Answer:
Also, many living things have evolved to use both asexual and sexual means of reproduction. For example aphids, slime molds, sea anemones, and some starfish are capable of both asexual and sexual reproduction
Explanation:
Answer:
1. Gametophyte
2. Sporophyte
Explanation:
The life cycle of the Liverwort and mosses which are placed in the Bryophytes is divided into the sporophytic and the gametophytic phase.
Gametophyte
The gametophyte is the dominant phase of the life cycle which appears like the ribbon, green in color and posses the gamete producing structure- the antheridium and the archegonium.
Sporophyte
The gametes fuse to form the embryo and from that is produced the sporophyte structure, an umbrella-like structure called a sporangium. This sporangium produces the spores which later will form the gametophyte.
This has happened before in Yellow Stone National Park in CA. Removing a species form the Pyramid causes the ecosystem to collapse, as species become over hunted and others are starved. One type of organism could become overpopulated, therefor lack of natural variation.
Runoff is the stage of hydrologic cycle
Answer:
The correct answer is: C. third nucleotide position.
Explanation:
- Genes located on the chromosomes encodes for proteins.
- A Gene is made up of a Deoxyribonucleotide (DNA) sequence which is transcribed into the messenger Ribonucleotide (mRNA) sequence by the help of RNA polymerase.
- This mRNA sequence is further translated into the amino acid sequence, that folds to form the functional protein, by the help of the Ribosome.
- The Ribosome reads the mRNA sequence in the form of triplets (three nucleotide together) and each such triplet nucleotide codes for an amino acid.
- Each such triplet nucleotide is known as a Codon.
- The Genetic Code is a table which represents the amino acid encoded by each codon.
- However, the Genetic Code is degenerate in nature. This means that one amino acid can be coded by more than one codon.
- This is because, among the the three nucleotide positions in a codon only the first two determine the specificity of the amino acid while the third nucleotide, also called the wobble nucleotide, is not specific. Presence of any nucleotide in the third position of the codon will not alter the amino acid encoded by the codon.
- In the given question, organisms producing homologous protein have similar amino acid sequence but they vary in the corresponding nucleotide sequence of the gene which codes for the homologous protein.
- This is because at the nucleotide level the variation lies in the wobble nucleotide position that occupies the third position in the codon.
