Answer:
Genetics is a branch of biology concerned with the study of genes, genetic variation, and heredity in organisms. Gregor Mendel, a scientist and Augustinian friar, discovered genetics in the late 19th-century. Mendel studied "trait inheritance", patterns in the way traits are handed down from parents to offspring.
Explanation:
ATP is energy in your cells
Answer:
1) Worldwide 70% of freshwater is used for agriculture.
2) Water scarcity is the lack of sufficient available water resources to meet the demands of water usage within the region.
3) Water scarcity can be fixed by developing water filtration systems, promoting water stewardship, protecting wetlands, improving irrigation efficiency, and increasing water storage in reservoirs.
4) bottled water is meant 100% for human consumption, this is one of the most important and efficient uses of water considering tap water is only used for human consumption 2% of the time due to the waters sanitation
Answers:
- The sequence encodes a gene that is critical for life and cannot be easily mutated while retaining function.
- The sequence is contained in a retrovirus that has infected both species.
1- Explanation:
6.8 million years is a considerable period of time and if the cats were evolved in two different specie then technically they should have substantially different sequences of gene. However, there are some genes that are critical for the survival of the organisms because they encode a function which is equally important for the organisms of a certain category, even if they are different specie.
For example, the essential genes that are involved in maintenance of metabolism, initiation of replication or translation of genes. Therefore, with the period of time, the mutation of even a single nucleotide can be lethal for these genes, and if it happens organism will simply die. So, if one organisms is died that cannot take part in the process of evolution and would clearly be cut off from the process, However, those who survive can undergo some other mutations and become separate specie.
2- Explanation:
A retro virus inserts itself in to the genome of host organisms and become a part of them. It is very difficult to detect the presence of the retro virus until the organism undergoes infection due to its attack. Cats are a favorable host for retroviruses - called lentiviruses which attack the cats to cause a critical syndrome Feline Immunodeficiency Virus or FIV. Therefore, it is possible that same retrovirus having a particular sequence has attacked both cats and the sequences were taken from those cats.
Hope it help!
