Why do you think mutations are necessary for species to change?

1 answer:

8 0

Mutation is the primary cause of all genetic variation. Mutation is important as the first step in evolution, as it produces a new sequence of DNA for a particular gene, producing a new allele. Recombination, through intragenic recombination, may also generate a new DNA sequence (a new allele) for a particular gene.

Hypothesis:

AleksandrR [38]

Answer:

Objective(s):

In your own words, what was the purpose of this lab?

In this lab report, the purpose is that hamsters carry traits fro parents.

Hypothesis:

In this section, please include the if/then statements you developed during your lab activity. These statements reflect your predicted outcomes for the experiment.

Test One: If I breed a short fur, FF female with a short fur, Ff male, then I will expect to see (all short fur; some short and some long fur; all long fur) offspring.

All short fur

Test Two: If I breed a short fur, Ff female with a short fur, Ff male, then I will expect to see (all short fur; some short and some long fur; all long fur) offspring.

Some short and some long

Test Three: If I breed a long fur, ff female with a long fur, ff male, then I will expect to see (all short fur; some short and some long fur; all long fur) offspring.

All long fur

Procedure:

The procedures are listed in your virtual lab. You do not need to repeat them here. Please be sure to identify the test variable (independent variable) and the outcome variable (dependent variable) for this investigation.

Remember, the test variable is what is changing in this investigation. The outcome variable is what you are measuring in this investigation.

How many distinct stages must occur between the point when light first encounters chlorophyll and the point at which

Novay_Z [31]

Explanation:

Three.

Photosynthesis produces glucose and O2 from inorganic CO2, light energy and water. This occurs in distinct steps: 1) light fixation, 2) electron transport and NADPH production 3) ATP generation, then 4) carbon fixation and carbohydrate production.

6CO2 + 6H20 + (energy) → C6H12O6 + 6O2

Further Explanation:

Photosynthesis is a chemical process, essential to plant and other primary producers producing energy. As oxygen is emitted, energy in the form of glucose molecules is created from light, water, and carbon dioxide. It happens in several complicated stages, photosynthesis is a speed-limited process, depending on several factors including concentration of carbon dioxide, ambient temperature and light intensity; energy is extracted from photons, i.e. light particles, and water is used as a reduction agent. It occurs in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules live like chlorophyll.

Photosynthesis occurs in several complex steps and is a reaction of a small duration, depending on several fa factors including carbon dioxide concentration, ambient temperature and light intensity; the energy is retrieved from photons, I.e. particles of light, and water is used as a reducing agent. Water supplies the chlorophyll in plant cell with replacement electrons for the ones removed from photosystem II.

Additionally,

Water (H2O) divided into H+ and OH-by light during photolysis serves as a source of oxygen along with acting as a reduction agent; it reduces the NADP molecule to NADPH by supplying H+ ions and generates molecules of the energy storage molecule ATP through an electron transport chain.
This happens in the thykaloids, where pigment molecules reside like chlorophyll.
Later, NADP and NADPH are used in dark reactions during the Calvin cycle, where monosaccharides or sugars such as glucose are produced after several molecules have been modified. These store energy in their bonds which in the mitochondria can be released in respiration.
