Fossils are formed in a number of different ways, but most are formed when a plant or animal dies in a watery environment and is buried in mud and silt. Soft tissues quickly decompose leaving the hard bones or shells behind. Over time sediment builds over the top and hardens into rock.

What are all the possible sources of genetic variation in sexuaally repdoucing organisms?
Allushta [10]

Answer:

Mutation, Gene flow/Migration/Immigration of gene and Recombination

Explanation:

For any species there are majorly three sources of genetic variations –  

a) Mutation – This leads to change in the genetic code with in the DNA of an organism. Sometimes mutation does not produce any effect on the organism. Mutation can produce both positive and negative impact. Its effect is observed in long run as its rate is slow.

b) Recombination – When an organism undergoes sex, his/her genes recombine with the genes of mating partner. The rate of recombination is faster than the rate of mutation  

c) Gene flow /Migration/Immigration of gene – In this gene travel from one set of population to the other. The frequency of gene in the mixed population lies between the original population gene frequency and the migrated or donor population gene frequency

Phosphorus is required to synthesize the deoxyribonucleoside triphosphates used in DNA replication. A geneticist grows some E. c
Harlamova29_29 [7]

Answer:

<h2> After one round: one strand of DNA  will contain radioactive 3232P, while the other strand  will not contain any radioactive phosphate. </h2><h2> After two rounds:  here 50%  of DNA will have 3232P in both strands, while 50% will contain 3232P in one strand and nonradioactive in the other strand. </h2>

 

Explanation:

1. In the initial sample which is immediately removed after addition of radioactive isotope of phosphorus ( 3232P), hence there is  no incorporation of 3232P into the DNA because replication in the medium containing 3232P has not yet occurred.  

2. After one round of replication in  radioactive isotope of phosphorus ( 3232P) containing  medium, here  only one newly synthesized strand of DNA molecule will contain 3232P, while the other strand  will not contain any  radioactive isotope of phosphorus ( 3232P),  because DNA replication occurs in semi-conservative way.

3. After two rounds of replication in medium which contains radioactive isotope of phosphorus ( 3232P), here 50% of the DNA molecules will have  radioactive isotope 3232P in both strands, while the rest 50% will contain 3232P in only one strand and nonradioactive phosphorous in the other strand.
