What causes variety in the characteristics between organisms of the same species?

Biology
1 answer:
WARRIOR [948]3 years ago
6 0

Mutations in these genes can produce new or altered traits, resulting in heritable differences (genetic variation) between organisms. ... One definition of a species is a group of organisms that can reproduce with one another and produce fertile offspring.

C

The "Nucleus" contains the genetic information of the cell in the form of deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) or chromosomes and thus, controls cell growth and multiplication. It is also the site of DNA replication (formation of an identical copy of DNA).

While the "Golgi apparatus", or Golgi complex, functions as a factory in which proteins received from the ER are further processed and sorted for transport to their eventual destinations: lysosomes, the plasma membrane, or secretion.

Read the following scenarios carefully and explain how natural selection will occur in each.
IrinaK [193]

Answer:

The correct answer is - Noctural worms have the advantage over diurnal due to the fact that the nocturnal worms are burrowing during the feeding time of birds.

Explanation:

Natural selection is the process in which organisms adapt according to environmental changes to increase their survival rate. Natural selection leads to natural changes in different organisms.

In this case, diurnal worms are forced by the natural selection here to adapt to the change if they want to survive. Here, natural selection works for the nocturnal and against the diurnal.

A signaling pathway that stimulates cellular growth and division is positively regulated by a GTPase encoded by an autosomally l
Romashka-Z-Leto [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is: a.

Explanation:

  • A Diploid organism possess two copies ( also called alleles) of each  autosomal gene, of which one copy of the gene is obtained from one of its parents and the other copy from its other parent.
  • During the process of replication, one of the alleles of the GTPase encoding gene undergoes a mis-sense mutation.
  • A Mis-sense mutation can be defined as a non-synonymous mutation in which one of the nucleotide in the sequence of the gene gets altered such that it causes a change in the amino acid encoded by the codon (triplet nucleotide message encoding for a single amino acid)  formed by the mutated nucleotide. A single amino acid change in the protein, if occurs in the functional site of the protein, can render a protein non-functional.
  • Hence, the mis-sense mutation in one of the alleles encoding for the GTPase gene causes the resulting protein produced from the mutated allele to have drastically reduced function (1%).
  • A heterozygous cell is one which has one copy of the normal allele and the other copy of the mutated allele of the GTPase encoding gene.
  • As one copy of the normal GTPase allele is present in such an individual, it can produce the normal GTPase protein that can assist in the process of cell growth and division.
  • Hence, the phenotype(expressed character) of  the heterozygous cell will not be affected due to the mutation and it will be able to grow and divide normally.
