The change in weather pattern caused forest to become sparse and hot weather caused the reduction of apes as they had less food and difficulty in surviving the climate.

Explanation:

In Miocene epoch volcanic mountain chains were created in Central Africa which abruptly changed the local weather.

The sea-level got drop due to global cooling of that time.

This resulted in continental drift making land connection of Africa with Eurasia.

The primates started migrating through this route.

The African forest become dry causing selective pressures in primates.

The cooler climate in Eurasia caused extinction and migration of primates to Africa in late Miocene epoch.

The hot and humid climate and less woodland caused a reduction in number of apes which were replaced by modern world monkeys.

You wish to create a mutation in which you prevent access of rna polymerase to the gene. Which region of a gene would you target
Alexus [3.1K]

Answer:

The promoter region/sequence

Explanation:

Promoter sequences/region is where the transcription factors and RNA polymerase must attach before the gene can be transcribed. SO if we mutate this sequence, the transcription factors and RNA polymerase won't recognize it thus would not attach and transcribe the targeted gene.

Bacteria lack RNA-splicing machinery, which means they are unable to splice out introns from eukaryotic genes. To engineer a bac
taurus [48]

Answer:

<em>make a gene from the given mRNA without the introns.</em>

Explanation:

Introns can be described as the non- coding regions of DNA. As they are non- coding, they are spliced out from the mRNA so that only the coding regions can be translated.

If we know a nucleotide sequence, then we can make a gene from it without added the introns. We can consider an mRNA strand and make a complementary strand from it, excluding the intron regions. Then from the DNA produced, we can make an mRNA without the introns and insert it into a bacterium.
