Answer:

Professional gardeners often soak seeds in hydrogen peroxide before planting them in order to increase the germination percentage or to reduce germination failure. When the seeds are soaked in hydrogen peroxide, the seed coat becomes soft and enzymes present in the seed becomes active. Due to soaking of seeds, the seed takes less time to germinate. So that's why gardeners uses this method.

Genetic drift simulation: understanding evolution

sleet_krkn [62]

Answer:

Genetic drift is a mechanism of evolution in which allele frequencies of a population change over generations due to chance (sampling error).

Genetic drift occurs in all populations of non-infinite size, but its effects are strongest in small populations.

Genetic drift may result in the loss of some alleles (including beneficial ones) and the fixation.

Genetic drift can have major effects when a population is sharply reduced in size by a natural disaster (bottleneck effect) or when a small group splits off from the main population to found a colony (founder effect).

A simple diagram of a DNA molecule is shown below. Which of the following is represented by X?

Reil [10]

Answer:

From the diagram X = <u>base pairs</u>

Explanation:

Genetic information stored within DNA is used for growth, reproduction, and cell repair. DNA, deoxyribonucleic acids, are long-chain, helical macromolecules made of specific sequences of covalently bonded monomers called nucleotides.

Nucleotides comprise:

a 5-Carbon deoxyribose sugar,
one nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine thymine, and cytosine)
and a phosphate group.

Nitrogenous bases cause nucleotides to form hydrogen bonds with other nucleotides as base-pairs. The four types of bases each make the nucleotides Thymine and Cytosine (pyrimidine bases) along with Guanine, and Adenine, (purine bases). In base-pair formation, Adenine forms double bonds with Thymine, and cytosine forms triple bonds with guanine.
