Amoeba sisters video recap: Genetic Drift

Biology
1 answer:
Sunny_sXe [5.5K]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Genetic drift is simply a change in the frequency of alleles in a population.

Like shown in the comic A, there are different genes present on chromosomes. All of these genes are made up of a pair of alleles. These alleles determine the genotype and the resulting phenotype of an organism.

If none of the alleles is favored by the environment, then a population will have equal no.of all the variant forms of a trait. Like shown in the comic B, both the green and the grey animals are favored equally.

But if natural selection occurs and one form of the allele variant is favored, then a genetic drift will occur. Most of the organisms will have the alleles which are favored by the environment. Like shown in Comic C, where the grey alleles are favored more than the green alleles.

Which of the following statements correctly describes the difference between the leading and the lagging strands of DNA during D
Mrrafil [7]

The answer is; A & C

The lagging strand is replicated in fragments called Okazaki fragments, each initiated by a primer. The fragments are later joined into one strand by DNA ligase. Replication occurs by adding nucleotides to the 3’ end of a preceding nucleotide. Because the lagging strand is antiparallel to the leading strand, the replication of the lagging strand is in the opposite direction as the replication fork direction. This is why the lagging strand is replicated in fragments because replication is being carried out by a single DNA polymerase (moving in the direction of the replication fork) per replication fork.

Control of (blank) synthesis is the key to controlling the chemical pathway of the cell.
strojnjashka [21]
Controlling the synthesis of proteins is the key to controlling the chemical pathways in the cell.
This is because proteins have key roles in many chemical reactions in the cell.
The most important proteins for the chemical reactions in the cell are enzymes.
Enzymes catalyze many chemical reactions, therefore, the control of the enzyme synthesis is a direct way of controlling other chemical reactions in the cell.

Why can’t a virus reproduce on its own?
monitta

Answer:

<h3>Viruses can only replicate themselves by infecting a host cell and therefore cannot reproduce on their own.</h3>

<h3>At the most basic level, viruses consist of genetic material contained within a protective protein coat called a capsid; the existence of both genetic material and protein distinguishes them from other virus-like particles such as prions and viroids.</h3>

<h3>They infect a wide variety of organisms: both eukaryotes (animals, fungi and plants) and prokaryotes (bacteria).</h3>

<h3>A virus that infects bacteria is known as a bacteriophage, often shortened to phage.</h3>

<h3>The study of viruses is known as virology, and those who study viruses are known as virologists.</h3><h3 /><h3>It has been argued extensively whether viruses are living organisms.</h3>

<h3>Most virologists consider them non-living, as they do not meet all the criteria of the generally accepted definition of life.</h3>

<h3>They are similar to obligate intracellular parasites as they lack the means for self-reproduction outside a host cell, but unlike parasites, viruses are generally not considered to be true living organisms.</h3>

<h3>A primary reason is that viruses do not possess a cell membrane or metabolise on their own - characteristics of all living organisms.</h3>

<h3>Examples of common human diseases caused by viruses include the common cold, the flu, chickenpox and cold sores.</h3>
