Answer:
It is true that one-toed horse of today steadily evolved from its five-toed ancestor.
Explanation:
- Evolution is the law of nature.There is a continuous process of evolution in each biological species in nature.
- Similarly, horses had 5 toes millions of year back, but according to the theory of gradualism their use decreased and toes started fusing.
- Now, its only one toe at present but the vestigial left over provides the solid evidence for the fact that horses had 5 toes in the past.
Answer: The flow of individuals in and out of a population introduces new alleles and increases genetic variation within that population. Mutations are changes to an organism’s DNA that create diversity within a population by introducing new alleles.
Explanation:
Answer:
Answer is C.
Explanation:
For A and B, a base substitution affects one of the three bases that comprise a codon, the DNA/RNA unit that corresponds to a particular amino acid. If one base is substituted, one codon and therefore one amino acid will be affected. Codons have built-in redundancy, so even by changing one base, the new codon sometimes still corresponds to the same amino acid. Therefore, a base substitution at most affects one amino acid, and sometimes doesn't affect it all.
Frameshift mutations cause a lot more trouble. These occur when you have a deletion or insertion that changes the number of bases in your gene. As a result, the "frame" of the codons changes (everything shifts one way or the other by the number of bases added/removed). This affects EVERY codon downstream of the mutation, so you can imagine that such a mutation would have a bigger effect the closer to the start of the gene it occurs. This is why C is correct.
