Species are named scientifically using the method termed as the "Binomial Naming System".

<u>EXPLANATION:</u>

Scientists follow a "set of rules to name plants and animals" and they are known as the "binomial naming system".
"Binomial" means "made up of two words" and it describes the genus and the species of the organism.
The "first word" is the "genus", which is capitalized and the "second word" is the "species" which is not capitalized.
Genus is the "name of small groups" of "closely interacted organisms" and species is used to identify the particular species in that same genus.
For example, the "scientific name" for humans is "Homo sapiens", where Homo is the genus which is capitalized and sapiens is the species.
The abbreviation for this group is H. sapiens.

Answer:

Inbreeding leaves animals susceptible to genetic disease, and populations to reduced fitness. This family of three would not be able to sustain a population given their a) group dynamics and b) genetic variation

Explanation:

In small populations, the variation in genetic material is likely to be low. The consequence of this is that there is increased homozygosity. That means less members of the population carry two different alleles of a gene for any given trait. This increases the chance of the appearance of recessive traits, which could be disease causing or otherwise reduce fitness.

With only three related individuals left, the chances of generating a new and thriving population with the limited genetic material is almost non existent, especially considering the animals are a male, female and their pup

Explain how scientists use geologic time to determine the age of landforms.

Pavlova-9 [17]

Answer:

Explanation:Following are the techniques or methods or approaches we can say that were used by the scientists to determine the geologic age:

1. Relative age dating

2. Absolute age dating.

3. Radiation measurement.

4. Stratigraphic superposition.

5. The fossil record.

The scientists used the method of relative dating to divide Earth's past in different chunks of time when alike organisms were on Earth. After that, to discover the actual number of years ago that events occurred, the scientists used the method of absolute dating.

If a cytosine base is substituted for by a thymine base in a DNA segment during DNA replication, the sequence could code for the wrong amino acid during translation.

The change in the sequence of DNA is known as mutation.

When a base substitution occurs in the sequence of a DNA during replication, the genetic information in the region where the substitution occurred becomes compromised.

During transcription, the process of encoding genetic information on DNA into RNA, the base substituted is also transcribed along. If cytosine is substituted by thymine, adenine is transcribed instead of guanine.

During the translation of the genetic codes, the wrong amino acids might end up being translated due to the substituted base, leading to a faulty protein.
