Natural selection causes A. changes in allele frequencies within a population. B. changes in the mechanism of inheritance. C. th
wolverine [178]

Answer:

Natural selection causes change in allele frequencies within a population.          

So option A is correct one.

Explanation:

Natural selection generally  work  on an organism’s phenotype, or observable features. Phenotype is often largely a product of genotype (the alleles, or gene versions, the organism carries). When a phenotype produced by certain alleles helps organisms survive and reproduce better than their peers, natural selection can increase the frequency of the helpful alleles from one generation to the next – that is, it can cause microevolution.

Plasmodesmata can change in number, and when dilated can provide a passageway for A. macromolecules B. ribosomes C. chloroplasts
skelet666 [1.2K]

Plasmodesmata can change in number, and when dilated can provide a passageway macromolecules

Plasmodesmata are essential for the intercellular transfer of both big informational macromolecules like proteins and smaller signaling chemicals in plant cells.

  • Plasmodesmata are membrane-lined structures that offer a high-conductance, aqueous channel for the transportation of information in the form of chemicals and macromolecules, such as transcription factors, from cell to cell.
  • The intimate interaction of the plasma membrane with the endoplasmic reticulum results in the formation of plasmodesmata.
  • The degree to which a particular cell acts as an individual or as a component of the entire organism is determined by the distribution and unitary conductance of plasmodesmata as well as other positional variables that affect development.

Are genes one-dimensional or 3-dimensional
yKpoI14uk [10]

Answer:

<em>Genes are one dimensional.</em>

Explanation:

The genes are made up of segments of DNA. The DNA has a three dimensional structure as coiling and super-coiling occurs in it to give it a three dimensional structure. But genes itself are one- dimensional. Genes are the hereditary molecules.  

The genes makes particular proteins. Proteins also have three dimensional structure as they undergo coiling and super-coiling.
