Three
different ways the relatedness of species could be assessed is through:
<span>1.
</span>Their genotype. Similarity in DNA between the species is a good
indication of their relatedness.
<span>2.
</span>Their phenotype. If the two species have similar body form and function,
then there is a good possibility that they are related.
<span>The presence of intermediates, either living
or in the fossil record, can show relatedness between two species.</span>
Answer:
Abiotic is basically a non living factor so the answer is
D. Sunlight, temperature , conductivity, dissolved oxygen.
All other options contain one biotic or living factor like algae, star fish and crabs these aren't Abiotic.
Options for part A are as follows:
A) A mutation in the operator sequence
B) A mutation in the lac-Z gene
C) A mutation in the lac-Y gene
D) A super repressor mutation
Answer:
The correct answer:
Part a - A mutation in the operator sequence
Part b - It ensures that a cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment
Part C. true.
Explanation:
part a:
If there is a mutation in the operator sequence leads to prevent binding of the repressor which leads to allowing constitutive expression of the genes various conditions.
part b:
The biological role of the lac operon makes sure that the cell dedicates resources to the production of enzymes involved in lactose metabolism only when lactose is available in the environment
Part c:
RNA polymerase cannot transcribe the structural genes due to the repressor binds to the lac operator, therefore, the proper function of the lac operon is possible when the placement of the operator sequence between the promotor and the structural genes.
Answer:
Photosynthetic organisms (plants and/or phytoplankton) are at the bottom of the food chain.
Explanation:
C. Both types of reproduction enable genetic information to be passed from parent to offspring.
It doesn't matter if the reproduction is sexual or asexual, because the offspring has the parent(s) dna and genetics either way.
