Answer:
K+-coupled.
Explanation:
The transport of the solutes may occur along the concentration gradient or against the concentration gradient. Two main types of transport that occur in living organism are active process and passive process.
The passive transport do not require the energy for its transport whereas the active transport require energy. The K+ coupled transport do not require any energy molecule for its transport and easily transfer by the leaky channel. Hence, the K+-coupled transport is not the common active transport.
Thus, the correct answer is option (C).
Answer:
The heat sensitive polymerase would be denatured resulting in formation of little or no PCR products.
Explanation:
PCR is a technique that forms multiple copies of a small DNA sample. For the purpose, the DNA sample is exposed to very high-temperature conditions (around 95 degrees C) to facilitate the denaturation of DNA helix. These high-temperature conditions denature enzymes such as heat-sensitive DNA polymerases. Therefore, no or very little DNA molecules will be formed by the end of the process as the denatured DNA polymerase would not be able to extend the primers.
To avoid these conditions, heat-tolerant Taq polymerase is used in PCR which can withstand the extremely high-temperature conditions of PCR.
Answer:
The environmental factor that could lead to a decrease in genetic variation in a tuna population is an increase in pollution (second option).
Explanation:
There is a correlation between genetic variability and environmental pollution, the latter being a factor that impacts negatively on the variability of a specific population.
The concept of pollution stress not only implies a low rate of reproduction, but it is also a factor that prevents genetic exchange with other populations, which is a factor that makes the genetic variability decrease in a population.
For these reasons an increase in pollution implies a decrease in genetic variability in a tuna population.
- <em>Other options, such as </em><u><em>an increase in food availability</em></u><em>, a</em><u><em> decrease in tuna fishing
</em></u><em> or </em><u><em>a decrease in tuna predators</em></u><em>, are environmental factors that contribute to increased genetic variability.</em>
