Either population of organism with different traits coming in or out

serg [7]3 years ago

Answer:

Gene flow or allele flow is the transfer of genes or genetic variation among populations.

This gene flow or migration of genes help maintain the similarities between the species or genetic diversity in a population but slows the process of speciation and variation in the population.

The causes of gene flow are:

1. Random mating- random mating among organisms of different population causes movement of alleles in populations.

3. Recombination of chromosomes during meiosis- can change the alleles of the organism.

2. Mutation- mutation in DNA can create new alleles in a population.

4. Random fertilization.

Which of the following describes a cell structure that a Gram-negative bacterium has that a Gram-positive bacteria does not have
Furkat [3]

A Gram- negative bacteria has a thin cell wall of Peptidoglycan which is sandwiched between the cell membrane and outer membrane. Where as, the Gram positive bacteria has a thick layer of Peptidoglycan outside their cell membrane.

Hence Gram- negative bacteria is different from a Gram- negative bacteria in because it has an extra layer that is outside the Peptidoglycan layer.

Hence the right option is D

This feature of the Gram-negative bacteria does not let crystal violet solution to soak into its Peptidoglycan layer because it is covered by the extra layer where as an Gram- positive bacteria will easy soak into crystal violet solution due to the exposed Peptidoglycan layer.

Which of the following model organisms is a multicellular worm usedto study the process of development? a)Saccharomyces cerevisi
san4es73 [151]

Answer:b) Caenorhabditis

Explanation:

The C.elgans is a species of Caenorhabditis. It is a namatode which can be male or hermaphrodite. It lays 1000 of eggs which can be used for the purpose of research studies. These worms share common genes and molecular pathways like in humans.

Many of the genes present in C. elegans have functional counterparts as that of humans which makes them useful for determining the cause of human diseases. The mutant forms of genes of C.elegans can be used for screening the thousands of drugs. The genes have been used to determine the effects of ageing in humans, cancer, diabetes and other diseases.

Due to above reasons the C.elegans are considered as model organisms.
