Fudgin [204]3 years ago
4 0

Out of the following given choices;

a) small groups immigrated from a single original population

b) the populations adapted in different ways to local conditions

c) the species original habitat became increasingly rare over time

<span>The answer is B. Vicariance occurs when parts of the population become physically isolated from other parts of the population leading to allopatric speciation of the population. Allopatric speciation occurs respective parts of the population adapt to local conditions while mating in the entire population is inhibited by the geographical separation. </span>

In which of the following hydrogen bonds can be found?
alexandr402 [8]

Answer: C. Between deoxyribose sugar and phosphate group in a DNA nucleotide.

Explanation:

Hydrogen is a very important element in the planet due to the many uses of its compounds for example, water. Hydrogen is also very important to humans as it is integral to DNA formation.

Hydrogen bonds exist in the DNA nucleotide to ensure that different strands are connected to each other. These strands are composed of bonds between deoxyribose sugar and phosphate groups.

Imagine a genomic researcher who is analyzing the genome of different types of cats. She finds that a particular sequence in the
egoroff_w [7]

Answers:

  1. The sequence encodes a gene that is critical for life and cannot be easily mutated while retaining function.
  2. The sequence is contained in a retrovirus that has infected both species.

1- Explanation:

6.8 million years is a considerable period of time and if the cats were evolved in two different specie then technically they should have substantially different sequences of gene. However, there are some genes that are critical for the survival of the organisms because they encode a function which is equally important for the organisms of a certain category, even if they are different specie.

For example, the essential genes that are involved in maintenance of metabolism, initiation of replication or translation of genes. Therefore, with the period of time, the mutation of even a single nucleotide can be lethal for these genes, and if it happens organism will simply die. So, if one organisms is died that cannot take part in the process of evolution and would clearly be cut off from the process, However, those who survive can undergo some other mutations and become separate specie.

2- Explanation:

A retro virus inserts itself in to the genome of host organisms and become a part of them. It is very difficult to detect the presence of the retro virus until the organism undergoes infection due to its attack. Cats are a favorable host for retroviruses - called lentiviruses which attack the cats to cause a critical syndrome Feline Immunodeficiency Virus or FIV. Therefore, it is possible that same retrovirus having a particular sequence has attacked both cats and the sequences were taken from those cats.

Hope it help!
