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

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>

During what stage does land get ready for the arrival of a new species
34kurt

Answer

           The correct option is B.

Explanation

          Ecological succession of any species is composed of following stages:

A. Migration

            The movement of species from one place to another location for the purpose of setting permanently o temporary is known as migration . Forexample

             Siberian crane (<em>Leucogeranus leucogeranus</em>) that live in the arctic tundra of eastern and western Russia. The eastern population of birds migrate to china while western population of these birds migrate to Iran, India and Nepal during winter season.

B. Ecesis

         The complete establishment of species in new habitat that was completely barren or left barren due to some catastrophe is known as Ecesion. This process is dependent upon the climatic, edaphic and biotic factors. The success of plant depend upon some of the adaptations to withstand the unfavorable conditions which includes both biotic and abiotic conditions.

Forexample

               The process of succession in xerosphere start on barren area from pioneer stage covered by crustose lichen, then foliose lichen followed by moss stage, herbaceous stage and a last by shrub stage.

C. Nudation

       The initiation of new species by major environmental disturbance such as volcano eruption is known as Nudation.

D. Reaction

            It represents the effect of established species on the habitat. Forexample plants alter habitat condition as they grow. They extract raw materials from the environment in large amounts and return metabolic wastes. The waste accumulates in large amounts and differ from the original raw materials, thus altering the environment.  

E. Competition

             The phenomenon which involves struggle for existence between two or more individuals growing in same area, that make excessive demand that are similar in nature on the soil is known as competition.

Such struggle may be in between same species or different species. The competition may be interspecific or intraspecific. Because of completion the weak individuals are eliminated as strong ones are retained.

What forms When animal cells are almost finished dividing during telophase and is the point where they will split
salantis [7]

In telophase, the cell is nearly done dividing, and it starts to re-establish its normal structures as cytokinesis (division of the cell contents) takes place. The mitotic spindle is broken down into its building blocks. Two new nuclei form, one for each set of chromosomes.
