Answer;

-Disruptive selection

Disruptive selection results in the creation of two distinct phenotypes.

Explanation;

-Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that selects against the average individual in a population. The make up of this type of population would show phenotypes of both extremes but have very few individuals in the middle.

-The variance of the trait increases and the population is divided into two distinct groups. The disruptive selection will cause organisms with intermediate traits to reproduce less, and will allow those organisms with extreme traits to reproduce more.

Explain the difference between homology and analogy using a wolf, a whale, and a shark:
allochka39001 [22]

Answer:

Explanation:

Analogy refers to traits or structures like body shapes, fins which evolved independently that are similar in organisms that are not related by the same common ancestor. For example dolphins and shark have similar body structures like fins but they are unrelated. Whale and shark too. Whales are mammals, sharks are fish.

Homology refers to traits or structures

posses by organisms that are related by common ancestors. Example wolf and whales.....they are both mammals.

Identify the true statements about RNA interference. Duplex RNA (dsRNA) can suppress the expression of a gene. miRNAs are short,
AlekseyPX

Answer:

- Duplex RNA (dsRNA) can suppress the expression of a gene.

- miRNAs are short, single strands approximately 21 nucleotides long.  

- miRNAs suppress gene expression by interfering with transcription.  

- RNA interference can temporarily suppress the expression of a target gene.

Explanation:

The RNA interference (RNAi) mechanism is a naturally occurring biological process by which an organism suppresses gene expression by using sequence-specific small non-coding RNAs that are complementary to RNA (posttranscriptional silencing) or DNA (transcriptional silencing) sequences. Since its discovery, this mechanism has been exploited in molecular biology to control the expression of target genes. There are different classes of non-coding RNAs which are able to trigger RNAi gene silencing: microRNAs (miRNAs), small interfering RNAs (siRNAs), piwi-interacting RNAs (piRNAs, only present in animals), etc. During their functioning, these non-coding RNAs are loaded into the RNA-induced silencing complex (RISC) to direct them to target sequences and trigger RNAi (for example, by cleaving target mRNAs). miRNAs are short, evolutionary conserved RNAs, that associate to the RISC complex in order to trigger both transcriptional and posttranscriptional gene silencing. During their biogenesis, small non-coding RNAs are double-stranded RNA (dsRNA), but they lose a strand (the passenger strand) when associate with the RISC complex, conserving only one strand (the guide strand) that bind by complementary base pairing to target sequences (either DNA in the nucleus or RNA in the cytoplasm).

In the central dogma, the rna-to-protein step is termed.
Zarrin [17]

Answer:

translation

Explanation:

a process called translation uses this mRNA as a template for protein assembly. In fact, this flow of information from DNA to RNA and finally to protein is considered the central dogma of genetics, and it is the starting point for understanding the function of the genetic information in DNA.
