Answer: D. Extinctions occur at higher rates during times of ecological stress when populations and species are poorly adapted.
Answer:
Since, the original DNA sequence has not been provided, the mutation can be an insertion/deletion or a frameshift mutation.
- Mutated DNA
- Frameshift mutation/ insertion or deletion
- All the amino acids changed after the point mutation
Explanation:
Frameshift Mutation:
- A frameshift mutation is the alteration in the reading frame of the DNA due to the addition/deletion of one or two nucleotides.
- This type of mutation moves the mRNA sequence one or two bases forwards or backwards which disrupts the three base codons sequence required for translation into proteins.
- The CT at the end of the sequence is indicative of a frameshift in the DNA reading frame.
- Frameshift mutation affect all amino acids in a polypeptide chain as all codons are moved one or two steps forwards or backwards.
Answer: Mechanical Isolation
Explanation:
Mechanical isolation is a type of barrier that prevents the species that are closely related from mating with each other.
It is used in case of plants and animals(here beetles) in which the without compatible sex organs individual of different species will not be able to mate and produce offspring.
Thus, the correct answer is option C
Answer:
On the basis of gender preference.
Explanation:
In the modern view of adaptation, the main cause of infanticide is not the food but the gender preference. In many societies, people killed their infant when they knew that the infant is a girl. They thought that having a girl is curse or shameful thing so they kill the infant. These type of people wants male baby or prefer male child so that's why they kill the infants. In the ancient times, infants were killed that were abnormal or having any defects but today it happen due to gender preference.
Fire naturally occurs in a grassland ecosystem and it helps the environment stay healthy and strong. I promotes richer soil as well as gets rid of excess leaves scattered around. After a fire, grassland ecosystems can grow again and be better than they were before.
