Mendel used the garden pea to determine the inheritance of traits.
Transposable elements are considered to be responsible for vast range of genome diversity and gene silencing.
Explanation:
Transposable elements are short sequences of DNA that have the ability to move from one location to another in the genome. During this process they copy themselves.
The entire process carried out by transposable elements to copy themselves and move from one location to another is called transposition.
Transposition may result in mutation and is potentially a major source of genome diversity and change. If a transposon inserts itself into the coding region of a gene,it interrupts the coding sequence and inactivates the gene expression.
In addition to this, a transposable element may contain transcription or translation termination signal that will block the gene expression downstream of insertion site.
Answer:
Option C
Explanation:
Dr. Leland Hartwell used baker’s yeast, <em>Saccharomyces cerevisiae</em>, as a model system, which was a highly suitable model for cell cycle studies. He introduced the concept of Checkpoints where he said cells are arrested if damaged so that the cells repair system can work to correct such damages. Dr. Paul Nurse used a different type of yeast, <em>Schizosaccharomyces pombe</em>, a type of yeast distantly related to the baker's yeast as a model organism.
D. Polarity and size.
<span>The size, polarity, and charge of a substance will determine whether or not the substance can cross the cell membrane by diffusion. The cholesterol was an example of a lipid, and is highly soluble in the nonpolar environment of the lipid bilayer. You saw, in the animation above, the cholesterol freely passing into the hydrophobic environment of the membrane. Cholesterol distributes freely in the membrane and then some fraction will dissolve in the aqueous environment of the cytoplasm. Water, on the other hand, while polar, is small enough to cross the membrane at a slow rate. Note that specialized transport proteins in certain cell membranes can provide a channel for the water, greatly increasing its rate of crossing the membrane. The lipid bilayer is much less permeable to the ion, because of its charge and larger size. As a general rule, charged molecules are much less permeable to the lipid bilayer.</span>
Rather than helping one species you can help a entire ecosystem. if you think about it, you would be saving more in a ecosystem then you would in just 1 single species
