Deforestation is one major concern with harvesting wood. There are also all types of organisms that lose their habitats.
Answer:
variation
Explanation:
Genetic variation is what makes us all unique as a result of subtle changes in our DNA. The Theory of Evolution is a process in which organisms change over time as a result of adapting to their environment. Charles Darwin came up with the term Survival of the fittest, in any environment plants and animals from the same species show natural variation in their physical characteristics, like neck lengths in giraffes. Darwin suggested that the plants and animals best suited to the environment will survive and pass on their characteristics to their offspring. Over time, the characteristics of the surviving members of the species will become predominant.
Example: Peppered moth
In London in the 1800's, 98% of peppered moths had light colored bodies and only 2% were dark. The light moths were the same color as the trees so they could easily hide from hungry birds and not get eaten. The dark moths however were easy to see and were eaten. Then came the factories and smoke of the industrial evolution and many trees turned black with soot and suddenly the dark moths were able to survive better as they now looked like the trees and the light colored moths were easier to spot and eat. By 1895 the dark peppered moths made up 95% of the population and the light colored moths only 5%. This is an example of natural selection, because of the gene that makes the moths dark, it allowed them to flourish when the environment changed, they adapted, reproduced and survived.
Answer:
See
Explanation:
Given:
Brown allele (B) is dominant over the white allele (b).
It will be assumed that the alleles are not related to the X and Y chromosomes.
See attached diagram for details of the general case (for both homo-zygous and hetero-zygous parents)
For both parents hetero-zygous,
P1:
Genotype: Bb (100%)
Phenotype: brown (100%)
F1:
Genotypes : BB, Bb, bB and bb in equal proportions, i.e.
BB (25%), Bb (50%), bb (25%)
Phenotypes: 75% brown (from BB and Bb), 25% white (from bb)
The carbohydrates found in our genetic material are the two sugars deoxyribose and ribose.
Carbohydrates are defined as organic compounds which occur in food and living tissue and include starch, sugars and cellulose. They are composed of hydrogen, oxygen and carbon.
Deoxyribose is a sugar found in the structure of DNA, while the sugar ribose is found in the structure of RNA.
DNA is the molecule that carries the cell's genetic information while RNA is the molecule involved in synthesis of protein using the coded information received from DNA.
Both DNA and RNA are termed as the genetic molecules of life.
