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

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.

How did wegner use climate evidence to support his hypothesis​
Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

Wegener used evidence of climate change to support his hypothesis. As a continent moves toward the equator, its climate becomes warmer. As a continent moves toward the poles, its climate becomes colder. But the continent carries with it the fossils and rocks that formed at its previous locations.

How does aging affect the nervous system?
nika2105 [10]

Answer:

As you age, your brain and nervous system go through natural changes. Your brain and spinal cord lose nerve cells and weight (atrophy). Nerve cells may begin to pass messages more slowly than in the past. Waste products can collect in the brain tissue as nerve cells break down.
