Hybridization _____.

Biology
2 answers:

Answer:

usually produces offspring that cannot reproduce

Explanation:

Hybridization is the process of crossing two organisms usually of different species, genus or families but of desirable characters to produce organisms known as hybrids.

<em>Hybrid organisms combine the characteristics of both parents and because of the difference in genetic composition of the parents, they are often sterile and hence, cannot reproduce.</em>

<em>Therefore, </em><em>hybridization usually produces offspring that cannot reproduce.</em>

Answer:

The correct answer is: c) usually produces offspring that cannot reproduce.

Explanation:

Hybridization, also knowns as selective breeding, is an <u>artificial process</u><u> that involves selecting parents with specific characteristics in order to obtain an offspring with the same traits</u>.

Hybridization is very common and has been performed by humans for thousands of years: from selective breeding crop plants, to do so with dogs in order to create more desirable breeds.

Option A is incorrect because hybridation does not occur in nature, it is an artificial process.

Option B is incorrect because hybridation often happens when the selected parents are chosen to reproduce (by a human).

Option D is correct because an important amount of hybrids are sterile (for example: mules).

Option D is incorrect as well because the offspring is not identical: it shares a combination of genes from both parents.

scZoUnD [109]

Question is incomplete. Complete question has been attached.

Answer:

A) DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme that synthesizes leading and lagging strands during replication.

Explanation:

DNA polymerase synthesizes the new DNA strand from the template strands. Both the strands in a DNA molecule act as templates, however both of them have different orientation. It was observed that 3'-5' template DNA produced a new DNA strand continuously in one step. However, 5'-3' template produced new DNA strand in fragments which were joined together later. This observation gave the idea that DNA polymerase is a directional enzyme. It synthesizes DNA in 5'-3' direction so 3'-5' template gave rise to a continuous DNA segment. However, for 5'-3' template, DNA polymerase had to synthesize in opposite direction i.e. 3'-5' which was not possible directly. So the enzyme replicates it in short separate fragments which are later joined by DNA ligase.

Part 1. De-chlorinated water is water that doesn't contain any chlorine.

Part 2. Tap water contains chlorine, the chlorine should be removed from the water before putting in an aquarium. This is because Chlorine is known for cleaning and killing micro-organisms. It should not be put into an aquarium because it can be harmful to the life inside of it.

Part 3. There are various ways to de-chlorinate water. One of the ways is by dissolving a tablet of potassium <span>metabisulfite into it. 1 tablet = 20 gallons of water dechlorinated.
