Answer:

Reduction of iron to prevent oxidation.

Explanation:

Bacteria has several mechanisms to protect the enzyme nitrogenase, one of them involves the increase of their metabolism to reduce the oxygen availability.  

Besides this mechanism, there is also a conformational protection. This involves an interaction with FeSII protein, a ferredoxin. This protein is found as a homodimer that contains a 2[Fe-S] cluster, so reduction of Fe is not one of the mechanisms.

How does cellular information pass from one generation to the next? Include meiosis in your answer.
JulsSmile [24]

Meiosis in reproductive organs (testes and ovary) produce gametes. Each human cell including reproductive cells contains 23 pair of chromosomes. Meiosis separates the two chromosomes from each pair thus, each gamete receives only one copy of each chromosome. Therefore, each gamete has 23 new chromosomes, one from each of the 23 pairs. During meiosis, exchange of chromosome segment between copies of a pair of chromosomes. The exchange of chromosome segments creates new combinations of genes which enhances genetic variability within a species.

According to Darwin’s On the Origin of Species, what four factors affect evolution? Explain how each factor affects evolution.
Kryger [21]

The 4 factors affect evolution, according to Darwin’s Origin of Species are;

Variation

Heritability

Competition

Differential survival

Variation ensures that there is variability of population traits on which selection pressures will apply.

Heritability means that the traits must be able to be passed down to offsprings through gametes.

Competition occurs when the individuals in the population compete for limited resources

Differential survival occurs due to competition for resources and other selection pressures. This result to the survival of the strongest and weeding out of the weak from the population.
