A mistake in DNA replication before meiosis produces an organism that is better able to outrun predators.
Explanation:
The genetic variation results from the different alleles of a population. The mutation or mistake in DNA replication would cause gene variants which may be beneficial. The variation in the DNA sequence of genome results in variants in small population.
Genetic variation is the cause of natural selection and eventually, evolution takes place with beneficial traits.
It is mentioned in the question that resulting offspring having received the mutant allele could result in better surviving capabilities or phenotypic traits as they are able to outrun predators.
Answer:
The correct answer is DNA or RNA. Viral chromosomes exist in a variety of conformations and can be made up of <u>DNA or RNA</u>
Explanation:
The hereditary material of viruses is organized into chromosomes of different types. From the genetic point of view, viruses can be classified into DNA or RNA viruses, double helix or single helix, and circular or linear, that is, viral chromosomes are linear or circular molecules of DNA or RNA. Viruses can be classified according to the type of organism they parasitize in: Bacteriophages or phages, animal viruses and plant-type viruses. Viral chromosomes are also subject to the recombination process, this happens when an individual cell is infected simultaneously by two mutant strains of a virus.
1. Respiration-process by which plants release CO, while they break down the sugar
2. Animals eat plants- They break down sugars and starches by a process of metabolism and the products are energy water, and CO2 molecules.
3. Decomposition-when plants die, their parts (wood, leaves) decay bringing the carbon into the ground
4. Root respiration- respiration that occurs in roots, adds to soil respiration (the amount of CO2 produced through root respiration is determined by the root biomass ).
