A) <u>Mutation</u> is the original source of variations for plants and other organisms which develops differences among their respective species
Explanation:
Genetic variation leads to the natural differences between each individual and among individuals of a species. The main cause for this variation is due to alleles that cause variations in the composition of genes or the DNA sequences.
A mutation is a genetic variation which leads to the creation of a new allele in a species population. Each variation in the DNA sequence leads to an allele formation and each allele leads to a difference in character or trait between individuals since they are the alternate version of the original genes.
Although genetic variations could be brought about by crossing over, random fertilization, or independent assortment; mutation is the original source because it provides the basic raw material for all the evolutionary changes.
Answer:
The repeating subunits of DNA are ribonucleotides whereas in RNA they are deoxyribonucleotides.
Explanation:
Ribonucleotides are repeating subunit of RNA while the deoxy-ribonucleotides are repeating subunits of DNA. That why RNA full form represent the ribonucleic acid and DNA represent deoxyribonucleic acid.
Actually the word "deoxy" means one oxygen is removed or less in DNA. The DNA lacks the one oxygen atom of hydroxyl group at carbon number two of ribose sugar. While RNA have the hydroxyl group at carbon number two of hydrogen atom.
The removal of one hydrogen atom in DNA make it more stable than RNA because DNA is made specifically to store genetic information and needed to be strong. The oxygen atom in RNA makes it vulnerable for attack by other biological molecules.
Answer: The answer is that the phenotypic ratio among phenotypes produced from an F1 X F1 dihybrid cross is 9:3:3:1.
Explanation:
Independent assortment of genes explains how alleles on different chromosomes arrange independently of one another during gamete formation.
So, a dihybrid cross involving TWO characters (e.g Seed color & seed shape) would have its respective alleles DISTRIBUTED whether dominant or recessive, for crossing to occur and yield varying proportion of offspring in the well spread ratio of 9:3:3:1; making it a consequence of independent assortment of genes
