Answer:

The correct answer is B. Mismatch repair

Explanation:

Mismatch repair pathway recognizes the mismatched base pair that incorporated during DNA replication and then excise that incorrect base. After excision, it repairs the DNA.

The mismatched daughter strand is distinguished from the parent strand by mismatch repair system as the parent strand is methylated at some bases but the daughter strand is not methylated.  

Three proteins help in mismatch repair MutH, MutL, MutS. Mut H and Mut S recognize the mismatch, Mut H excise the unmethylated strand from 5' side. Then helicase and exonuclease enzymes clave the segment from cleavage site to beyond the mismatch base.  

The gap created by this action is filled by DNA polymerase and sealed by enzyme DNA ligase.

The guppy is a species of small freshwater fish. Many years of scientist observations revealed that the average size of guppies
viktelen [127]

<u>Answer</u>: c natural selection - smaller guppies became less visible to predators d selective breeding - predators select prey based on preferred traits.

In nature, predators prefer larger individuals. They will provide sufficient nourishment, not only to compensate for the used energy during the hunt, but also to sustain the individual for a period of time. Smaller individuals are hunted only if they are infants and thus vulnerable and easily caught.

Thorugh the introduction of the predator, being small became evolutionary advantageous. Thus, large guppy where preyed upon and did not succeed in reproducing. However, small guppy survived and reproduced successfully, thus passing on their genes. The next generation will be composed by the offspring of the smaller fish.

Why is it important that the phospholipid bilayer be both hydrophobic and hydrophilic?
SpyIntel [72]

Answer:

The answer to your question is:  The second option is correct.

Explanation:

Pospholipid bilayer is a thin lipid layer that protects and isolate the cell from the enviroment, also it controls the the entrance of molecules to the cell  and ejects wastes. So it is extremely important.

it is not important    This could not be the right answer, bilater is very important.

to maintain a proper internal environment  I think this is the right answer because among others, membranes mantain a proper internal environment.

to link cells together This option is incorrect, because membranes do not link   cells.
