construct an explanation for the high incidence of tusklessness in the Gorongosa elephant population.

Biology
1 answer:
Setler79 [48]3 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Argument: A trend toward an increased incidence of tusklessness will result in decreased population sizes in the

future.

Claim: In the long term, tusklessness in African elephants is not beneficial to populations, even when heavy

poaching is occurring. So, as tusklessness increases, elephant population sizes will decline.

Evidence: Although poachers kill elephants with tusks, elephants rely on their tusks for survival. Elephants use

their tusks to strip bark off trees for food and to dig up water and minerals from the ground. Male elephants

also use their tusks in competitions with other males for females.

Reasoning: Tuskless elephants are probably not as healthy as those with tusks, as they cannot eat bark off trees

and are unable to dig for water and minerals. During harsh conditions such as droughts, elephants without

tusks would be less likely to survive. Male elephants without tusks are also more likely to be injured during

mating competitions. If too many males are injured or killed, there may be a decline in reproduction.

Over time, many of the tuskless elephants will die or be unable to reproduce, so the population’s size will

decrease.

A is a DNA sequence where RNA polymerase binds and begins the process of transcription. A is a DNA sequence that binds regulator
WARRIOR [948]

<u>Answer:</u>

A is a DNA sequence that binds regulatory proteins that interact with promoter-bound proteins to activate transcription.

<u>Explanation:</u>

Background Knowledge:

DNA contains genes which is a particular segment of DNA. A gene usually has regulatory regions and a structural region.

Promoter: The regulatory region located to the 5 prime end of coding strand of the gene which is called as promoter that controls the binding RNA Polymerase during transcription.

The Terminator is the other regulatory region, located to the 3 prime end of coding strand of the gene. The terminator region causes RNA polymerase to stop transcription.

Structural region is the region present between the promoter and terminator.

Answer of the question is:

A is a DNA sequence that binds regulatory proteins that interact with promoter-bound proteins to activate transcription.
