Answer:
c. the neutral theory posits that the vast majority of mutations do not influence the fitness of individuals
Explanation:
The neutral theory proposed by Motoo Kimura states that the vast majority of changes at the molecular level (DNA) in a population happens due to genetic drift, not by natural selection, this implies that the mutations are neutral and do not give an advantage to the organisms.
This means that mutant alleles are preserved due to the randomness of life and not because this alleles give selective advantage over other individuals of the population.
Answer:
Protein: 3. This folded amino acid chain is genetically encoded and performs specific functions in the cell.
DNA: 1. This series of nucleotides encodes proteins.
Chromatin: 4. This substance is made up of fibers that are formed in the nucleus by supercoiling genetic material.
Histones: 2. These proteins regulate transcription and modifications of genetic material.
Answer:
limiting factors
Explanation:
The ecological optimum represents the value of the factors within the ecological valence at which the life processes of a species take place best. The upper and lower limits of an ecological valence are its maximum and minimum. Beyond these limits, physiological processes are interrupted and death occurs.
