What explanation does science give about how the mouflon found on an island in the indian ocean were able to maintain their gene

tic diversity under extraordinary circumstances?

According to Dr. David Coltman, the models of the genetic drift predict that the genetic diversity of the Mouflon should have been lost with time. However, the genetic diversity of the species has been maintained as natural selection is more essential to the evolutionary procedure than is considered generally.  

The extreme conditions of the island are considered to have inhibited genetic drift, due to this premium advantage, the more genetically diverse mouflon on the island hold over their less genetically diverse counterparts.

Where do our memories get stored and how are they retrieved again? How can learning be improved? What is the difference between
Margarita [4]

Answer:

Memories aren't just stored in one part of our brains. Different parts are stored in different brain regions, but the hippocampus is memories are formed and later accessed.  

Learning can be improved by paying attention when learning something new so that you can take in the knowledge.

Explicit memories are conscious and can be verbally explained, however, implicit memories are usually nonconscious and are not verbally articulated.

Explanation: I'm sorry but I don't know the answer to your last question, so I hope you figure out the answer to that one...........also hope this at least helps you out somewhat:)

DNA Polymerase helps copy a DNA molecule during the process of what?
PtichkaEL [24]
The DNA polymerases are enzymes that create DNA molecules by assembling nucleotides, the building blocks of DNA. These enzymes are essential to DNA replication and usually work in pairs to create two identical DNA strands from one original DNA molecule. During this process, DNA polymerase “reads” the existing DNA strands to create two new strands that match the existing ones.

Every time a cell divides, DNA polymerase is required to help duplicate the cell’s DNA, so that a copy of the original DNA molecule can be passed to each of the daughter cells. In this way, genetic information is transmitted from generation to generation.

Before replication can take place, an enzyme called helicase unwinds the DNA molecule from its tightly woven form. This opens up or “unzips” the double stranded DNA to give two single strands of DNA that can be used as templates for replication.

DNA polymerase adds new free nucleotides to the 3’ end of the newly-forming strand, elongating it in a 5’ to 3’ direction. However, DNA polymerase cannot begin the formation of this new chain on its own and can only add nucleotides to a pre-existing 3'-OH group. A primer is therefore needed, at which nucleotides can be added. Primers are usually composed of RNA and DNA bases and the first two bases are always RNA. These primers are made by another enzyme called primase.

Although the function of DNA polymerase is highly accurate, a mistake is made for about one in every billion base pairs copied. The DNA is therefore “proofread” by DNA polymerase after it has been copied so that misplaced base pairs can be corrected. This preserves the integrity of the original DNA strand that is passed onto the daughter cells.

Structure of DNA polymerase

The structure of DNA polymerase is highly conserved, meaning their catalytic subunits vary very little from one species to another, irrespective of how their domains are structured. This highly conserved structure usually indicates that the cellular functions they perform are crucial and irreplaceable and therefore require rigid maintenance to ensure their evolutionary advantage.

Is grass a living thing
pav-90 [236]

why yes it is

my proof : Plants are living because they grow, take in nutrients and reproduce. Trees, bushes, a cactus, flowers and grass are examples of plants. Plants are also living things. Plants are living because they grow, take in nutrients and reproduce.

FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

Enzymes are proteins that allow certain chemical reactions to take place much quicker than the reactions would occur on their own.

Explanation:

Enzymes function as catalysts, which means that they speed up the rate at which metabolic processes and reactions occur in living organisms.
