The lac Operon
In E. coli, a cluster of three genes called the lac operon produce enzymes that break apart lactose.
Darwin concluded that the sea level was high were it reached the mountain and as times passed sea level lowers down and clams were still on the mountain so when they died they were fossilized in the mountains. Hope this helps
Answer:
Mutation, fertilization, meiosis are different mechanisms by which changes can occur in the genome.
Explanation:
There are several process which is responsible for causing change in the genome of the species which results in the evolution of that species. Some of these processes are:
1. Mutation: In mutation, some nucleotide sequences get change and this change can occur due to frameshift, addition, deletion or any other process. This change in nucleotide can be seen in phenotype and helps in the evolution of the species.
2. Fertilization: During fertilization mixing of the genome of two individual takes place which results in producing a genetically distinct offspring which contains variation. So as the offspring is genetically different it can contain new alleles that can help the individual to survive in the changing environment.
Answer:
Nonsense mutation: it causes a premature stop codon, so the protein cannot be fully synthesized.
Missense mutation: it causes change on the aminoacid encoded, so it can cause a change in the protein structure if the new aminoacid doesn't have the same chemichal properties as the original.
Synonymous (silent) mutation: it causes no change, the same aminoacid is encoded.
Single nucleotide insertion or deletion: changes the entire structure of the protein because it shifts the reading frame.
Three nucleotide deletion: one aminoacid will no longer be part of the protein, if this aminoacid was located, for example, on the active site of an enzyme, the protein could lose its function.
Chromosomal translocation: it can break a gene in two, causing the protein to no longer be able to be synthesized, or it can change the transcription regulation because it is now under the effect of other regulating sites that result in a different transcription pattern.
In any ecosystem two factors interact together are abiotic factors and biotic factors. Abiotic factors include non-living such as soil, air, water and climatic factors ( temperature, humidity, rainfall or precipitation) whereas, biotic factors includes all the flora (plants) and fauna (animals). These two factors interact through food chains to function an ecosystem.
