<span> Purple loosestrife is a very hardy perennial which can rapidly degrade wetlands, diminishing their value for wildlife habitat. Wetlands are the most biologically diverse, productive component of our ecosystem. Hundreds of species of plants, birds, mammals, reptiles, insects, fish and amphibians rely on healthy wetland habitat for their survival.</span>
Answer:
recombinant DNA
A strand of DNA formed by splicing DNA from 2 different organisms is called recombinant DNA
Explanation:
Using the techniques of recombinant DNA technology, certain enzymes known as restriction enzymes capable of cleaving double stranded DNA in the plasmid of bacteria genomes (other organisms like eukaryotes can also be used) are used to obtain specific sequences of DNA bearing desirable traits in the both organisms.
Once the two DNA fragments have been obtained, another enzyme known as DNA ligase is used to seal the point of splicing, thereby constructing a single DNA from the two organisms.
This single DNA is known as Recombinant DNA
Answer:
A - 3:1
Explanation:
In order to determine what number of offspring will have attached earlobes, we must make a Punnett table. We know that attached earlobes are the dominant gene, and we know unattached earlobes are recessive.
| P | p
——————-
P | PP | Pp |
——————-
p | Pp | pp |
As we can see, only one out of the four squares has two recessive genes. Therefore, our answer would be A - 3:1.
Answer:
leaves more viable offspring than others of its species
Explanation:
Greater fitness is being conferred on an individual organism compared to the other individual member of a species population if that individual does not only just competes favorably for the limited resources available than the rest individuals, but is in fact able to reproduce more rapidly and thereby pass on such favorable traits, which makes them better competitors, to as many of their offspring as possible. Over time, you will find most of the offspring they leave behind more common in the population than the other.
If an individual organism is referred to as having a greater fitness compared to another individual of the same species, what it simply means is that the organism <em>leaves more viable offspring than others of its species</em>.
