The McDonald Kreitman tests of genes in the human and chimpanzee genomes showed many with an excess of nonsynonymous variation w

ithin species. Dr. Noor suggested this means that many mutations are sticking around but not getting fixed. In class, Dr. Noor suggested this was probably the result of the inability of our species to eliminate some detrimental mutations. Why is this elimination difficult

Answer:

A mutation may be bad and good depending on the particular environmental conditions

Explanation:

For example, the falciform anemia is a hereditary disease caused by a mutation where the ability to transport oxygen of red blood cells is reduced; however, this genetic disorder is widespread in some African populations because it is a condition that confers resistance to falciparum malaria. In consequence, falciform anemia is a detrimental mutation that may also be beneficial in endemic malaria regions.

Moreover, it is important to note that the higher proportion of non-synonymous substitutions are not subject to selection (only a minor percentage are positively selected) because they are generally localized within non-coding regions, thereby having neutral status.

Give two similarities and two differences between gymnosperms and angiosperms.
kakasveta [241]

<span>Similarities</span> between Gymnospermes and Angiospermes:


<span>·         </span>Having seed-Gymnospermes and Angiospermes are types of plants bear seeds. They belong to a single class known as Spermatophyta. Spermatophyta or seed plants are those <span>plants that produce seeds.</span>

<span>·         </span>Diferentiation- The sporophyte (diploid multicellular stage in the life cycle of a plant) of both,<span> Gymnospermes and Angiospermes,</span> is differentiated into root, stem, and leaves.


Differences between Gymnospermes and Angiospermes:

 

<span>·         </span>Seed-Although both have seeds, differences between them are huge. Gymnospermes have bare, non-encased seeds. The term "gymnosperm"  in Greek means "naked seeds". On the other hand, seeds of Angiospermes are enclosed within an ovary, usually in a fruit.

<span>·         </span>Pollination- In Gymnospermes, the pollination is by wind, unlike most Angiosperms, who use insects, mammals or birds.  Gymnosperm flowers are often difficult to spot because they are not out to attract flying pollinators.
