hey span an area of approximately 100 square meters. You take some representatives from one corner of their distribution back to the lab, sequence their DNA, and conclude that they are also genetic clones (i.e. genetically identical). Based on this information, state whether the statements below are true or false.
Also, provide an explanation.

1a. True or False: This population can evolve by natural selection.

1b. True or False: This population can evolve by genetic drift.

Answer:

1a. False

1b. False

Explanation:

They are genetic clones which make them identical so there is no difference in phenotype which is the key mechanism for evolution to occur through natural selection.

- since they are of one phenotype(genetically identical) genetic drift can not occur. For genetic drift to occur, there must be a change in the frequency of one allele within a population over a period of time and this genetic variation must occur randomly for a genetic drift to occur.

In E. coli, there is a mutation in a gene called dnaB that alters the helicase that normally acts at the origin of replication.
kvasek [131]

Answer:

When helicase mutations occur, problems in DNA replication are found. The helicases are proteins that open the 2 strands of DNA to initiate the duplication, they are responsible for breaking the hydrogen bonds between the two DNA chains, thus separating the chains, also they have the function of repairing DNA mutations, if there is mutation in the gene that encodes them, various functions will be absent in the cell.

The graph shows the changing levels of hormones during menstruation and ovulation. What is the general trend for hormones after
rjkz [21]

The general trend for hormones after ovulation as an individual when it approaches menstruation is that hormone levels generally rise. This increase levels of estrogen and progesterone would cause a negative feedback to the hypothalamus and the pituitary, which would result in the decline of the FSH and LH. BTW: Not to be TMI but i started mine and there is nothing to be scared of.
