Which of the following statements best compares genetic diversity in eukaryotes and prokaryotes?

Biology
1 answer:
cestrela7 [59]3 years ago
5 0

Answer:

C. Mutations increase the genetic diversity in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Explanation:

It is a well-established fact that mutations increase the genetic diversity in living organisms (especially if they are positive mutations). The positive and faster mutations will help the organism to develop better traits for survival in the changing environments.

The other options are incorrect because of the following reasons:

A. Eukaryotes don't do gene transfer via conjugation.

B. Eukaryotic species don't experience a greater rate of mutations as compared to the prokaryotes. Prokaryotes have a faster mutation rate. This is the reason that microbes can adapt to changing environments faster than humans or other multicellular organisms.

D. As mentioned above, sexually reproducing eukaryotic species evolves slower than the asexually reproducing species. For example, evolution in bacteria (e.g. drug resistance) is faster than any organism belonging to eukaryotic lineage.

The ozone layer protects life on Earth by absorbing harmful ultraviolet radiation. The ozone layer is located between 17 kilomet
Zolol [24]
The correct answer is (2) - Stratosphere. Ozone is found in the stratosphere , a layer beginning between 6 and 10 miles above the earth's surface and extends upward to about 30 mile above the surface of he earth. The ozone that is found in the stratosphere absorbs most of he harmful ultraviolet sunlight and is thus called the "good ozone" Ozone is also found in the lower region of the atmosphere known as the troposphere. But the ozone here strongly reacts with molecules causing toxicity in plants. The ozone is therefore termed as "bad ozone."
