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.

If we removed the decomposers from this food web, how would it affect the balance of the ecosystem? A.)There would be an increas
Ymorist [56]

Answer:

A

Explanation:

The dead matter from organisms such as plants and animals that die need to be recycled so the nutrients in the matter are released and used up by other organisms. This is how sustainability is achieved in ecosystems through a cyclical nature of nutrients flow. Decomposition of the dead matter is done by decomposers such as fungi and bacteria. Without them, the dead matter would accumulate while the soil would lack nutrients for plants to grow and for other bacteria to utilize for energy. This would affect the rest of the food chain/web causing the ecosystem to collapse.

Kipish [7]
The answer is (A) stabilizing selection. Stabilizing selection favors the average in a population. In this case, babies that are born at a normal body weight, or an average between the two extremes of underweight and large, tend to have more favorable outcomes.
