A population of snakes that eat small rodents enters a new habitat. In the new habitat, there are many species of rodents, and t

heir populations are high because there are few natural predators. What will most likely be the effect on the genetic variation of the snake population?
Genetic variation will increase because of a selective pressure.

Genetic variation will increase because of a new habitat and food source.

Genetic variation will decrease because of a selective pressure.

Genetic variation will decrease because of a new habitat and food source.

Answer:

The correct answer is the 2nd statement.

Explanation:

Genetic variation signifies the naturally taking place genetic differences, which prevails between the individuals of similar species. Genetic variation is essential as it permits the individuals to thrive better in a given surrounding.  

In the mentioned case, when the snakes enter a novel habitat, they came across a condition where there are lesser natural predators and because of this they had enough food and less competition. Therefore, no selective pressure is exhibited to affect genetic variation.  

Additionally, in the availability of enough food and non-existence of competition, the genetic variation will only enhance. Thus, in the mentioned case, the genetic variation of the snakes enhances because of the food source and new habitat.

Which enzyme catalyzes the elongation of a DNA strand in the 5' → 3' direction by adding nucleotides to the end of a growing DNA
Ivan

Answer:

DNA polymerase

Explanation:

DNA polymerase enzyme catalyses the reaction of adding nucleotide to growing complementary daughter strand of DNA in the direction of 5' → 3' during elongation in the process of replication. This process requires energy which is taken from nucleotides with three phosphate groups in their backbone similar to ATP (adenine triphosphate)

DNA Replication is when DNA multiplies and make exact copies of itself as part of gene transfer.

Why is recombinant dna also referred to as genetic engineering?
aev [14]
Recombinant DNA is DNA that has been created using intelligent design methods to modify a base DNA molecule using DNA component elements from other strands of DNA of other organisms. There are a wide range of possible DNA elements that can be removed, added to or otherwise modified to produce the new recombinant form.

Recombinant DNA technology clearly is genetic engineering using intelligent design as the selection and placement of the added DNA components must be planned and precisely selected and placed to accomplish the intended result. It does not happen naturalistically.

There are numerous aspects of the growing technology of recombinant DNA that modify DNA to serve the purpose of the intelligent designers, including wide ranges of research, medicine, synthetic biology, potential commercial products and even scientific curiosity.
