Answer:
B. The mutation results in a new, dominant allele
C. The mutation occurs in a gene that controls development and alters differentiation of a cell type during development.
D. The mutation occurs in a codon and alters the function of the final protein
Explanation:
All the above things will change the <u>ultimate expression</u> or phenotype by altering the proteins. Choices B, C, and D will all change the outer functioning.
Choice A only affects the rate of transcription, so it may go faster or slower, but the end product will be the same.
This part that doesn't look like it's one of the choices ("The mutation occurs in a portion of an intron not responsible for exon splicing.") would not affect phenotype, because introns are removed before the RNA is sent out.
Choice E says that the amino acid sequence is unchanged, meaning the protein final product will be the same and the expression will not change.
Answer:
Lemur
Explanation:
It is the lemur, because 4/5 DNA sequences differ from the gorilla!!
Answer:
b) At equilibrium, the species composition of an island will not change.
Explanation:
The Theory of Island Biogeography written by Robert H. MacArthur and Edward O. Wilson (1967) is an essential book for any professional working in biogeography, biodiversity, ecology, conservation and related fields. The theory of island biogeography states that species diversity on islands tends to approach a dynamic equilibrium due to the balance between colonization (inmigration), speciation and extinction. At equilibrium, the species composition of an island will change, precisely at the time that immigration and extinction processes maintain the number of species in a dynamic equilibrium, thereby maintaining species diversity. In this case, the colonization rate represents a function of distance to the continent (or other islands), the extinction rate is a function of the size of the island and habitat heterogeneity, and speciation is a function of time. This book also contains a series of useful considerations: 1-the number of species in an area is directly associated with the size of the area; 2-large islands support more diverse communities than small islands; 3-the viability of populations on island systems can be considered as a function of the island size and its proximity to the mainland (or other islands); and 4- when a habitat is lost the remaining fragmented area may lose some of its important species.
