Mutations lead to genetic variation by making random changes in an organism's genetic code. This can causes a different protein to be created or none at all.

Animals of the same species may have offspring with mutations. If these mutations are an advantage to the animal then it will survive to produce its own fertile offspring. More and more will have the mutation and therefore cause a variation.

Answer:

Phosphodiester bonds:"It is a co-v-a-l-e-n-t bond in which a phosphate group joins adjacent carbons through ester linkages."

The 3’-end has a free hydroxyl group at the 3’-carbon of a sugar, and the 5’end has a free hydroxyl group or phosphate group at the 5’-carbon of a sugar.

Explanation:

Option- E: Is The best option to Choose from.

Which of the following statements is NOT true regarding ATP production in muscles during periods of prolonged energy use, such a

Marysya12 [62]

Answer:

C.In the absence of oxygen, creatine phosphate can drive aerobic respiration pathways for a few minutes.

Explanation:

C. In the absence of oxygen, creatine phosphate can drive aerobic respiration pathways for a few minutes.

This statement not true for a following reasons.

Firstly, creatine phosphate directly phosphorylates ATP instead of providing any support for aerobic pathways.

Secondly, creatine phosphate stores are used up in about 15 seconds only. Thirdly, a cell does not need oxygen deficit for creatine phosphate to be activated, it just needs to be short on ATP.

Explain how the work of the following folks contributed to the development of the Theory of Natural Selection

EleoNora [17]

Thomas Malthus was economist who proposed that human populations grow faster than the resources they depend on which becomes limiting factor for them, causing the increase of populations but also increase of famine and diseases. As a consequence, the weakest members die. Darwin linked this with the “survival of the fittest" (naturals elections favors the best suited for reproduction and survival).

Georges Cuvier was anti-evolutionist and religious man, but he did have influence on Darwin theory of evolution (natural selection). He was against linear system of classification so, his believes that there is more than one lineage for species helped Darwin shaped his theory.

Charles Lyell geologists who believed that geologic processes that were at the beginning of time were the same ones that were happening at the current time (processes work the same way through time). He explained that slow changes built up over time, so Darwin linked that with the way that life on Earth changes. (small adaptations that accumulated over long periods of time change a species).
