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.

In the same science fair, Tina asks the question "Does caffeine
77julia77 [94]

How many drops of caffeine she drops on the worm is the manipulated variable.

In an experiment, the independent variable is a manipulated variable. Due to the fact that you may alter it, it is termed the "manipulated" one. In other words, you can choose in advance whether to raise it or lower it. Only one variable should be changed at a time throughout an experiment.

The Independent variable is Caffeine's impact. the production and use of nitrogen fertilizers, as well as the burning of fossil fuels in autos, power plants, and industries, are dependent variables that are local in scope.  the heart rate of the worm is the responding variable in this experiment.

When an earthworm is given a stimulant like caffeine, its heart rate rises. Does coffee make an earthworm's heart beat faster? is the research topic upon which the experiment is based. The effect of coffee is the independent variable in this research question, and the response it causes is a change in heart rate (the dependent variable) This brings us to the following theory: "If an earthworm is given a stimulant like caffeine, then its heart rate accelerates."

How does a ring species illustrate speciation in action?
NikAS [45]

Answer:

Speciation occurs at terminal population groups

Explanation:

A ring species represents a group of organism that has moved beyond a geographic barrier to produce a ring shaped distribution. This population is contiguous and there exists no barrier to gene flow anywhere in the ring except at the terminal populations.  

Speciation is demonstrated in the terminal population has become sympatric and it does not interbreed even if they are connected by chain of intergrading or interbreeding populations
