Blizzard [7]

Answer;

- DNA

-Some additional proof of the endosymbiotic theory includes the similarity in DNA between bacteria and mitochondria and cyanobacteria and chloroplasts.

Explanation;

-According to the endosymbiotic theory;  mitochondria and chloroplasts contain their own circular DNA, similar to DNA in Bacteria, Both mitochondria and chloroplasts are surrounded by two membranes: inner and outer membrane, mitochondria are about the same size as bacteria and also mitochondria appear to have been derived from purple bacteria and chloroplasts derived from photosynthetic bacteria.

Mutations result in changes to genotype that can result in changes in phenotype. Explain how a mutation causes a change in the g
Alecsey [184]

Answer:

A mutation can alter the structure/function of a particular protein, thereby also altering the phenotype resulting from this new variant

Explanation:

A mutation can be defined as a genetic change in the genome of an organism. Some mutations are capable of modifying the expression and/or structure of the proteins, while other mutations (known as silent mutations) have no effect on the resulting proteins. When mutations occur within the gene region encoding a protein (i.e., exons), they are potentially capable of producing a faulty protein. For example, a mutation can alter the Open Reading Frame (ORF) of the resulting protein, thereby inactivating it. The mutations that alter the structure and/or function of the protein can also alter the resulting phenotype associated with the expression of this protein. For example, a mutation within a gene that encodes a key enzyme can potentially alter the binding site of the protein, so the resulting mutated enzyme cannot bind to the substrate anymore. In consequence, this mutation alters the phenotype of the individual who is not more able to carry out the metabolic reaction catalyzed by the faulty enzyme.

Rocky Mountain juniper (Juniperus scopulorum) and one-seeded juniper (J. monosperma) have overlapping ranges. Pollen grains (whi
jarptica [38.1K]

Answer:

The correct answer is: Yes, this is an example of Reproductive Isolation.

Explanation:

  • Reproductive Isolation can be defined as the mechanism adopted by different species during the course of their evolution, due to which the individuals belonging to different species are incapable of mating with each other and producing viable offspring.
  • The given question is an example of Mechanical, Pre-zygotic Reproductive Isolation.
  • Prezygotic Isolation refers to the mechanism adopted by individuals of different species during the course of evolution such that successful fertilisation of gametes from individuals of different species never occur, hence a viable zygote is never formed.
  • Mechanical Isolation refers to the mechanism adopted by individuals of  different species during the course of evolution such that their reproductive organs or the organs that assist in the process of reproduction are incompatible to each other. Hence, the gametes of each species are unable to come in vicinity of each other.
  • Here, the pollen grain from the flower of one species of juniper is unable to form the pollen tube when its sits on the stigma of the flower of another species of juniper. This is an example of Mechanical Isolation.
