Ok, DNA Polymerase is an enzyme that joins free nucleotides to both existing strands of DNA, which means it isn't D (which is helicase, by the way). They normally work in pairs of two for this function, so it isn't C; this is because if it created a fork, there would only be one needed. Now, concerning A & B, you'll have to be careful. Depending on how A is worded contextually, it could be correct, or it could not. I'm not sure I like the wording "chunks." Which is why I think it's B. Polymerase joins one strand of the "unzipped" DNA to free nucleotides that match it, and these aren't "chunks of DNA." Now, Polymerase is VERY accurate, only making a mistake once every millionth (or billionth?) nucleotide matchup. When it does make a mistake (most of the time), it'll go back and fix it. So I believe the best answer is B, it checks for errors.
Hope this helps!
B is the answer.
As sexual reproduction results in genetic variation. So the traits are not passed.
The body's immune system thinks what he/she is eating or inhaling is a pathogen. The immune system sends white blood cells to attack. This triggers an allergic reaction.
For example: I am allergic to asparagus (I'm not joking, I really am) and walnuts. Anytime I eat one of those, my body's immune system thinks it's a pathogen for some reason and attacks and triggers an allergic reaction in me. This makes my breathing hard and makes it really itchy. Good thing it's not that severe so I can eat some if I want, but sometimes allergic reactions could cause hospitalization or death.
Answer:
It is a stenotopic species.
Explanation:
Stenotopic species are well adapted to specific environmental conditions. Stenotopic species can't colonize new environments because they are adapted to a narrow range of environmental conditions. On the other hand, the eurytopic species can survive and reproduce in a wide range of environments.
In this case, the geneticist has used a hypothetico-deductive framework, where this butterfly was distinguished by species boundaries based on its sampling distribution.
