Imagine there are 25 different species of protists living in a tide pool. Some of these speciesreproduce both sexually and asexu

ally, and some of them can reproduce only asexually. The poolgradually becomes infested with disease-causing viruses and bacteria. Which species are morelikely to thrive in the changing environment?
A)the asexually reproducing species
B)cannot tell from this information-survival will depend on a variety of other factors
C)Sexually and asexually reproducing species are equally likely to thrive.
D)the sexually reproducing species

Answer:

D)the sexually reproducing species

Explanation:

  • Sexual reproduction is a mode of reproduction in which two parents are required to generate an offspring.
  • As this mode of reproduction requires two parents, the genetic composition of the offspring is a mixture of both the parents and hence, sexual reproduction gives rise to genetic variation.
  • Genetic variation is essential to survive in a changing environment as it can lead to the development of certain characters that prove to be essential for survival.
  • Therefore, if there are 25 different species of protists in the tide pool, it is the sexually reproducing species that will be able to thrive in the changing environment as their offsprings will have genetic variation and this may lead to a positive natural selection.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the effect a nonsense mutation would have on a gene?a) It changes an amino
TEA [102]

Answer:

c) It introduces a premature stop codon into the mRNA

Explanation:

Nonsense mutation is a type of point mutation (single nucleotide base is changed) which leads to premature stop codon. Stop codons are also called nonsense codons and that is way this type of mutation is called nonsense mutation. As a consequence, synthesized protein is incomplete and shorter than it should be (truncated protein), usually nonfunctional.

ser-zykov [4K]

Answer:

The two forms interbreed and their offspring survive and reproduce well.

Explanation:

When talking about classification of species, one of the first features observed is the species fitness, which describes the reproductive success or their ability to leave to their successive generations the most copies of their genotype. When different species that were recently divided into 2, by geographic isolation, for instance, usually there is no genetic compatibility, and if its possible to produce offspring, there might be some development issues like infertility.
