<span>The answer to the question "A mutation in yeast makes it unable to convert pyruvate to ethanol. how will this mutation affect these yeast cells" is "a" the mutant yeast will be unable to grow anaerobically.</span>
So, recessive allele 'd' are dwarfs.
The dominant allele is 'D' determines tall.
All you have to do is try to cross the alleles together to get either a homozygous or heterozygous remain. So, you should be able to get Dd or DD.
Answer:
Mutations leading to the better attachement of virus to the host cell would allow the virus to spread the infection and leave more progeny. The reproductive fitness of mutant viruses would allow the mutation to spread.
Explanation:
1. The organisms with same resource requirement compete with each other. Viruses are not living things but once inside the host cell, they behave like living things. Rapid multiplication of virus overpopulate the host cells.
2. Genetic variations are added to the viral progeny by random errors during replication of the viral genome. These random variations may impart beneficial trait, harmful feature or remain neutral. If a random mutation in the SARS-CoV2 virus allows it to adhere better to the cells of the respiratory system, the virus would be better able to infect these cells to spread the infection. Once inside the host cells, the mutant virus would leave more progeny. On the other hand, the wild type virus that lack this mutation would have lesser chances of entering the host cells and may or may not replicate.
3. The progeny of the mutant virus would compete better with the non mutant ones due to the presence of same mutation.
4. Differential reproduction and more progeny of the mutant virus would spread the mutation among the virus.
The part of the nervous system that is similar to the autopilot is the AUTONOMIC NERVOUS SYSTEM. It controls the muscles and the glands of the internal organs. It is divided into sympathetic and parasympathetic. The sympathetic autonomic nervous system brings about excitation in the body while the parasympathetic brings about calmness.
