Why are finches important to Darwin's idea?

5 0

It helps to give solid evidence of natural selection. The idea is that there are a number of finches in the Galapagos Islands. These birds vary slightly in appearance, in the function of their beaks and in size. Two species can eventually alter themselves because of the environmental conditions they live in. Some traits will be passed on or developed in one group and not in the other or vica versa. These finches are remarkable in that it did not take long for the changes to take place. It is probably one of the strongest reasons for believing in natural selection, because only those birds who could adapt to change could easily pass on these advantages to their offspring. The relatively short period of time to enact these changes is what makes the this example so attractive.

What appears to be the role of sirna in destroying the target mrna upon which it and its associated proteins act? it cleaves the

Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

<span>siRNA guides the RISC that cleaves the target mRNA. siRNA binds to its target mRNA due to its complementarity.</span> <span>Small interfering RNA (siRNA) has a function in RNA interference, which means it causes gene silencing through repression of transcription. siRNA together with some proteins (like Argonaute) form the RISC. When siRNA recognize the target mRNA it causes degradation of mRNA and thus silencing the gene that encodes that mRNA.</span>

During streak plate technique: Why is it necessary to flame the loop in between streaks?A. To grab bacteria from previous streak

Alex Ar [27]

Answer: Option C

Explanation:

In case of streaking, the loop is flame in between streaks. This is done in order to prevent the number of bacteria from entry into the new area of the streak.

The bacterial population is taken from the loop and is streaked on the petri dish containing the nutrient medium.

This loop is flamed and then again used for streaking the another bacterial species. So, no two bacterial species should be mixed with each other do it is flamed in between the intervals of streaking.
