Here is the difference between DNA genes and chromosomes:

DNA genes are the segments of DNA that contain the coding that is used to synthesize a protein; whereas, a chromosome is made up of a very long strand of DNA and contains many genes (from hundreds to thousands).

I attached a diagram to kind of get an idea of what I'm talking about. The genes make up DNA strands, which make up chromosomes ;)

Thank you for your question! I hope this helped! Have an amazing day and feel free to let me know if you need help with anything else! :D

A population of Anolis lizards lives on the mainland. During a storm, three groups of Anolis migrate to three islands, one large

natka813 [3]

Answer:

(i) Small island

(ii) Large island

(iii) Option-3

Explanation:

In the given question, the three population of the Anoles Lizards migrated to three islands of different size.

(i) Genetic drift is a random or by the chance process which changes the frequency of the alleles in the population. The change in the frequency of the allele can be easily observed in the small population therefore the small island with the smallest size of the population will have the strongest genetic drift.

(ii) Heterozygosity of alleles that is with a dominant and a recessive allele is the result of the exchange of alleles in the population. The size of the population is finite on the island therefore the heterozygosity is not introduced in the small population but in a large population, it can be introduced as the mating is random.

(iii) The genetic drift is strongest on the small island therefore L2 allele can be easily influenced by this effect. The selection coefficient is very small that is 0.002 therefore no mutation is occurring on the island.

What is a buffer and how do they function in a chemical reaction?

ivann1987 [24]

Answer:

A buffer is a solution that can resist pH change upon the addition of an acidic or basic components. It is able to neutralize small amounts of added acid or base., thus maintaining the pH of the solution relatively stable. This is important for processes and/or reactions which require specific and stable pH ranges.

Oncogenic virus cores can be_______.

Oksi-84 [34.3K]

Answer:

either RNA or DNA

Explanation:

The advancement of biomedical research techniques and molecular biology has led to the observation of the close relationship between certain viruses and some cancers in various animals. Thus, it has been shown that several DNA and RNA viruses are oncogenic in a wide variety of animals, from amphibians to primates, and there is growing evidence that some human cancers have a viral origin.

Based on this, we can conclude that oncogenic viruses can be composed of DNA or RNA.
