Question 7(Multiple Choice Worth 4 points)

Biology
1 answer:
Maurinko [17]3 years ago
8 0

Answer: The correct option is B (self-replicating molecules, such as RNA and DNA)

Explanation:

The current theory of the process of evolution makes use of present day knowledge of genes and chromosomes to explain the source of genetic variation upon which natural selection works. These genes are discrete units of inheritance which determine hereditary characteristics. All the information for the inheritable characteristics of an individual are contained in these genes.

When a cell divides, the genes duplicate themselves so that each daughter cell has an identical set of genes as the original parent cell. These genes are passed from parents to offspring in the gametes of the parents.

Gene are found in the DNA( Deoxyribonucleic acid) molecules or RNA (Ribonucleic acid) molecules. These molecules are capable of self replication due to a process called mutation. Mutations are random changes in DNA that alter genetic information and sin introduce new characteristics. They may occur

--> in body cells or

--> during gamete formation.

Thus, evolution from vesicles to true cells is through self replicating molecules through the process of mutation which is the raw material for evolution

Henry was studying two populations of the same species of lizards. One population lived on an island and the other lived on the
Llana [10]

the island is a small specie of lizards so if the mainland specie was a large population it would have been the one to be affected by an increase instead of a decrease. The genetic drift was caused by not having enough of the same kind to keep the heredity going, most likely the largest population is the one that had enough of the same heredity to keep the population of lizards going. In a way the hurricane with the force on both species caused a genetic drift but increased a larger population for a year later.

Explain what would happen if conditions changed that causes the seaweed to die now striped fish stand out to predators more than
Ratling [72]

Answer:

An organism change itself in response to the surrounding environmental condition.

Explanation:

Since striped fishes are able to save themselves from the predators due to their natural ability , the solid fishes would be an easy prey to the predators. This would lead to reduction in the number of solid fishes. Also the sea weed started dying because of environmental change. Thus, predators would shift their feeding pattern from sea weed to easily identifiable fish that is the solid fish and hence the solid fish may deplete rapidly.

Also the striped fishes in later stages may undergo natural selection to prevent themselves from the predators.
