Answer:

One of the RNA molecules has experienced gene duplication as the result of translocation.

Explanation:

Translocation and duplication are some of the structural abnormalities in the chromosomes that may even cause certain genetic disorders. Duplication is the presence of a genetic segment for more than one time in the chromosome. The repeated genetic segments are mostly present in the tandem pattern. When a chromosome fragment breaks off and attaches to a non-homologous chromosome, it is called translocation. It leads to the deletion of a genetic segment in one chromosome and duplication in the other.

According to the given information, a genetic segment bearing two genes is detached from one RNA and gets attached to the other RNA molecule of the HIV genome. Therefore, the RNA molecule has undergone translocation and has lost a genetic segment while the other has gained a genetic segment (duplication) due to translocation.

Why is soil erosion important to agriculture?
Alexxx [7]

Answer:

Soil erosion causes siltation in rivers, dams, etc. In some areas, huge river deltas are formed (such as River Nile delta) because of soil erosion. Such places are good for agriculture but not good for urbanization. However, some people do not care about it, they just want to construct buildings on alluvium type soils.
