Answer:
The answer is A
Explanation:
The road fragmented the habitat and now the turtles are not able to breed
Answer:
No, there are multiple ways in which different mutations in the same gene can cause the same phenotype
Explanation:
Several different mechanisms of mutation can lead to the same phenotype. For example, lets say our phenotype is that flies have white eyes, and we know that this occurs in one particular gene that normally makes the eye colour red. (the red gene)
These mutations likely rendered the red gene ineffective (as the eyes are not red). However, this could happen in a variety of ways.
- There could be a single base deletion in the first exon of the mRNA, changing the reading frame of the protein and messing up the entire sequence (a frame shift mutations)
- The entire gene could be deleted
- A single base could be substituted in an important site of the gene, for example, one which translates into a catalytic residue or binding site in the protein
- There could be an inversion at the promoter region of the gene, such that a transcription factor can no longer bind to transcribe the gene.
There are countless other ways in which a mutation could have been caused. Therefore, just because we know the same gene is affected does not mean that we can assume the mutations are identical.
If a moving object loses mass, how can it keep its momentum constant?
A. by speeding up
Answer: C) The event at the end of the Triassic Resulted in the extinction of fewer fauna’s then in any other period
Explanation:
Looking at the graph, the event at the end of the Triassic resulted in the smallest dip in the amount of fauna in the graph. This means that this event resulted in the extinction of fewer faunas than any of the other five major events.
Option A is wrong as the event at the end of the Devonian decreased the number of Cambrian fauna.
Option B is wrong as the event at the end of the Cretaceous resulted in a decrease in the Paleozoic fauna.
Option D is wrong because the event that resulted in the Extinction of more fauna’s then in any other period was the event at the end of the Permian.
