In what way might transposons contribute positively to evolution?

Biology

Lubov Fominskaja [6]3 years ago
8 0
<span>Transposons are mobile elements that are very important in the evolution of the eukaryotic genome. </span> <span>For example, transposons are involved in the formation of introns. Evolution often deactivates DNA transposons via RNA interference, leaving them as <span>introns. They are also important in the production of antibody diversity via </span>V(D)J recombination <span>because the mechanism of this recombination is similar to that of some transposons (probably originated from it).</span> Another advantage of these mobile elements is in the formation of interspersed repeats within genomes which are created by transposition. Because interspersed repeats block gene conversion, they protect novel gene sequences from being overwritten by similar gene sequences.</span> <span>Transposons can contain many types of genes.</span>

Artyom0805 [142]

Answer:

The right matching of the scenario in the question are as follows:

5. RESULTS: Julie thought the enchiladas were delicious and exactly the right level of spice.  

6. CONCLUSION: Josh determined that since Julie liked the meal, adding jalapenos to the recipe was a good way to make it spicy.

Explanation:

Scientific method is an organized steps of procedures that scientists used to study and gather knowledge about different phenomenons. The systematic steps of scientific method start with observation, the observed phenomenon usually make a scientist to ask questions that he doesn't have an answer to. This will prompt him to formulate an hypothesis and set up an experiment to see if his hypothesis is true or not. The result he obtains from the experiment will determine the type of conclusion he will make about his earlier observation. By following these steps, scientists usually obtain useful  information that bring progress and advancement to humanity.

Why do pigs wallow in the mud?
MAXImum [283]

Answer: Option B

Pigs wallow in the mud to cool themselves down.

Explanation: Pigs' skin contains lots of fats, and fats serves as thermal insulator during cold (low temperatures); unfortunately, this feature turns becomes a disadvantage during heat (high temperatures). Hence, pigs frequently wallows in the mud (or any nearby cool water place) - to reduce their body temperature.

In E. coli protein synthesis, the initiation complex contains
Ksenya-84 [330]

Answer:

The correct answer will be option-C.

Explanation:

The process of translation in prokaryotes is complex process and proceeds in three steps: initiation, elongation and termination.

1. Ribosomal subunits: 50S (5S and 23S subunit) and 30S (16S and proteins).

2. Initiation factors: IF1, IF-2 and IF-3 which help in the formation of assembly.

3 GTP: guanosine triphosphate as a source of energy.

4. Charged tRNA: with N-formylmethionine is the first amino acid.

5. mRNA: the RNA to be translated.

Since the option contains both 50S and 16S components of ribosome thus, Option-C is the correct answer.
