Biology

Maru [420]3 years ago

Gene duplication played a critical role in evolution in that it produces redundant copies of existing genes, which are then free to mutate and adopt new functions. it is a major mechanism in which new genetic materials are generated during molecular evolution. Gene duplication is important in that it can provide new genetic material for mutation, drift and selection to act upon, which results in specialized or new gene functions.

what is the phenotypic ratio that results from a dihybrid cross between two organisms and that are heterozygous for both traits

What is the other name for the planetary accretion model?
Ivanshal [37]

The correct answer is option C, Planetesimal assembly

Accretion is the assembling of particle to form a massive object by virtue of gravitational attraction. Most of the celestial objects are formed by the accretion process. Planetesimals is an important step in the formation process of planet which involves the accumulation of dust and ice particles. Thus Planetary assembly work on the same principal of planetary accretion model and hence it can be stated as another name of planetary accretion model

Which of the following findings, if true, would support CRITICS of GM crops?
Pie
<span>The correct answer is letter C, Bt corn reduces the populations of bees needed to pollinate the plants.

Plants that have been genetically modified are not naturally occurring therefore, organisms that are introduced to such kinds of plant breeds are not familiar with that kind of species. The probable side effect that critics would use is the answer to the question because plant pollination is such a critical cycle that occurs within the Earth. If plants are not able to pollinate, its biodiversity would be compromised.</span>

What role does cellular respiration play in the carbon cycle
baherus [9]
Cellular respiration and photosynthesis are important parts of the carbon cycle. The carbon cycle is the pathways through which carbon is recycled in the biosphere. While cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the environment, photosynthesis pulls carbon dioxide out of the atmosphere.
