Homologous recombination occurs in a heterozygote in which alleles D and d differ by a single base pair. The D allele has a G (a

GC base pair) at one position, whereas the d allele has a C (a CG base pair) at the same position. If branch migration causes heteroduplex formation across this position, what is the expected outcome?
a. Both D and d alleles will remain unchanged because G can base pair with C.
b. Mismatch repair will identify abnormal G-G and C-C base pairs and may convert the D allele to a d allele or the d allele to a D allele.
c. Mismatches will cause the Holliday junction to be unstable and to resolve by the noncrossover pathway.
d. Mismatch repair will identify abnormal G-G and C-C base pairs and gene conversion will always occur in situations like this one when mismatched bases exist within the heteroduplex region.
e. Mismatch repair will identify an abnormal C-G base pair and will ensure that the cell has two copies of each allele.

Answer:

b. Mismatch repair will identify abnormal G-G and C-C base pairs and may convert the D allele to a d allele or the d allele to a D allele.

Explanation:

The expected outcome if branch migration occurs is that mismatch repair will identify abnormal G-G and C-C base pairs and may convert the D allele to a d allele or the d allele to a D allele.

Describe a characteristic of both an Emperor Penguin and Galapagos Penguin that evolved differently due to their different envir
nevsk [136]

Answer: The size.

Explanation: On the one hand the Emperor Penguin is bigger reaching up to 48 Inches (120cm) of height and 100 Lb in weight, on the other hand the Galápagos Penguin is much smaller. For example a large adult usually goes up to 21 Inches (53cm) and 5 Lb of weight.

This is directly related to the temperature of the environment in which each one develops, because a body exchanges heat in two dimensions through the surface. So, it's easier for a big creature to maintain core temperature stable.

This is really important in environments like the Arctic where temperature goes below zero and the opposite happen in the Equator where there is a tropical weather all the time.
