Answer: The correct answer for the fill in the blank is Asexually.
Asexually reproducing organisms have rapid rate of reproduction as only a single parent is involved in this. Also, there is no formation and fusion of gametes in this mode of reproduction.
They produce larger number of offsprings through rapid rate of reproduction. By doing so they have larger chances of survival.
For instance, if a part of bacterial species population is wiped out through viral infection, bacteria can compensate this loss by the rapid rate of reproduction. This increases their chances of survival.
Answer:
1 - natural selection
2 - uniformitarianism
3- inheritance of acquired characteristics
4 - catastrophism
Explanation:
1. Natural selection refers to the evolution of organism or changes in the characterstics of organism depending on the environmental conditions. Hence, the lizard moved on fantasy island evolved with larger head and stronger bites as per the environmental condition.
2. The concept of Uniformitarianism states that the natural geological processes happening in present have already occured in past with same intesity and rate. Hence, geologist uses the phrase "The present is the key to the past" for formation of mountain, rock formation and water movements.
3. Inheritance of acquired characteristics are the characteristic acquird by the ancestors and transmitted that gradually acquired characteristic to their progeny. Hence, the rats acquire the charactieristics and transfered it to the next generations.
4. Catastrophism means the regular occurrence of meteorological and geological disturbances to explain the existence the fossil record. Hence, teh mass exticiton due to asteroid impact is an example of Catastrophism.
So, the correct options in sequential order is natural selection, uniformitarianism, inheritance of acquired characteristics, and catastrophism.
Answer:
Topoisomerase
Explanation:
Topoisomerase is an enzyme that is involved in the unwinding of Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA). They are involved in double stranded DNA and they help to relieve the making of supercoils.
Topoisomerase play an important role during DNA replication, as the prevent the the twisting of the DNA double helix ahead of the replication fork. In other words, they ensure that the DNA open up for unwinding without being tightly wound.
