Answer:
e. horizontal transfer of genes from a marine bacterium
Explanation:
Horizontal gene transfer is the transfer of genetic material from one independent mature bacterium to another and creates new gene combinations in the recipient bacterium. It mostly occurs between the bacterial of different species and is responsible for the spread of new genetic traits such as antibiotic resistance, digestion of specific substances, virulence, etc.
Transfer of genetic material from the donor to host bacteria can occur in three ways: transformation, transduction, and conjugation. According to the given information, marine Bacteroidetes have enzymes required to digest porphyran and agarose. <em>B. plebeius</em> might have acquired the genes for these enzymes from marine Bacteroidetes by horizontal gene transfer. This resulted in its ability to digest the marine seaweed while its close relative species cannot do so.
Growth is the right answer, because ecdysis or moulting term is associated with shedding of exoskeleton . Snakes do so to increase in size and for development
Answer:
A cell carries out it's normal functions during mitosis
Considering the following statements;
A. The trait is the same for all organisms
B. The trait is resistant to mutations
C. Most forms of the trait have the same impact on survival
D. The trait is passed on genetically to the next generation
The correct answer is D.
Genetic variation is essential for natural selection since natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. Genetic variation is caused by mutation and random mating organisms.
Answer:
0,58
Explanation:
Mice are diploid (2n) organisms, which means that their cells contain two complete sets of homo-logous chromosomes (i.e., they have two copies of any given <em>locus</em>/gene). An allele can be defined as a variant of a gene, whereas diploid (2n) organisms have two alleles at each genetic <em>locus</em>, which are located on homo-logous chromosomes. In this case, we know that there are 580 dominant alleles in a population of 500 individuals, thereby the total number of alleles in this population is 1000 (2n >> 500 x 2 = 1000 alleles), and the frequency of the dominant allele is 0,58 (580/1000 = 0,58).
