Homologous recombination occurs in a heterozygote in which alleles D and d differ by a single base pair. The D allele has a G (a

GC base pair) at one position, whereas the d allele has a C (a CG base pair) at the same position. If branch migration causes heteroduplex formation across this position, what is the expected outcome

Answer:

Mismatch DNA repair mechanism recognizes the abnormal base pairing (G-G base pair) and may correct it by converting the D allele to d

Explanation:

The DNA mismatch repair can be defined as a specialized mechanism that recognizes and repairs errors in the nuclotide sequence (such as, for example, bases erroneously incorporated) during DNA replication and recombination. The DNA mismatch repair is a system that also acts to repair the DNA after damage. It has been shown that the DNA mismatch repair mechanism leads to the generation of a DNA molecule with one chain that has the nucleotide sequence arising from DNA repair and one parental chain. In this case, it is expected that the DNA mismatch repair mechanism will identify the abnormal G-G base pairing and then this system may change the D allele to a d allele by introducing a C base instead of a G base in the DNA strand.

Paraphin [41]

Answer:

The bugs evolved beak lengths that were adapted to their host plant.

Explanation:

This is an interesting case of evolution in which bugs evolved (changed) quickly over a few generations. In less than 50 years the bugs evolved beak lengths to match the size of the new host plant’s seed pods. The bugs were not used to live out of that plant but they started feeding on it and then they changed some of their characteristics.

Termites get almost all their energy from eating wood and dead plants. Although termites rely on wood for food, they cannot dige
shusha [124]

Answer:

<em>A. Both are eukaryotic</em>

Explanation:

Despite the fact that termites are insects that eat wood, termites are not equipped for processing wood all alone. Endosymbionts like trichonympha that live inside the digestive tracts of the termite help with converting over the wood into nutrients that the termite can process.

Trichonympha have the enzymes that can convert cellulose in wood into starches and sugars that the termite can use for their nutrition. In return, these living beings profit by the nonstop supply of energy rich cellulose and an appropriate domain in which to live. Both trichonympha and termites show mutualism.
