How does Genetic Variation relate to Selection?

Biology
2 answers:
guajiro [1.7K]3 years ago
5 0

Genetic variation is a measure of the genetic differences that exist within a population. Genetic variation is essential for natural selection because natural selection can only increase or decrease frequency of alleles that already exist in the population. Genetic variation is caused by: mutation.

Answer: <em>Genetic variation is important to the processes of natural selection and biological evolution. The genetic variations that arise in a population happen by chance, but the process of natural selection does not. Natural selection is the result of the interactions between genetic variations in a population and the environment.</em>

Which describes the missing step?
Nimfa-mama [501]

Answer:

The missing step is oxygen is removed from the water after step 3.

Explanation:

The steps listed by Xavier are:

  1. <em>Water is drawn in trough pores and enters the central cavity. </em>
  2. <em>Food is filtered and digested. </em>
  3. <em>Water leaves trough an opening at the top of the body.</em>

Porifera or sponges are aquatic, immobile invertebrates whose structure is saccular with an upper opening, the osculus.

Sponges absorb water through their pores, where the porocytes are found, and through flagellated cells -the coanocytes- the movement that allows the entrance of water to the spongocele or atrium is produced, in addition to the phagocytosis of organic elements.

Once the water is in the interior chamber of the sponges, the organic particles are phagocyted to be digested, and the oxygen is removed from the water, and passes through diffusion into the cell.  The waste products, as well as carbon dioxide, are released into the water that will be expelled through the osculus.

<u><em>In Xavier's list, the missing step is the removal of oxygen from the water, before it is expelled from the body of the sponge</em></u><em>.</em>

Read the scenario. Jake and Pari are completing a biology assignment. One of the questions asks them to determine the base amoun
postnew [5]

Answer:

There should be 10% thymine

Explanation:

DNA bases come in specific pairs. Guanine pairs up with cytosine and adenine pairs up with Thymine.

According to the problem the DNA sample was 40% cytosine and 40% guanine, so this is correct, there are equal amounts of cytosine and guanine. Now Thymine needs to have equal amounts as adenine, but adenine only has 10%.

If we match up the amount of adenine to thymine, we would have 15% adenine and 15% thymine, but that would excede 100%. So you need to match the thymine to adenine.

10% adenine + 10 % thymine + 40% cytosine + 40% guanine = 100%
