<span>the one that is not a source of genetic variation is : D. Asexual reproduction In asexual reproduction, there is no fertilization process between male and female gender. Which mean the offspring that came from asexual reproduction would be exactly the same as its parent, without any chance of genetic variation</span>

<span>Genetic variations are the differences between individuals in a population, the most obvious types of genetic variation are: mutation, sexual reproduction and lateral gene transfer. These all involves genes mixing or changing. Therefore (d)asexual reproduction is not a source of genetic variation; this type of gene transfer is directly moving the genes of a parent to the offspring, therefore keeping the exact same gene pattern.</span><span />

Over time, what happens to a trait that is an advantage to an organism?
Charra [1.4K]
I remember back in 10th grade I learned that birds that had beaks that were easier to break the seeds carried those traits to their babies and the whole area had that type of beak since it was necessary to break some seeds. So the beaks that were a disadvantage no longer existed and the beaks that became an advantage passed along to all the other birds.

Side note: if they all had the same beak they could all fight for the same type of seeds and probably have some sort of intense competition but idk if that’s necessary

Using the sliding flament theory, explain (or draw) the process of sarcomere shortening. Start from the point where calcium woul
Arte-miy333 [17]

Answer:

  1. Calcium binds to troponin C
  2. Troponin T moves tropomyosin and unblocks the binding sites
  3. Myosin heads join to the actin forming cross-bridges
  4. ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate and releases energy
  5. The energy is used to impulse myofilaments slide producing a power stroke
  6. ADP is released and a new ATP joins the myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament
  7. ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, starting a new cycle
  8. Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

Explanation:  

In rest, the tropomyosin inhibits the attraction strengths between myosin and actin filaments. Contraction initiates when an action potential depolarizes the inner portion of the muscle fiber. Calcium channels activate in the T tubules membrane, releasing <u>calcium into the sarcolemma.</u> At this point, tropomyosin is obstructing binding sites for myosin on the thin filament. When calcium binds to troponin C, troponin T alters the tropomyosin position by moving it and unblocking the binding sites. Myosin heads join to the uncovered actin-binding points forming cross-bridges, and while doing so, ATP turns into ADP and inorganic phosphate, which is released. Myofilaments slide impulsed by chemical energy collected in myosin heads, producing a power stroke. The power stroke initiates when the myosin cross-bridge binds to actin. As they slide, ADP molecules are released. A new ATP links to myosin heads and breaks the bindings to the actin filament.  Then ATP splits into ADP and phosphate, and the energy produced is accumulated in the myosin heads, which starts a new binding cycle to actin. Finally, Z-bands are pulled toward each other, shortening the sarcomere and the I-band, producing muscle fiber contraction.

Recall the three discoveries Erwin Chargaff made while studying DNA: the total amount of pyrimidines (T+C) equals the total amou
mylen [45]

Answer:

All of the answer options are correct.

Explanation:

Chargaff contributed in understanding the structure and composition of DNA with his discoveries. He discovered that purine and pyrimidine bases are in equal amounts in a DNA molecule. He also discovered that amount of Adenine base (A) is equal to amount of Thymine base (T). It means that A pairs with T. Since A is a purine and T is a pyrimidine it also implies that purine base pairs with a pyrimidine base. This conclusion can also be arrived by taking in consideration the other base pair which is G (purine) and C (pyrimidine).
