes across a generation as opposed to down generations in vertical gene transfer. Bacteria can transfer gene horizontally through mechanisms such as transformation and transduction. The ‘male’ bacteria develops pili that it inserts into the ‘female’ bacteria and transfers some genes. This result in recombinant DNA that confers some of the beneficial characteristics to the ‘female’ bacteria that were there in the ‘male’ bacteria. This is how a population of bacteria can develop resistance to an antibiotic really fast.
