Answer:
The functional units of dna that contain the instructions for making one or more proteins are the "Genes".
Explanation:
When two tectonic plates slide past each other, the place where they meet is a transform or lateral fault. The San Andreas Fault is one of the best examples of lateral plate motion
Answer:
The correct answer would be C. The protein synthesized will contain many erroneous amino acids since the loss of one base will shift the reading of the encoded base sequence.
Deletion mutation that does not occur in the multiple of three bases can results in frame-shift mutation.
It changes the reading frame of nucleotide in DNA. Thus, the reading frame of codons in mRNA would also change.
Consequently, the sequence of amino acids in a polypeptide chain would change or alter. Thus, a protein would contain many erroneous amino acids.
An example of the same is shown below in the image.
Answer:
D. Population genetics
Population genetics is the study of genetic variation within populations, and involves the examination and modelling of changes in the frequencies of genes and alleles in populations over space and time. ... In natural populations, however, the genetic composition of a population's gene pool may change over time.
Explanation:
microevolution - evolutionary change within a species or small group of organisms, especially over a short period. (Not studying the overall evolution in the population, just a single allele usually) Not it then
macroevolution - Macroevolution in the modern sense is evolution that is guided by selection among interspecific variation, as opposed to selection among intraspecific variation in microevolution (this goes over huge groups of different species) Not it then
gene pool - The gene pool is the set of all genes, or genetic information, in any population, usually of a particular species. (Not the study of evolution in a population) Not that then
So it has to be D
Answer:
An organisms niche is it's role in the ecosystem. This includes what it eats and what it's eaten by, and is usually affected by it's habitat.
An organisms habitat is simply where the organism lives.
