An example of a population in which evolution could take place in a relatively short period of time could be pathogenic bacteria exposed to antibiotics.

Answer: Option A

<u>Explanation:</u>

Evolution if takes place within a short period of time say the next generation that is called as micro evolution. This is caused when a specific organism exposed in a different environment at once modifies its genes to suit the new environment. This phenomenon can be very well seen in the pathogenic bacteria which are exposed to antibiotics.

When an antibiotic is prescribed to bacteria initially it nullifies its effect by destroying it. When continuously exposed to a certain antibiotic some bacteria dies but there are few which becomes resistant to it and survives. This on the other hand multiplies producing a generation that can’t be touched by the antibiotic.

Answer:

Endoplasmic reticulum.

Explanation:

Protein synthesis, sorting and transport is the important mechanism for the synthesis of protein in the body and the transport of the protein to its specific site or organ. The protein must reaches to its final destination for its proper functioning.

KDEL ( K- leucine, D is aspartic acid, E is glutamic acid and L is lysine ) is the stretch of a specific amino acid that are responsible for the protein molecule to target at its specific site. KDEL is specific for the transport of peptides to the endoplasmic reticulum.

Why cannot a population keep increasing forever in an ecosystem?

Dmitrij [34]

A population cannot continue to increase forever because each population has a carrying capacity, which is the max number of organisms that can live in an environment with the available resources. At some point, each population will hit their carrying capacity when they run out of resources.
