The correct answer is A. Is that which benefits others while causing a disadvantage to the individual.

Explanation:

In biology, altruistic behavior occurs as one organism actions benefit other organisms either because these actions increase the reproductive fitness or the chances an organism survives and prevails over time. Additionally, altruistic behavior implies there is a disadvantage for the organisms acting in the benefit of others. For example, wolves or similar animals take food to those that did not participate in hunting, which means they help other wolves to survive on their own cost as this means less food for those that hunted. According to this, altruistic behavior "is that which benefits others while causing a disadvantage to the individual".

olganol [36]

Too much logging in the oyamel fir forests could lead to the eastern monarch butterfly going extinct because <u>the entire population of the species spends winter in oyamel fir forests.</u>

<u>Why it is the correct option:</u>

a. The oyamel fir forests serve as the winter home for the eastern monarch butterflies. The entire population of monarch butterflies moves to oyamel fir forests in Mexico during winters to protect themselves from the freezing cold temperatures of their natural, breeding habitat. So, too much logging of the oyamel fir trees will destroy the winter habitat of these butterflies, and hence will lead to the decline in their population.

<u>Why the other options are incorrect:</u>

b. the butterflies breed in the oyamel fir trees is an incorrect option because the monarch butterflies breed in their natural habitats in the US.

c. the winters are too cold in oyamel is an incorrect option because these butterflies move to oyamel forests to protect themselves from cold.

d. the butterflies feed on the oyamel fir trees is an incorrect option because the monarch butterflies feed on milkweed.

Is the binding of a transcription factor to its dna recognition sequence necessary and sufficient for an initiation of transcrip
hram777 [196]

Transcription factors are necessary for an initiation of transcription at a regulated gene but not sufficient.

Transcription is the first step of gene expression in which DNA molecule is copied (transcribed) into RNA (mRNA) by RNA polymerase. The process of transcription is divided into three phases:

1. Initiation

• RNA polymerase with transcriptional factors bind to gene promoter Transcription factors can enhance the interaction between RNA polymerase and a DNA sequence- promoter, encouraging the expression of the gene. Such transcription factors are called activators. Otherwise, when the gene expression is inhibited, factors are called repressors and they bind to sequence –operator.

• RNA polymerase unwinds DNA double helix (transcription bubble is formed)

2. Elongation

• RNA polymerases adds nucleotides complementary to DNA  

3. Termination

• RNA polymerase gets to stop codon (transcribes a sequence of DNA known as a terminator)

• Formed complementary RNA strand is released from DNA-RNA complex

shepuryov [24]

Answer:

end of cytokinesis

Explanation:

Telophase is the last stage of cell division. It ends with cytokinesis which is the splitting of the mother cells into two daughter cells. The cell pinches in the equator region with the help of a ring of contractile protein filaments. The formed cleavage furrow grows until the two cells pinch off completely.
