You are examining the DNA sequences that code for the enzyme phosphofructokinase in skinks and Komodo dragons. You notice that t

he coding sequence that actually directs the sequence of amino acids in the enzyme is very similar in the two organisms but that the surrounding sequences vary quite a bit. What is the most likely explanation for this?
A. Coding sequences are repaired more efficiently.
B. Coding sequences are replicated more efficiently.
C. Coding sequences are packaged more tightly in th e chromosomes to protect them from DNA damage.
D. Mutations in coding sequences are more likely to e deleterious to the organism than mutations in noncoding sequences.
E. Recombination between skink and Komodo dragon DNA occurred recently

Answer:

The correct answer is D.

Explanation:

Mutations in coding sequences are more likely to be deleterious to the organism than mutations in non-coding sequences.

Mutations in coding sequence is more harmful because they end up mutating the protein coding region of the DNA , which alters the function of proteins.

These mutations may cause some harmful genetic disorder or end up causing cancer.  That is why mutations  in coding sequences are more harmful to the organism than mutations in non-coding sequences.

What type of rock is limestone? Describe how a limestone rock is likely to change over a long period of time.
frosja888 [35]

Answer:

Explanation:

Most limestones actually start as calcium carbonate mud or shells precipitated by organisms in reefs or shallow shelf regions - the biosphere. Over time, the limestone is broken down into its chemical parts and may come back to the surface as volcanic CO2 (in the atmosphere).

Habitat destruction, and thus habitat fragmentation, is the major cause of declining biodiversity; the second major cause is ___
alekssr [168]

Habitat destruction, and thus habitat fragmentation, is the major cause of declining biodiversity; the second major cause is <u>Invasive Species</u>.

The process by which a natural ecosystem can no longer support its native species is known as habitat destruction. Reduced biodiversity and species abundance result from the displacement or death of the creatures that once occupied the area. The loss of biodiversity is mostly caused by habitat degradation.

An imported organism that overpopulates and damages its new habitat is referred to as an invasive species. Even though the majority of imported species are neutral or helpful to other species, invasive species have a negative impact on habitats and bioregions, harming their ecology, the environment, and/or their economy.

The most frequent methods for invasive plants, animals, microorganisms, and other species to spread to new ecosystems are thought to be human activities like those involved in international trade and the pet trade.
