Answer:

A) exon shuffling

Explanation:

Exon shuffling refers to the process of evolution of a new gene that consists of unique combinations of preexisting exons. These novel combinations of preexisting exons are formed when the interspersed repeats of introns of two different genes undergo the process of recombination.

The process of exon reshuffling is responsible for the presence of common domains between two otherwise different proteins of eukaryotes.

Example: Tissue plasminogen activator and epidermal growth factor are very different proteins but share the EGF domain.

Where could the instructions be held to create a protein?
FromTheMoon [43]

Answer:

The correct answer is - in DNA molecules.

Explanation:

The instructions or the information for the creation of the protein is held in the DNA molecule inside the nucleus in eukaryotic organisms while present in the cytoplasm in prokaryotes.

The DNA molecule has coded all the information for the particular protein by the two processes transcription and translation. Transcription is the first step which makes a copy of the DNA is complementary in the form of mRNA, The second step involves the decoding mRNA into an amino acid chain with the help of ribosomes.

Do you think Peacocks would be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium? Why or why not?
Slav-nsk [51]

Peacocks would not be in Hardy-Weinberg Equilibrium

Explanation:

This can be justified by the mating patterns of the female peacocks. They do not choose their mates randomly but look out specifically for bright attractive plumage in their male partners and then select them.

Hardy-Weinberg's Equilibrium of evolution mechanism was based on facts like random mating, no natural selection,  mutation, absence of gene flow, and infinite population size.

They stated that organisms mate randomly with each other without any specific or a particular preference in the phenotypes of their opposite mates
