Discontinuous variation <span> refer to large, conspicuous differences from the parents</span>
This is where individuals fall into a number of distinct categories, and is based on features that cannot be measured across a complete range
continious variation refer to small, indistinct differences from the normal condition.
Milk yield in cows, for example, is determined not only by their genetic make-up but is also significantly affected by environmental factors such as pasture quality and diet, weather, and the comfort of their surroundings

AZT is a reverse transcriptase inhibitor. How does this drug prevent the replication of a retrovirus

Artemon [7]

Answer:

AZT is a thymidine analog

Explanation:

Azidothymidine (AZT) is an antiviral drug used for the treatment of the Human immunodeficiency virus infection (HIV/AIDS) by preventing the transmission of HIV from infected cells. AZT is capable of suppressing the activity of the enzyme reverse transcriptase of the retroviral HIV genome, which enables it to copy RNA into DNA. In infected cells, this double-stranded DNA is integrated into the host genome which is then instructed to produce identical HIV copies. AZT is a thymidine analog that is incorporated into DNA and thus interferes with DNA synthesis, thereby inhibiting cell proliferation.

Introns and transposons can act as sites where recombinational crossovers occur. Transposons can also catalyze genetic rearrange

Feliz [49]

Answer:

False

Explanation:

Rearrangements on introns and transposons usually don't cause severe consequences because those sequences are not part of coding genes and therefore cannot code for proteins, and if a rearrangement occur within a coding sequence of a gene might cause an incomplete and non-functional protein causing severe consequences to expression levels of that particular gene.
