Answer:

The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).

Explanation:

There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.

The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.

For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.

  • <em>Other options, such as </em><u><em>an increase in food availability</em></u><em>, a</em><u><em> decrease in tuna fishing </em></u><em> or </em><u><em>a decrease in tuna predators</em></u><em>, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.</em>

What step happens first in translation
UkoKoshka [18]

Answer:

<u><em>Initiation</em></u>

Explanation:

The first part of translation is initiation. So first an initiator tRNA molecule binds to a start codon in the mRNA. And then more tRNA's with amino acids attach to the mRNA strand according to the codons on the strand. Then the process continues.

Let's suppose you were interested in developing drugs to prevent epigenetic changes that may contribute to cancer. What cellular
Vaselesa [24]

Answer:

Potential targets:

1- DNA methyltransferases

2- Chromatin modifiers such as histone acetyltransferases, histone deacetylases, histone methyltransferases, etc.

3- Components of the RNA interference (RNAi) machinery such as Dicer, Argonaute, etc.

Explanation:

Epigenetics can be defined as the study of any heritable change in the phenotype that does not involve modifications in the DNA sequence. Epigenetic mechanisms can be classified into three major types: 1-DNA methylation, 2-histone modifications (e.g., acetylation, methylation, phosphorylation, etc), and 3-regulatory non-coding RNAs (e.g., miRNAs, lncRNAs, siRNAs, etc) that modulate target gene expression via the RNA interference pathway. There are different types of proteins that are involved in these complex epigenetic mechanisms, and those cited above represent only some examples that can be used as therapeutic targets.

As the population of wolves increases, their prey decrease. This is most directly followed by which of the following? a sustaine
nlexa [21]
The answer, I believe, would be C) A decrease in the wolf population - because the prey decreases, fewer wolves will be able to find food, which will lead to a decrease in their population.
