How does the large amount of genetic variation observed in prokaryotes arise?

Biology
1 answer:
gulaghasi [49]3 years ago
8 0

The question is incomplete as it does not have the option which are:

  • The mutation rate in prokaryotes is much higher than in eukaryotes.
  • They have extremely short generation times and large populations.
  • They can exchange DNA with many types of prokaryotes by way of horizontal gene transfer.
  • They have a relatively small genome.
  • The second and third answers are correct.

Answer:

The second and third answers are correct.

Explanation:

Prokaryotes are the organisms which were formed earlier than the eukaryotes on the Earth so they are simpler than the eukaryotes and contain small genetic material or the genome.

Although the genetic material is small, the small genetic material contains a large amount of genetic variation which could be the result of the earlier form of sexual reproduction in bacteria through horizontal transfer of genetic material through transformation, transduction and conjugation. This process introduces the variation in the genome of the prokaryotes.

Thus, the selected option is the correct answer.

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the _________ group
Alina [70]

Answer: Option B) phosphate; hydroxyl; 3'

We identify nucleic acid strand orientation on the basis of important chemical functional groups. These are the phosphate group attached to the 5' carbon atom of the sugar portion of a nucleotide and the hydroxyl group attached to the 3'

carbon atom

Explanation:

For both RNA and DNA, chemical groups such as phosphate (PO3-) attaches to the 5' carbon of the pentose sugar (deoxyribose in DNA, ribose in RNA).

While hydroxyl group (OH) attaches to the 3' carbon atom of the pentose sugar.

Thus, a nucleic acid structure structure reveals a several repeating units of nucleotides where nitrogenous base links to a pentose sugar, who in turns is linked to phosphate group

Vika [28.1K]

Answer: Organism in this domain can be defined as living things that has an organized structure, and responds to stimuli, and has ability to reproduce, grow, and maintain a state of equilibrium. Organisms are of two types which are unicellular and multi cellular organisms.

Explanation: unicellular organisms are organisms that are made up of only one cell which carries out all the functions needed by the oragnism. Multicellular organisms are organisms that are made up of more than one cell. These organisms uses many different cells to function.

Unicellular organisms are often found in extreme environments such as hot springs, polar ice and frozen tundra.

Unicellular organisms have cell that contain a nucleus.
