Some of your DNA may not code for any protein and has no known function in gene regulation; it is sometimes referred to as "junk

" DNA. How do nucleotide sequences of "junk DNA" evolve?

Answer: They evolve through genetic drift.

Explanation: <u>Junk DNA refers to noncoding sections of a genome</u>. It consists of repeated segments scattered randomly throughout the genome generated through transposition or movement of sections of DNA to different positions in the genome.

Genetic drift is the change in the frequency of an allele in a population due to random sampling of organisms. This process is caused by spontaneous mutations and may cause the alleles to disappear completely and thereby reduce genetic variation. <u>Many of these genetic alterations are in regions of "junk DNA"</u>

SOMEONE PLZ HELP!!! How does immigration and emigration apply to human population growth?
Temka [501]
Immigration and emigration is typically done with the purpose of looking forward to a better and more prosperous life, a more comfortable life where the money you earn can last you a pretty long time and buy you enough thing to live more comfortable than where you used to live. Therefore, when you move to a prosperous country, having children is not something you’ll worry about given to the commodities you’ll have and the easy access to baby food and baby clothes and stuff, therefore, when people emigrate/immigrate to more prosperous countries, they’re comfortable with the idea of having more children, and that leading to population growth.

How can you distinguish a clastic rock from that of a bioclastic rock
IRISSAK [1]

<u>Bioclastic</u> rocks are actually sub-parts of <u>clastic</u> rocks, not a completely different thing altogether.

<u>Clastic</u> rocks are made up of loosened bits of pre-existing rocks. These rocks are formed from weathering, breaking those larger rocks down into little particles (for example, a grain of sand) due to external weather factors such as wind or rain. Some examples of these rocks would be sandstone, conglomerate, and silistone. They are classified by the size and shape of the fragments they are made up of.

<u>Bioclastic</u> rocks are also made up of loosened bits, however, they are not made of rock. They are made of fossils and biogenic (made by living organisms) particles (for example, pieces of shells and coral). These rocks are formed from small parts of pre-existing organisms compacting together to form a rock. Examples of this type of rock would be coquina and limestone, or more specifically, bioclastic limestone. Bioclastic rocks have a very crystalline texture and it is highly likely that you will see a shell in this rock type.

Explain how parts of a glucose molecule are used to make amino acids.
ladessa [460]

Glucose particles are ingested from gastrointestinal cells into the circulatory system. The circulation system then, at that point, conveys the glucose particles all through the body. Glucose enters every cell of the body and is involved by the cells mitochondrion as fuel.
