Name three invasive species and the specific location on Earth that they are affecting.

Biology
1 answer:
yan [13]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

Rats - Virgin Island

Hemlock - Asia

Zebra moulds - Great Lakes

Explanation:

An alien species is one that was introduced into a new environment, but does not have harmful effects. Such alien species are considered invasive species as they begin to have harmful effects on the new habitat. Invasive species can cause damage to the ecosystem, economic harm or human health effects.

Three invasive species are as following:

  1. Rats that came on board ships to the Virgin Islands infested the islands' sugar cane fields and caused significant crop damage.
  2. The woolly adelgid hemlock is an invasive Asian insect which rapidly kills infested hemlock trees.
  3. Zebra moulds in the Great Lakes can easily cover submerged surfaces, obstructing water intakes at water treatment plants and power plants

What is the basics of genetic engineering?
Jet001 [13]

Answer:

Genetic engineering is accomplished in three basic steps. These are (1.) The isolation of DNA fragments from a donor organism; (2.) The insertion of an isolated donor DNA fragment into a vector genome and (3.) The growth of a recombinant vector in an appropriate host.

An experiment was performed to study the progress of cells through the mitotic cell cycle. The compounds listed below were used
Hatshy [7]
<h2>Mitotic Cell Cycle</h2>

Explanation:

a. Cytochalasin: an inhibitor of actin microfilament

  • Cytokinesis is the process by which cytoplasm is divided into two cells hence generation of two daughter cells
  • In animal cells the division of cytoplasm starts with the assembly of contractile ring
  • Contractile band consists of actin and myosin and catalyze cleavage furrow formation
  • Cytochalasin is a drug that blocks the polymerization of actin filament
  • When cytochalasin is added dividing cell fails to undergo in cytokinesis due to defective assembly of contractile band

b. Colchicine: an inhibitor of microtubule formation

  • Colchicine tightly binds with free tubulin dimer and prevents its polymerization
  • In this case mitotic spindle apparatus do not assemble and cells unable to do partitioning of chromosomes into two groups
  • Thus cell division is arrested

c. Aphidicolin: an inhibitor of DNA Polymerase activity

  • Aphidicolin is used to induce cell cycle arrest via specific inhibition of DNA Polymerase α
  • It blocks the cell cycle at early synthesis(S) phase

d. Emetine: an inhibitor of ribosome activity

  • It blocks the protein synthesis in eukaryotic cells by binding to small subunit(40 S) of ribosomes
  • It interferes with the synthesis and activities of DNA and RNA

When a red 4 o'clock flower with a white flower, all of the offspring are pink. This type of inheritance is known as:_______ a.
KatRina [158]

Answer:

b. incomplete dominance

Explanation:

Incomplete dominance is a type of inheritance that does not confirm to Mendel's principles of inheritance i.e it is non-mendelian. Incomplete dominance occurs when an allele of a gene does not completely mask the expression of another allele of the same gene, hence, the two alleles combine to form a heterozygous that is different but intermediate of both parent phenotypes.

This is the case in this question where the red allele (R) of a four o'clock plant is INCOMPLETELY DOMINANT over the white allele (W), hence, they both produce an intermediate pink phenotype (RW), which is a blending of both red and white phenotypes.
