Answer: Life would cease to exist.
Explanation:
The carbon elements is one of the most important elements in the compound that make up living organisms. It is found: in the remains of living organisms; as fossil fuels such as coal, coke and natural gas; as inorganic salts such as carbonates; in water bodies and as gas carbondioxide which makes up 0.03% of air.
Carbon is continuously being circulated in the atmosphere through a process called the CARBON CYCLE. This involves the removal and addition of carbon to the carbondioxide in the atmosphere.
Life would indeed cease to exist if this carbon cycle stops due to the importance of carbon to functioning of living organisms. Important processes which bring about the recycling of carbon between living ( biotic) and non living (abiotic) components of an ecosystem are:
--> photosynthesis: the process used by green plants to remove carbon through carbondioxide from the atmosphere for manufacturing of their food.
--> respiration: animals respire to break down sugar leading to liberation of carbondioxide and water as wastes
--> and decay: decomposers feeds on remains and waste to bring about decay, thus complex carbon compounds are broken down to set free carbondioxide which returns to the atmosphere.
All the above processes are carried out by living organisms to maintain a functioning ecosystem by enabling a linear flow of energy through it.
Answer: An error during transcription could produce a shorter protein or induce changes in the protein's sequence.
Explanation: Transcription is the process of single-stranded RNA synthesis from a DNA template (gene). During this process, RNA polymerase reads the DNA template and synthetize RNA, keeping the sequence. The RNA sequence will be reading later by ribosomes and protein will be produced. An error in transcription could produce changes in codons that are sequences of 3 nucleotides that determine aminoacids of the protein, and that would change protein folding and inactive it. Another possible result would be that error in transcription produce a premature stop codon that cause a shorter inactive protein.
Answer:
in a certain population of red squirrele, a mutation causes several squirrels to
be bom with darker coats. These coats make the squirrels nearly inweible
when they are foraging on the forest floor
, According to the theory of evolution by natural selection, what is likely to happen to this trait after several generations?
After several generations, this trait is likely to be much more common because individuals with the trait will have a greater chance of passing it on to their offspring,
Explanation:
It would later turn to what is termed as germline mutation which are mutations passed from parent to offspring, as time progresses the trait would be more and increases the chance of being transferred to their offspring
