Answer:
Inbreeding leaves animals susceptible to genetic disease, and populations to reduced fitness. This family of three would not be able to sustain a population given their a) group dynamics and b) genetic variation
Explanation:
In small populations, the variation in genetic material is likely to be low. The consequence of this is that there is increased homozygosity. That means less members of the population carry two different alleles of a gene for any given trait. This increases the chance of the appearance of recessive traits, which could be disease causing or otherwise reduce fitness.
With only three related individuals left, the chances of generating a new and thriving population with the limited genetic material is almost non existent, especially considering the animals are a male, female and their pup
The question lacks the multiple options. All the information related to frame shift mutation and point mutation will be included in the answer.
Answer:
Mutation is the sudden heritable change in the genetic sequence of the organisms. Two main types of mutation are frame shift mutation and point mutation.
The point mutation occurs due to the change in the single nucleotide sequence or base. Frame shift mutation refers to the deletion or insertion of the basepair in the sequence. The frame shift mutation changes the reading frame of the sequence.
Answer:
E. By presence of paired homologous chromosomes in the meiotic cell.
Explanation:
Differences between Mitotic Prophase and Prophase 1 of Meiosis:
- The prophase of mitosis is relatively shorter than prophase 1 of meiosis.
- Prophase of mitosis is characterized by the disintegration of the nuclear membrane and the movement of the duplicated centrioles towards the two poles of the cell.
- Prophase 1 of meiosis is relatively longer and involves a number of consecutive events that do not occur in the mitotic prophase.
- Prophase 1 of meiosis involves the disintegration of the nuclear membrane as well. But the most important event of this phase is the pairing of homologous chromosomes through a connection called a synapse. This is called chiasmata formation. Homologous chromosomes pair up in form of tetrads and exchange segments with each other. This process is called crossing over and it is crucial in the production of genetically varied daughter cells.
