Answer:

Hello!

Here are the definitions:

  1. DNA: The genetic carrier in living organisms that contains all the information required for the growth and development of an organism.  
  2. Synthesis: The creation of something, production of compounds in living  things .
  3. Adenine: A purine (double ringed) nucleobase found in DNA and RNA.
  4. Guanine: Occurs in both DNA and RNA, a purine (double ringed) nucleobase .
  5. Cytosine: Single ringed, 6-carbon, nitrogen containing,  pyrimidine nucleobase that exists in both DNA and RNA.
  6. Thiamine: Single ringed, 6-carbon, nitrogen containing , pyrimidine nucleobase that exists in DNA only.
  7. Enzyme: A complex, globular protein that helps in  catalyzing chemical reactions in the body.
  8. Helicase (Unzipper): An enzyme involved in DNA  replication that unzips the DNA double helix by breaking  hydrogen bonds between the nucleobases.
  9. DNA Polymerase (Builder): An enzyme that polymerizes  nucleobases and extends RNA primers into complete  DNA strands.
  10. Primase (Preparer for building): An enzyme that  prepares the RNA primer required by DNA polymerase for  forming DNA starnds.
  11. Ligase (Gluing enzyme): An enzyme that glues different  fragments of DNA and RNA together.
  12. DNA Replication: The process by which DNA makes a  copy of itself through the use of DNA replication  enzymes.
  13. Origin: The origin or origin of replication is the point on the DNA where replication starts. This part of DNA basically contains sites that the replication enzymes can recognize.
  14. Double Helix: A term that describes the structure of DNA that consists of two linear, antiparallel DNA strands that twist around each other, giving the appearance of a twisted ladder.
  15. Antiparallel: A term used to describe the direction of DNA strands in a double helix. It means that the two strands run parallel to each other but in opposite directions.
  16. 3' (3 prime): The sugar phosphate backbone of DNA contains phosphate groups bonded to 3' and 5' carbon atoms of the ribose. The end of the sugar phosphate backbone that contains the free hydroxyl (OH-) end is called the 3' end.
  17. 5' (5 prime):  The end of the backbone that contains a free 5' phosphate is called the 5' end.
  18. Semiconservative Replication: A mechanism of DNA replication that generates two copies of a single double helix in which one strand comes from the template and one is newly synthesized.

Write a paragraph explaining how genetic variation, reproductive strategies and environmental pressures have impacted the surviv
Andreas93 [3]

Answer: Genetics and Pressures

Explanation:

For natural selection to occur, a population must have a wide variety of individuals with different traits. For example, natural selection would not influence fish body color if all individuals in a population were exactly the same color. Variation of scale color can help a fish species have a higher chance of survival by confusing predators as to what species they are.

Reproductive strategies represent a set of behavioral, morphological, and physiological adaptations that facilitate access to potential mates, improve the chances of mating and fertilization, and enhance infant survival. Male peacocks have bright, big tail feathers, for example, to attract females. If an organism has a high appeal, this will make them more likely to be able to meet and continue the survival of the species.

Environmental pressures, such as plant death, could influence the survival of herbivorous organisms. Say a small land creature consisted off grass, and an epidemic killed all the grass in their region. They would either die off, or they would evolve to find different types of food. The former could reduce population, while the latter could increase it.
