Channel protein is important because it is embedded in the membrane and it also covers the membrane. This is important because the channel must transport the micromolecules and ions in and out of the cell. Carrier proteins are important because the carrier must transport the molecule in and out of the cell.
<h2>Genetic diversity </h2>
Explanation:
If the environment changes, the species runs the risk of not having the genetic diversity to be adaptable to that change and could go extinct
- Genetic diversity is the diversity or genetic variability within species
- The huge variety of different gene sets defines an individual or a whole population's ability to tolerate stress from any given environmental factor
- While some individuals might be able to tolerate an increased load of pollutants in their environment, others carrying different genes might suffer from infertility or even die under the exact same environmental conditions;the former will continue to live in the environment the latter will either have to leave it or die
- Any change in the environment - natural or human induced causes a selection of events that only the fittest survive
- In case of elephant seals,overhunting reduces the sum of genes available,thus leaving behind a population that is less capable of tolerating any further natural or human disturbances in environment
- The loss of genetic diversity within a species can result in the loss of useful and desirable traits
(4) produce new varieties of domestic animals
Although (1) (2) and (3) are modern-day uses of selective breeding, they are relatively recent developments in human history, only used for the past century or less. (4) is correct because the selective breeding of domestic animals to produce new varieties of dogs, cats, etc. has been used for thousands of years, dating back to the ancient Chinese and Egyptian dynasties.
