A classic example of selection in natural populations involves the peppered moth Biston betularia in England. Industrial gases k

illed the lichens and mosses on buildings, trees, etc., and soot deposited on the landscape. Dark-colored moths gained a selective advantage. In this case, one would say that there was selection against the light-colored moths. Which morph, light or dark, would have the highest fitness? (Enter light or dark in the box below.)

Answer:

Dark colored moth

Explanation:

Moths either dark or light live on the bark of the trees. During industrial revolution in England, excessive pollution caused the darkening of bark of trees. Due to this environmental change, some of the light colored moths evolved and turned into dark colored moths. Both bark and moth being dark in color, made the moths untraceable by their predators. While the light colored moths on dark trees were easily recognizable by their predators.

Hence, the dark colored moths possess high fitness.

Identify the structures a virus can contain.
Gemiola [76]

Answer:

The simplest virions consist of two basic components: nucleic acid (single- or double-stranded RNA or DNA) and a protein coat, the capsid, which functions as a shell to protect the viral genome from nucleases and which during infection attaches the virion to specific receptors exposed on the prospective host cell.

Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are joined into a continuous strand by _____.Short segments of newly synthesized DNA are
Sloan [31]

Answer:

a. Ligase

b. Ligase ( it's repeated)

Explanation:

DNA synthesis begins, therefore, by synthesizing a short segment of RNA called a primer, which primer is synthesized by an enzyme called Primasa. Primasa is an RNA polymerase that uses DNA as a template. All fragments of Okazaki begin with a Primer. Subsequently, the DNA polymerase III Holoenzyme performs the synthesis of the corresponding DNA fragment until it reaches the next primer. At that time, DNA polymerase Ia replaces the DNA polymerase Holoenzyme III. The DNA polymerase I is responsible for removing the RNA primer through its 5'P-3'OH exonueotic activity and at the same time fills the hole by synthesizing DNA.

Finally, the two Okazaki fragments have to be joined, it is necessary to link the 3'OH end of a fragment with the 5'P of the next fragment. This work of sealing and joining the successive fragments is done by Ligase.

Which type of reproduction results in offspring that are genetically different from the parents sexual or asexual
MariettaO [177]
<span>The answer is a sexual reproduction. This is due to the formation of gametes that enable the variation of the offspring of the parents. Firstly, each gamete contributes half the genetic material (alleles)from either parent. The dominant alleles will show in the phenotype of the c=ofspirng. Additionally, during meiosis (the process that makes gametes), recombination of genetic material can occur hence transferring unique combination of genes from that of the parent. Therefore, there are many possible combinations of gametes that gives the offspring variance from the parents</span>
