Variation in a trait is a required condition for natural selection to act on a population for that trait. Assuming a population

of organisms only started with only one form of a trait, what are two ways variation in the trait could be introduced into the population?

Answer:

I) Sexual reproduction

II) Mutation

Explanation:

Variations refer to the difference observed within organisms of the same species. Variation are introduced into a population by:

- new genetic combinations that occur during sexual reproduction (i.e during meiosis)

- mutations, spontaneous changes that occur in genes and chromosomes.

A single gene produces two different proteins, utilizing different exons. What is the most likely explanation?
Helen [10]

Answer:   Differences in mRNA splicing.

Explanation:

The exon is the region of a gene that is not separated during the cutting and splicing process and thus remains in the mature messenger RNA. In genes encoding a protein, it is the exons which contain the information to produce the protein encoded in the gene. In these cases, each exon encodes a specific portion of the complete protein, so that the set of exons forms the coding region of the gene. In eukaryotes, the exons of a gene are separated by long regions of DNA (called introns) which do not code.

RNA splicing is a post-transcriptional process of maturing RNA from which certain sequential fragments are removed. This process is very common in eukaryotes, and can occur in any type of RNA, although it is more common in mRNA. It consists of removing the introns from the primary transcript and then binding the exons. Particularly, <u>alternative RNA splicing takes place when one gene can produce different proteins as a result of what segments are considered as introns and exons</u>. When different segments are considered exons, the result is a great diversity of mature transcripts which produce different proteins.

<u>So, gene splicing is a post-transcriptional modification in which a gene can code for many proteins, which makes it an important source of protein diversity.</u>

Over the years, there has been an overuse of antibiotThis overuse has resulted in more loss resistant and weaker bacteria to die
alexgriva [62]

Answer:

Hi there. The answer to this is disruptive selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection deals with a change in the environment the antibiotic in this question show a disruptive selection that created superbugs that affected a lot of humans due to the meats from farms it changed a lot of the environment because the bacteria somehow got used to the resitant antibiotic.

Hope that helped :)

The ABO blood type in humans
NeX [460]

Answer:

ABO blood group system, the classification of human blood based on the inherited properties of red blood cells (erythrocytes) as determined by the presence or absence of the antigens A and B, which are carried on the surface of the red cells. Persons may thus have type A, type B, type O, or type AB blood.

How do axial filaments differ from regular bacterial flagella? How do axial filaments differ from regular bacterial flagella? Th
aksik [14]

Answer:

The axial filament is located between the cell membrane and the outer membrane.

Explanation:

Axial filaments are structures used for motility too. They wraped around the cell body and are found in spyrochetes. The origin of the flagella is in the periplasmic space, the space between the inner membrane and the outer membrane they differ because other flagellum are near the cell surface, attached to the basal body enclosed in the cell envelope.

In what ways can nitrogen gas be broken down into nutrients for plants​
oksano4ka [1.4K]

Answer:

it can be done by oxidation and reduction.

Some nitrogen fixing bacterias are also responsible for converting atmospheric nitrogen into nitrates that plants can use (e.g ribozhium )

bacterias in the soil participate in nitrification as well, oxidizing ammonium ions into nitrates which plants can use.

Explanation:

Oxidation produces nitrate compounds

reduction produces ammoniacal compounds.
