A mutation occurs when there are changes in the gene structure of organisms. It may either increase or decrease the fitness of organisms. However, for mutations to be evident in an organism, it must be inherited by the offspring.
On the other hand, genetic recombination occurs during the sexual reproduction of two parents. During this process, different gene combinations or genotypes are produced. This event is similar to shuffling a deck of cards.
Lateral gene transfer occurs when the genetic material is transferred between organisms. This is not the same as transferring the genes from parent to offspring. This process usually occurs in single-celled organisms such as bacteria and plasmids.
Yes it will
You divide 300 by 0.25
Which should lead up to 1200
An increase in ladybugs would cause a decrease in aphids, since aphids are food for lady bugs, the more hungry lady bugs the less living aphids.
Metallic ions or cations are positively charged ions.
The strand of DNA will be composed of 40% guanine.
We know that each base have complimentary bases, so since there are 10% thymine, we can expect that there will also be 10% adenine. That leaves us with 80%. There are two bases left, guanine and cytosine, so if you divide 80% by 2, you will get 40%.
