It's infrequent, but our own nucleotide sequences can change as the result of spontaneous or environmental damage (which might r

emove or shift a nucleotide position). What does this change?
Select one:
a. It changes the gene involved, and can then change the protein.
b. It changes organisms into fundamentally different organisms.
c. We are not certain what happens. It's never been documented.
d. It changes nothing because of the almost infinite combinations of sequences.

The answer is A.

Nucleotide sequences are our genetic messages that allow cells to build proteins (aka polypeptides). When the sequence changes, the genetic code can be altered, and therefore the outcome of protein translation can be changed.

B is wrong because the gene change may not even affect the protein, and even if it does, it may not even have a measurable effect on the organism. And it's unlikely that one gene change will change an animal into a different animal. 

C is wrong because there's literally entire fields of genetic biology/microbiology dedicated to this subject. 

D is wrong because wtf does it even mean? And yes, change in your genetic code can have impact. It's more or less how cancer happens.

What economic issues should be considered during conservation?
olchik [2.2K]

Answer:

Hybridization may drive rare taxa to extinction through genetic swamping, where the rare form is replaced by hybrids, or by demographic swamping, where population growth rates are reduced due to the wasteful production of maladaptive hybrids. Conversely, hybridization may rescue the viability of small, inbred populations. Understanding the factors that contribute to destructive versus constructive outcomes of hybridization is key to managing conservation concerns. Here, we survey the literature for studies of hybridization and extinction to identify the ecological, evolutionary, and genetic factors that critically affect extinction risk through hybridization. We find that while extinction risk is highly situation dependent, genetic swamping is much more frequent than demographic swamping. In addition, human involvement is associated with increased risk and high reproductive isolation with reduced risk. Although climate change is predicted to increase the risk of hybridization‐induced extinction, we find little empirical support for this prediction. Similarly, theoretical and experimental studies imply that genetic rescue through hybridization may be equally or more probable than demographic swamping, but our literature survey failed to support this claim. We conclude that halting the introduction of hybridization‐prone exotics and restoring mature and diverse habitats that are resistant to hybrid establishment should be management priorities.
