This is because these characteristics normally have a low survival value for the species. Natural selection is a process that causes heritable traits that are helpful for survival and reproduction to become more common, and more harmful traits to become rare. This occurs because organisms with advantageous traits pass on more of these heritable traits to the next generation.
Answer:
This question lacks options, options are: A) DNA replication is semiconservative. B) DNA replication is conservative. C) RNA synthesis is conservative. D) DNA replication is not conservative. The correct answer is A.
Explanation:
Watson and Crick proposed the semi-conservative hypothesis (later demonstrated by Meselson and Stahl in 1957), according to which new DNA molecules formed from an old one have an old and a new strand. This replication model assumed that the double helix DNA separates its two strands and each one serves as a template to synthesize a new strand following the complementary rules of nitrogenous bases. This model was called Semiconservative, since the two newly synthesized double helices have an old strand (an old half) and a new strand (a new half).
Answer:
Enzymes are biological catalysts which speed up biochemical reactions.
Molecular clocks use rates of mutation to measure evolutionary time.Mutations add up at a fairly constant rate in the DNA of species that evolved from a common ancestor. The more mutations that happened in each lineage, the greater is the differences between these lineages.
