Answer: Mutations in gamete cells.

Explanation:

Mutations in gamete cells, called germinal mutations, occurs in reproductive cells that fully develops to ovum and sperm. When a mutated sperm or egg cell (genetically altered) come together to form a zygote during fertilization, they pass down that mutation to their offspring and it stands a chance of being inherited by future generations. It is through random germinal mutations that evolution occurs.

Which statement best shows the relationship of the concepts of evolution and natural selection? Explain how you got your answer.

RideAnS [48]

b. Natural selection is an example of the major mechanism by which evolution occurs

Explanation:

The concept of evolution are both closely related in that natural selection is the major mechanism by which evolution occurs. This was proposed by Charles Darwin after his journey to the Galapagos Island on the HMS Beagle.

Evolution is the change in the characteristics of an organism over several generations.
Organisms evolved to in order to be at an advantage and naturally favored.
According to Charles Darwin, organisms evolved by the process of natural selection.
Natural selection is the process by which an organism becomes adapted to its environment.
Organisms with desirable trait are naturally favored with competitive and reproductive advantage in the environment.

A molecule of bacterial DNA introduced into a yeast cell is imported into the nucleus but fails to replicate with the yeast DNA.

Butoxors [25]

Answer:

Initiator proteins.

Explanation:

DNA replication may be defined as the process of formation of daughter DNA strand from the template parental strand. Three main process of DNA replication are initiation, elongation and termination.

The bacterial DNA is fail to replicate in yeast cells because the DNA is not able to show initiation in yeast cells. Initiation process is important to start the DNA replication. The specific proteins and polymerase are required in different organism. There is problem in initiation proteins that fails to initiate DNA replication.

Thus, the answer is initiator proteins.
