There is variation within the population, due to a mutation. The selection pressure is the drug. The microbes that have the advantageous gene which makes them resistant to the drug are selected for, and reproduce passing on the gene, increasing its allele frequency within the population over time. However, the microbes that do not have the advantageous gene, cannot survive and their number decreases within the popullation.
The five earth's spheres are biosphere, hydrosphere, atmosphere, geosphere and lithosphere.
An organism like polar bear might react with each of the sphere in the following way: The bear has its habitat on the land (lithosphere), he eat grasses and other small animals found in the biosphere. It drinks water, which is part of the hydrosphere. It breaths in oxygen and breath out carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. Its wastes is a source of food to decomposers, ( in the geosphere) which breaks it down for plants' use
Answer:
B. Natural Selection
Explanation:
This is the process in which organisms are in a better suited environment in order to survive!
1 is moving or kinetic energy of course because it is energy in motion.
Answer:
The answer is C. its sequence of amino acids.
The protein's shape is influenced by its sequence of amino acids or primary structure.
Explanation:
The primary structure of a protein molecule is dependent on the amino acid chain sequence it has. The amino acid chain's <u>linear</u> structure is composed of <u>covalently bonded</u> amino acids via peptide bonds. This serves as the <u>overall backbone </u>of the protein.
<h3>Additional notes: </h3>
Secondary structure of protein
It defines the 3-dimensional shape of the<u> locally folded polypeptide</u>. They come in two forms, the alpha helices and beta sheets. During the formation of the primary structure, acidic and basic amino residues may cause kinks and turns, re-configuring the 3-D shape of the local polypeptide.
Tertiary structure of protein
This determines the overall 3-dimensional structure of the protein. The structure is due to the <u>linking of the R groups</u> of the related amino acids, <u>hydrophobic bonds</u>, and <u>disulfide bonds</u>. These bonds are <u>highly stable</u> and are not easily changed or destroyed.
Quaternary structure of protein
It is a structure that consists of multiple folded polypeptide chains or subunits. This allows the protein to have m<u>ultiple functions</u>. <u>Non-covalent forces</u> keep these structures together, making it <u>prone to rapid conformational changes.</u>
