Random changes in allele frequency in a population are usually called genetic drift. The reason why this is the answer is because it is a very specific word which is used to describe exactly that - random changes in allele frequency.
All the other cases; answers, here aren't correct and don't apply.
Taxonomy is the branch of Science, in which
we study the Classification of Organisms. On discovering an unknown organism,
begin classification by looking for anatomical features that appear to have the
same function as those found on other species.
In order to correctly classify an organism,
scientists use many modern tools.
1.Morphology describes the physical
characteristics of an organism. Typically, this is enough information to place
the organism within a domain and kingdom.
2.DNA and biochemical analysis allow
scientists to test less visible, but distinguishing, characteristics.
3.Comparing embryology allows scientists to
group organisms that share common fetal development.
<span>4.Evolutionary
phylogeny describes the evolutionary relationships between organisms.</span>These
relationships are deduced based on shared traits that may have been passed from
ancestor to new species. Traits
may include physical traits (ex. presence of jaws), or may be genetic traits
(shared genes).
<h2>Scurvy </h2>
Explanation:
(a) Collagen is the major structural component of cartilage,bones and tendons
- The basic unit of collagen is tropocollagen and each tropocollagen consists of three coiled left handed polypeptide chains called α chains
- Generally each α chain consists of a repeating tripeptide sequence called: G-X-Y
- Here G represents glycine; X represents proline and Y represents hydroxyproline
- Rigidity of collagen molecule is due to presence of proline and hydroxyproline
- Hydroxylation of proline is catalysed by prolyl hydroxylase enzyme which use ascorbate,α ketoglutarate and oxygen
- α ketoglutarate is oxidatively decarboxylated to form carbon dioxide and succinate
- Sequence of events leading from a dietary vitamin C deficiency to symptoms such as bruising and breakdown of supporting tissues includes: tissue levels of ascorbic acid is low; enzyme prolyl hydroxylase is inactive; proline is not hydroxylated; the triple helix is inadequately stabilized; collagen breaks down; defects in tissues that depend on collagen
; tissues that depend on collagen are subject to breakdown and bruising
(b) Sailors are no longer susceptible to scurvy because fresh fruits which are the source of vitamin C source are available now
British sailors called "limeys" to this day,this term reflects the British navy's use of limes
Answer: Clostridium botulinium
Explanation:
An anaerobic bacteria is an organism which does not require oxygen for it's survival. It may not survive or die in the presence of oxygen. These bacteria are used for the process of fermentation for the preparation of beverage and dairy products.
Clostridium botulinium is the example of the anaerobic bacteria. It is found in soil or marine environment in the form of spores. This bacteria is rod shaped. It forms the spores when the conditions for survival is poor. It causes a disease called as botulism.
