Albinism is a recessive trait characterized by an absence of pigment melanin responsible for skin and hair color. Actually, albinism is caused by a defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin. The central dogma of molecular biology explains that the sequence of DNA specifies the sequence of mRNA, which, further, specifies codes for the sequence of proteins. Since a gene is a segment of DNA, altered gene will cause altered mRNA which will cause altered protein. Thus, <span>defect in gene for enzyme which synthesizes melanin will cause the absence of melanin and consequently, albinism.</span>
Step 1:
The bacterium cell must copy its DNA so the new cells will have DNA. DNA or, deoxyribonucleic acid, has all of the information the bacterium will need to survive, so it is important it gets copied. The DNA is tightly wound so it is in a neat package called a chromosome.
Steps 2 and 3:
The bacterium now grows larger. This allows for some separation between the two DNA copies that are inside the cell. A division develops in the middle of the bacterium. This division eventually completely divides the bacterium in half. This is called cytokinesis.
Step 4:
Each cell is now called a daughter cell and they separate.
The steps of binary fission
binary fission
Binary fission results in two identical daughter cells. This is a type of asexual reproduction, or creating genetically identical offspring. If humans were able to reproduce using binary fission, it would look something like this: your mother or father would grow larger, and inside all of his or her DNA would be copied. Eventually your parent would split in half creating an identical clone.
The correct answer is C. It is so strict because a foreign species could compete with a native species and drive it to extinction.
The Hawaiian islands are one of the geographical isolated islands which faces the problem of the invasive species affecting the biodiversity of the island negatively.
The foreign species is equipped better to survive in the Hawaiian habitat and competes with the native species for the resources and food. The interaction and competition of the foreign species in the Hawaiian environment and habitat limits the resources for native species which increases the chance of the native species getting endangered.
The Hawaii Invasive Species Council along with other bodies such as department of agriculture, department of business and economic development, private and other government and non-government bodies have taken initiatives towards eradication of invasive species by strict laws.
The energy from cellular respiration comes from food and air. The reactants first cellular respiration are oxygen and glucose. Glucose is a form of sugar and comes from food, and oxygen is found in air.
The main reactants or cellular respiration, as stated above, are oxygen and glucose.
During the first stage of cellular respiration, which takes place in the cytoplasm, a small amount of energy is produced when glucose is broken down into smaller particles.
Scientist study index fossils so they will get an understanding of what life was like back then.
