A gene exists in two alleles, which we will call B and b. The gene is 1123 bp in length, and the B and b alleles exhibit single

base pair differences at six different sites. If gene conversion changed the b allele into the B allele, which mechanism would you favor to explain the conversion

Answer:

The below options will complete the question

Select one:

a. Gap repair synthesis

b. Mismatch repair

c. Direct repair

d. Nucleotide excision repair

Our answer is surely A.

a. Gap repair synthesis

Explanation:

Alleles of gene B differ by 6 bps and are seeming close to each other among the 1123 bp within the particular gene, favouring the gap repair synthesis.

In the gap repair synthesis, a double stranded break is formed at a homologous chromosome with a small part of the gene or the 6 bps of the recessive allele

being digested away.

Strand invasion and a D-loop formation is followed by the new region being occupied by the dominant B allele to yielding dominant B allele in both chromosomes.

The gap repair synthesis allows the 6bps to be converted to the dominant B from the recessive b when in proximity/being close together.

Consider the food chain grasshopper mouse snakes hawks. If snakes go extinct what will happen to the food chain
Radda [10]

Answer:

This can actually cause a major problem if the number of grasshoppers were to increase out of control. They eat plants and the number of plants,which are the basis of the food chain, could severely decrease which would impact all of the levels operating above this trophic level.

How can Natural selection account for the long snout of an anteater?

This is the process by which organisms acquire and pass on novel traits through generations.
Deffense [45]

The correct answer is biological evolution.

Biological evolution refers to the procedure via which the features of species modify over consecutive generations, by means of natural selection and genetic variation. It is most usually illustrated as modifications in the frequencies of the gene in the populations.

Evolution by natural selection is one of the followed authenticated theories in the history of science, encouraged by proof from a broad kind of scientific disciplines involving geology, palaeontology, developmental biology, and genetics.

After watching the video on flooding, what would be a major change that can
Delicious77 [7]

Answer:

Both

Explanation:

Depends on what happened in that video. I would rewatch it and write about what the video said about flooding and relate it to the river. Could be an ice jam or something else slowing the flow of water suddenly opened up. A breaking dam? Flash floods from an abundance of rain. As the amount of water in the river increases, so does the flow rate. If the amount of water suddenly increases more than the river was used to/it could hold, it will flood.

Rewatch the video and see if this relates at all :)
