Answer:
D) the arrangement of the nucleotides within genes
Explanation:
De-oxy ribo nucleic acid that is basically a polymer of nucleotides. Nucleotides are composed of three basic units: a de-oxyribose sugar unit, a phosphate group and nitrogenous bases that can be Adenine, Gunanine, Thymine and Cytosine.Adenine always pairs with Thymine and Guanine always pairs with Cytosine.
This is a universal composition of DNA in each and every living organism. The genes are a segment of DNA that contain specific sequence of nucleotides and encode for a specific trait of organism such as height, weight, eye color etc. The sequence of nucleotides expresses the trait in the form of protein product during the process of Translation. The products of translation are amino acids and every amino acids encode for a specific protein in almost all living organisms.
So, what differs in the specie is the sequence of nucleotides in genes. Infact this is the nucleotide sequence which brings evolution in organism and organisms evolve to form new specie with the passage of time. One major cause of change in nucleotide sequence is mutations due to which the organisms change with time.
Suppose the sequence of nucleotide of specific gene in organism A is
AAGGGGAAATTT
However in other specie organism B of same specie is:
TAGGGGAAATTT
This means only mutation of one base changed the gene in organism B and also its product called protein.
Hope it help!
Explanation:
The sun heats the air leading to warm air. the warm air rises thus makes the cooler air from the surroundings to replace it. This leads to creating wind . This same process applies for ocean currents.
The sun heats water which make warm water come to the surface of the ocean thus replacing it with cooler water leading to ocean currents.
The correct answer is option C, that is, behavioral isolation.
The phenomenon of behavioral isolation takes place when two populations possess the tendency of interbreeding, but exhibit distinctions in courtship rituals or other kinds of behavior. For example, the western and eastern meadowlarks are very identical birds whose habitat overlap in the middle of the United States.
However, the members of the two species will not mate with each other, possibly as they use different songs in order to fascinate males. The eastern meadowlarks will not respond to the songs of western meadowlarks, and vice versa.
Answer:
Height is affected by multiple pairs of genes on different chromosomes.
Explanation:
The quantitative traits are those whose inheritance pattern is the result of the action of multiple genes that act together with the environment. The distribution of quantitative traits in the population follows a bell-shaped curve, which is referred to as normal distribution or Gaussian distribution. These traits are 'quantitative' because they vary among individuals in the population to produce a continuous range of phenotypic values. Examples of quantitative traits include, among others, metabolic rate, height, and weight.
