In populations of all living things, there is a variation of different traits. This is important for the process of evolution and natural selection because if the individuals in the population vary in size, shape, color or any other morphological or physiological trait, the individuals can be more or less successful because of them and therefore natural selection can filter the variations that are the fittest for that environment.

According to the question, within a population of fish, genetic variation exists in the form of body color.

In the population of all living things, there is a variation of different traits---these traits are as a result of the 'genetic variation' or the different make-ups of genes in the living organism.

<h2>Further Explanation</h2>

The genes are the inherited segments of the DNA. These Genes exist in alternate versions, or alleles which determine distinct traits that can then be passed on from parents to offspring.

Within a population of fish, genetic variation exists in the form of body color. While some fish are orange, some fish are red. This is because the population of fish lives on an orange reef bed.

Fish that are orange tend to blend in and resist predation. Due to such ability, they are likely to survive to reproduce. In this manner, natural selection is driving evolution.

Genetic variation or how genes constitute to offspring is an essential process of evolution and natural selection for all living organism, including the fishes.

Fish produce many offspring which inherit the genes for body color. After several generations, one can expect the fish population to have a larger portion of orange species compared to the red species.

Paragraph about Photosynthesis

lions [1.4K]

Answer:

Photosynthesis is the process of making food by green plants in the presence of sunlight.

Explanation:

During Day, sunlight enters through stomata and carbon dioxide from air and water forms glucose and oxygen. This process is photosynthesis.

Answer:

1. The difference between the normal hemoglobin protein DNA sequence and the sickle cell hemoglobin DNA sequence is a base to base shift, in this case adenine (GAG) to thymine (GTG).

2. The difference affects the amino acid sequence of the protein by replacing glutamic acid (Glu) with valine (Val).

Explanation:

In sickle cell anemia, a change in the DNA nucleotide sequence is observed, where adenine is substituted by thymine, whose expression is the change in the amino acid sequence of globine β, incorporating valine instead of glutamic acid. This represents a molecular mutation - point mutation - by subtitution, which corresponds to missense mutation.

Normal hemoglobin protein in a RBC

DNA CTG ACT CCT GAG GAG AAG TCT

Amino acids Leu Thr Pro Glu Glu Lys Ser

Sickle cell hemoglobin protein in a RBC

DNA CTG ACT CCT GTG GAG AAG TCT

Amino acids Leu Thr Pro Val Glu Lys Ser

When GAG is transcribed to mRNA, the CUC codon is obtained, which codes for glutamic acid. Thymine substitution causes the DNA sequence to change to GTG, which is transcribed as CAC, the codon that encodes the amino acid valine. The change from glutamic acid to valine in β-globin causes an altered hemoglobin, giving the abnormal erythrocytes observed in sickle cell disease.

Question 14(Multiple Choice Worth 2 points)

balu736 [363]

The answer is D. The Protista have very little in common with each other besides being unicellular and Eukaryota.

Protista is one of kingdom that consist of any eukaryotic that could not classified as plant, animal or fungi. Since the classification itself based on exclusion, protist group has much less similarity than other group. All protist is unicellular and eukaryote but other than that, they will have many difference in other aspect.
