Answer:

The induction of galls in plants represented both morphological and physiological modifications of plant organs and tissues caused by endophage insects.

In the case of wasps, the relationship they have is of parasitic coexistence, therefore the gills become smaller.

 On the other hand, with birds the relationship is different since sometimes they usually feed on gills, their size is larger.

As for beetles, the size is intermediate.

Explanation:

The natural selection and the environment of the gills is what makes the size of said living being, this theory can be explained by means of the principles that Darwin proposed with the evolutionary theory.

Answer:

a. Modes of selection exerted by wasps: <u>directional (positive) and stabilizing</u>

If the galls are small in size, wasps are able to penetrate through and easily feed off of it. Hence, an average or large gall size of Eurosta is more likely to survive. 

b. Modes of selection exerted by birds: <u>directional (negative) and stabilizing</u>

Birds will get attracted to large sized galls. Hence, the average and smaller sized galls of Eurosta are more likely to survive 

c. Mode of selection exerted by beetles: <u>disruptive</u>

Beetles favor feeding on the average sized galls of Eurosta. Hence, the two extreme sizes - small and large galls of Eurosta - are more likely to survive. This will give two peaks if allele frequencies are plotted on a graph.

What is the function of mRNA?
stich3 [128]

mRNA

Messenger RNA is used to copy and encode genetic information from DNA base pairs by forming complementary strand of RNA molecule from the nucleus of the cell to the cytoplasm.

tRNA

Transfer RNA reads sequence of nucleotide from messenger RNA and translate them into proteins or amino acids during proten synthesis.

Transcription

This is the first step in gene expression where information from DNA is copied into a complementary strand of RNA molecule using RNA polymerase enzyme.

Translation

Messenger RNA made from the process of transcription travels to the ribosomes in the cytoplasm where proteins are produced using transfer RNA to copy the information.

The use of DNA to make proteins.

Through gene expression (central dogma of biology), the DNA molecule carries information, a gene code, in form of base pairing sequences that are transcribed to RNA and further translated to functional proteins or amino acids.

Answer:

mitosis

Explanation:

Gametes are produced by mitosis (not meiosis) and after fertilization a diploid zygote is created. The single zygote cell never grows or divides my mitosis. It can only divide by meiosis to produce haploid cells once more, which then produce the main adult body.
