The correct statement is: t<span>ransduction-virus transfers genes from one bacteria to another. This is a process in which a virus is responsible for transferring DNA from one bacterium to the other. This process does not require physical contact between the cell donating and cell receiving the DNA. Transduction is used by molecular biologists to experiment on host cell genomes when foreign genes are introduced.</span>
Answer:
The correct option is D
Explanation:
Beta-thalassemia major is a hereditary disorder that usually causes severe anaemia. This mutation/disorder eventually leads to death if untreated especially during in the first two years of infancy. The treatment usually involves the transfusion of blood to clear the phenotypic blockage caused by the mutation. However, it requires both alleles to have the thalessemia mutation for a patient to be said to have beta-thalassemia major. Hence, <u>it is </u><u>not true</u><u> that it involves just the x allele and thus affects males more often than females</u>.
Hello!
Natural selection is the way that animals evolve.
The theory of natural selection is that the animals that do not have a specific trait to survive in their environment will die. The animals that do have the trait will survive. The animals that survive will then pass the trait down to their offspring, who will also likely survive because they have the trait. This is how species evolve and continue to survive in their environment.
The species evolve because only the fittest survive (this is known as "survival of the fittest"). The animals that do not have the needed traits will die and they cannot have offspring.
I hope this helps answer your question! Have a great day!
Answer:
-all species change gradually over time.
Explanation:
Mutation often results from cell replication and division. These occur as small, random, errors within the genetic code that become more common or stable within a population over time as traits.
As organisms live within varying niches, environmental changes may render some genetic traits obsolete. However, others may become more beneficial as an adaptation. These adaptations, which make an organism and its offspring suited to a niche, and more likely to survive and reproduce become inherited- this process is called evolution.
