leonid [27]3 years ago
4 0

If two homozygous plants with contrasting traits are crossed, the expected genotypes for the offspring will be heterozygous. The dominant trait would be expressed, but they'd be carriers for the recessive trait.

What happens right before transcription begins?
Ahat [919]
Transcription is the transfer of genetic information from DNA to RNA, and it happens in the nucleus.  We can automatically rule out B.  B is incorrect because it doesn't make sense; how can a process stop before it even begins?

A.  I believe this is incorrect because mRNA is involved when the genetic information needs to leave the nucleus.  mRNA would take it to a ribosome outside of a nucleus.  Since transcription happens in the nucleus, mRNA is irrelevant before it starts.

C.  This doesn't really make sense.  mRNA carries information from the DNA, but not vice versa (in these early stages).

D.  This would make the most sense, since RNA polymerase needs to attach to the promoter on the strand before transcription can begin.

Which of the following clades is most likely to survive a series of catastrophic events over time? (1 point)
marishachu [46]
The correct options are as follows:
1. D.
<span>A clade refers to a group of organisms that are made up of evolutionary descendants that originated from a common ancestor. A clade that will survive a series of catastrophic events must be one that is made up of distantly related and diverse species. This is because, those species will have different type of adaptability capacity and will be able to adapt in different ways to the catastrophic events. Due to the differences in their ability to adapt, some of the specie will survive the catastrophic events even if others are wipe out.

2. B.
The mass extinction of one specie usually creates space for another new specie to survive. The new specie that survive the old one may possess the ability to adapt to the event that wipe out the former set of living organisms and thus, the new specie will be able to occupy and reproduce in their new space. Mass extinction is said to occur when the whole population of living organism living in an ecosystem are wipe out as a result of unfavorable conditions.

3. B.
Convergent evolution refers to the independent evolution of similar features in species that arise from different lineages. The species involved usually evolve these traits as a result of having to adapt to similar environments. Convergent evolution usually result in evolution of analogous structures, that is, structures that have similar forms or functions but which are not present in the last common ancestors of the species.

4. C.
 In evolution, gradualism refers to theory that states that evolution occurs slowly and gradually, thus, large changes in evolution are actually product of small changes that occur over a long period of time. The theory of gradualism was originally proposed by James Hutton in 1795.

 5. C.
Mass extinction refers to the wiping out of a a large number of species within a very short time. Mass extinction can occur as a result of severe unfavorable conditions that all the species in an ecosystem can not adapt to. An instance of this is a drastic decrease in global temperature after several massive volcanic eruptions.</span>
