B. Scarcity of drinking water
Answer:
With respect to the composition of DNA, in an analysis it can be found that the proportions of nucleotides are A + C = G + T (option a).
Explanation:
The proportion of nucleotides in a DNA molecule can be established according to the sequence of these nucleotides on both complementary strands, since the purinic bases of one strand are complemented by the pyrimidinic bases of another:
- <em>Adenine is complemented with Thymine A=T</em>
- <em>Guanine is complemented with Cytosine G=C</em>
From this we can deduce that in a DNA molecule with two chains there will be the same amount of adenine and thymine, as well as the same number of guanine with respect to cytosine, so:
<em> A + C = G + T</em>
An example of this would be a known DNA molecule (hypothetical), with 5 molecules of Adenine and 7 molecules of Guanine. In this case there are 5 Thymines, complementary with Adenine, and 7 Cytosines like Guanine:
<em> A + C = G + T</em>
<em> 5 + 7 = 7 + 5</em>
Answer:
B) There is an increase in the number of giraffes with long necks in areas of Africa where low-growing trees have died
Explanation:
The directional selection is one of the ways of the natural selection in which the natural selection selects or favours the most extreme trait of the species and the extreme trait show higher fitness than the normal or average trait.
In the given question, the case of Giraffe necks shows directional selection as the normal length of the neck is not favoured by the environment but the extreme trait that is long neck is favoured by the environment and the selection shifted to that level.
Thus, Option-B is the correct answer.
