Answer:

Mutation

Explanation:

Mutations can be defined as changes in genetic material, which are the main source of existing genetic variation. For ensuring genetic variability, that is, ensuring that individuals have different DNA, mutations are considered an important point in the evolution of living beings.

It is through mutations that important adaptive characteristics emerge, in addition to essential characteristics remaining in species that are different but that have similarities.

These processes also guarantees the selection of species most adapted species.  Mutations can be beneficial, neutral or harmful (genetic diseases or genetic "failures") and, therefore, are not targeted, occurring at <u>random</u>.

Answer:

The correct answer will be options-B and D

Explanation:

The studies on the history of origin and evolution of life on Earth shows that all the organisms have evolved from a common descendant. This indicates that they possessed the same chemical-genetic or heredity molecule called Nucleic acid whether DNA or RNA.

DNA acts as the universal genetic material as it is present in all organisms except few. The process related to the DNA molecule is the same in all the organisms.

Since in the given question, the transfer of genes to plants via <em>Agrobacterium</em> and then the expression of the gene in plants shows that the passing of DNA has no barrier as  DNA is the genetic material and the enzyme RNA polymerase recognized the gene which could help produce the mRNA from the gene.

Thus, options-B and D is the correct answer.

vaieri [72.5K]

Answer:

B. Stabilizing selection.

Explanation:

In a population, natural selection can favor one of the many phenotypes present. Directional selection is the phenomena where one of the extreme phenotypes is favored. Disruptive selection is the phenomena where both the extreme phenotypes are favored over the average phenotype. In stabilizing selection, the extreme phenotypes are not preferred so that maximum organisms fall under the average category.

Here, low spine number cacti are being eaten by peccaries and high spine number cacti are being eaten by a parasite. Both of these extreme phenotypes are under attack which will favor the cacti with average number of spines to survive. Hence, this is an example of stabilizing selection.
