If the mutation rate of individual genes is taken to be about one in 100,000 genes per cell cycle across many organisms, we migh

t expect evolution to proceed at a consistent rate for various forms of life. Which factor could make the accumulation of gene mutations faster or slower among different organisms?

Answer:

The questions does not have any options.

Explanation:

In this case, the possible options are:

  • Organisms with more genes will likely have more mutations per generation.
  • More selection of mutations can occur in a shorter period of time for bacteria that replicate each twenty minutes than for humans with a (roughly) 20-year generation span.
  • Organisms vary in the proportion of DNA that is active and in the percent of loci that have multiple alleles.
  • All of the choices are correct- is the correct answer.

Organisms carrying more genes may have more mutations per every generation. Bacteria which replicate by means of asexual reproduction and which are haploid, reproduce after every 20 minutes, and chances of mutation in them  occurs more rapidly.

Different organisms vary in the proportion of DNA that is active and in the percent of loci that have multiple alleles.

The answer is Mullerian mimicry.

Mullerian mimicry is a kind of mimicry in which two or more poisonous animals generate identical presences as a shared protective tool. The theory behind this is that if a predator learns to avoid one of the poisonous species, it will also avoid the mimic species as well.

It is a natural process in which two or more often repugnant species, which may or may not be closely associated and share one or more common predators, have started to mimic each other's cautionary signals, for their communal benefit, as predators eventually learn to avoid all of them.

In what way is sedimentary rock formation in nature like a sieve?
Anna11 [10]
<span>B. Rocks go through many stages during their formation</span><span>

Sedimentary rocks together with the igneous rocks and the metamorphic rocks are the three main types of rocks that existed on earth. It is formed or made accordingly into four major ways. First, it is formed by depositing weathered remains of "clastic sedimentary rocks" or other rocks. Second, is through accumulation and the consolidation of sediments, thirdly is by depositing the results of biogenic activity and lastly it is formed through precipitation from solution. Limestone, shale, chalk clay and others are best examples of sedimentary rocks. </span>
