Answer:

b. Gene flow

Explanation:

Gene flow also know as gene migration is the migration or movement of genetic material from one population to another. When a particular gene is introduced from one population to another it causes a genetic variation in the receiving population, hence altering the allele frequencies of the population.

In other words, when the allele frequency between the resident population and migrating population is greater and the migrating population is larger in number than the resident population, the effect on the composition of gene pool of the receiving population will be greater.

Take for instance, the lion that is thrown out of its group would migrate to another group, reproduce and produce cubs with a portion of their own genetic material.

How would a mistake in transcribing the DNA message affect your ability to catch the killer?
mel-nik [20]

Answer: When the DNA collected on the crime scene is being analysed in the forensic lab, the results will be inconclusive, because error in DNA transcription, particularly in mRNA encoding leads to inheritable phenotype change by reprogramming the transcriptional network, without changing the DNA. Transcription errors are brief with no long-term consequences. Due to mRNA being short-lived and the erroneous proteins are degraded. A decrease in transcription accuracy triggers cellular identity change.

Explanation: This is called epimutation, a heritable modification that results in the change of gene expression, but not the DNA sequence. Epimutation is not associated with DNA mutation, but is associated with the loss or gain of DNA methylation or other heritable changes of the chromatin.

Which adaptation helps polar bears maintain a constant internal temperature (thermal homeostasis) in cold weather? three layers
lubasha [3.4K]

Answer:

The polar bear is an animal which is prevalent in the arctic region of the world which is characterized by very cold icy climate.

They adapt to these climatic conditions by maintaining a body temperature of 37°C through its thick fur and tough skin. It also has an insulating fat layer (adipose tissues) which is very thick.

This insulation helps in keeping the animal very warm in extreme temperatures.
