Answer:
Definition (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Saprophytism) Saprotrophic nutrition is a process of chemoheterotrophic extracellular digestion involved in the processing of dead or decayed organic matter. It occurs in saprotrophs or heterotrophs, and is most often associated with fungi, for example Mucor and Rhizopus. (
Explanation:
Answer: There will be no effect on the protein produced
Explanation:
According to the genetic code, the triplet codon GAG code for the amino acid, glutamate, while GAC code for aspartate.
Since GAG and GAC code for amino acids with similar properties (aspartate and glutamate are both acidic amino acids due to the extra carboxyl group present in their side chain), the change in nucleotide is still similar to the original, so will result in a different amino acid sequence, but will not alter the function of the protein at all. Thus, this kind of mutation is called silent mutation.
Answer:
While the long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche included a wide range of prey species, competition with other species in the newly colonized prairie reduced the realized niche such that fewer food types were utilized
Explanation:
Options are given:
The two populations of the long-billed prairie-birds had different fundamental niches, but the same realized niche
The original population of long-billed prairie-birds had higher levels of competition for food resources and in order to find enough food had a more varied diet. Those in the newly colonized area faced less competition and adapted to a smaller range of food types.
While the long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche included a wide range of prey species, competition with other species in the newly colonized prairie reduced the realized niche such that fewer food types were utilized
The long-billed prairie-bird’s fundamental niche shifted as a result of competition with other species such that individuals in the newly colonized prairie foraged on a smaller variety of food types
Since in the question it is mentioned that scientists compare the populations with respect to the two bird and determined for the long billed prairie birds and the available of food is same in the two areas
This above situation represents the competitive exclusion concept. The species should be entered into the competitor in the case when there is a large number and the feeding should be started for survival
I believe the primary structure will be preserved. The secondary level of proteins is defined by patterns of hydrogen bonds between the main chain peptide groups. Therefore distorting the Hydrogen bonds disrupts the secondary structures. The primary structure on the other hand is not affected by disruption of the hydrogen bond since these structures refers to the sequences of amino acids in the polypeptide chains that are joined by the peptide bonds.
