Different organisms have different numbers of different types of amino acids. d. A gene from an organism can theoretically be expressed by any other organism. e. All organisms have experienced convergent evolution.

Answer:

d. A gene from an organism can theoretically be expressed by any other organism.

Explanation:

If we talk about genetic code, it comprises the rules through which genetic material of an organism like RNA or DNA is changed into a functional protein through the process of translation.

Every gene is composed of sequence of nucleotide in set of three called codon. Each codon codes for one amino acid for example CCT codes for Proline.

So, coming to the the question that based on the uniformity of genetic code we can conclude that is a genetic codon codes for one amino acid in one organism like human, without any doubt the same genetic codon will code for same amino acid in any other organism like monkey. why? Again because codon is universal.

So based on these facts the best option that can be concluded is A gene from an organism can theoretically be expressed by any other organism.

Hope it helps!

Biology students use raw eggs an experiment on tonicity and osmosis. students put their eggs into vinegar to remove the shelves.
8_murik_8 [283]

The vinegar removed only the shell of the egg because it was acidic. But it was unable to mess with the egg, because as it removed the shell of the egg, it was unable to get past the sac, the part that protects the inner egg. It is hard to puncture this sac, unless dropped or punctured by a nail or something hard.

I hope this helps. If you have any other questions, about this or any other question, just ask. I am here to help you. As needed.

Read each example and identify it with one of the mechanisms that influence gene pools. A zebra migrates to join a different her
tatiyna

Answer: The correct answer for the given mechanisms influencing gene pool are the mechanisms of evolutionary change, which are described as follows-

1) Gene Flow

- It is described as the transfer of genes from one population to another population so that frequency of gene is increased.

-A zebra migrates to join a different herd of zebras.

2) Natural Selection

- A mechanism of evolutionary change in which individuals with advantageous traits survive and reproduce whereas the others ( those that can not adapt) eliminate from the population.

-Competition for sunlight leads to taller trees.

3) Mutation

- Permanent change in the nucleotide sequence of DNA ( genetic material) that could have harmful or useful consequences.

-The DNA of a snake changes to make its venom stronger.

4) Genetic Drift - It is a random phenomenon ( that occurs by chance such as fire) that results in change in the gene frequency in a small population.    

-A grassfire randomly sweeps through a population of buffalo and kills most of the animals.

Taking carbon from the carbon dioxide in the air (called an inorganic molecule) and attaching the carbon to an organic molecule
natita [175]

Answer:

Carbon fixation and Rubisco enzyme

Explanation:

The carbon fixation is usually referred to as the process that involves the transformation of CO₂ into organic molecules. This process occurs during the time of photosynthesis, where, the CO₂ is obtained from the atmosphere by the leaves of plants in the presence of sunlight and converts it into useful organic molecules. This is also known as the Calvin cycle, in which all the consumers are dependent on.

Rubisco is usually defined as an enzyme that is secreted by the plants and it is essential to carry out the initial step for the carbon fixation process. It is commonly written as 'RuBisCO'.
