Explain how mutation drives evolution to occur

Biology

Dafna11 [192]3 years ago

Explanation:

Mutations occur at random. Mutations lead to the translation of slightly different proteins, due to the changes in DNA, hence influencing phenotypes. Mutations can, therefore, confer advantage or disadvantage to individuals in a population bearing it. Those mutations that confer an advantage in the environment in the struggle for resources or escaping predation are preserved by natural selection. Those that confer disadvantage are ‘weeded’ out. Mutations act as a base on which natural selection pressures can act on. A population, therefore, will evolve to changes in its environment through mutations and natural selection pressures.

Answer AND Explanation:

The variations that Darwin regarded as raw materials for the process of evolution have been traced to changes that occur at the gene level or the chromosome and these changes are called mutations. Organisms with beneficial mutations are able to pass them on to their offspring during reproduction. Transmission of such mutations through many generations could lead to the emergence of new species. The emergence of new species requires a long time and is also affected by the rate of mutations that a particular species undergoes. This leads to evolution.

You discover a population of mustard plants and find it to be at Hardy–Weinberg equilibrium with respect to the R locus. Suppose
natulia [17]

Answer:

The fraction of heterozygous individuals in the population is 32/100 that equals 0.32 which is the genotipic proportion for these endividuals.

Explanation:

According to Hardy-Weinberg, the allelic frequencies in a locus are represented as p and q, referring to the alleles. The genotypic frequencies after one generation are p² (Homozygous for allele p), 2pq (Heterozygous), q² (Homozygous for the allele q). Populations in H-W equilibrium will get the same allelic frequencies generation after generation. The sum of these allelic frequencies equals 1, this is p + q = 1.

In the exposed example, the r-6 allelic frequency is 0,2. This means that if r-6=0.2, then the other allele frequency (R) is=0.8, and the sum of both the allelic frequencies equals one. This is:

p + q = 1

r-6 + R = 1  

0.2 + 0.8 = 1

Then, the genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals RR is 0.8 ² = 0.64

The genotypic proportion for the homozygous individuals r-6r-6 is 0.2² = 0.04

And the genotypic proportion for heterozygous individuals Rr-6 is 2xRxr-6 = 2 x 0.8 x 0.2 = 0.32

Example of commensalism in finding nemo
mestny [16]
A type of commensalism is the sea anemone and the clown fish. The definition of commensalism is where another species lives within another. (Usually this relationship is with animals, fungi, and plants.) No harm comes to either species. 

A clown fish lives in a sea anemone, and this doesn't hurt the anemone nor is the clownfish affected by its sting because of their oils that protect them.

If you didn't know, Nemo and his father, Marlin, lives in a sea anemone. A natural habitat of a clown fish.
