Tusks are essentially overgrown teeth. Yet they’re typically used for most task of daily living; digging for water or vital minerals in the ground, debating trees to secure fibrous food, and helping males compete for females

The mechanism by which the end product of a metabolic pathway inhibits an earlier step in the pathway is most precisely describe
defon

Answer:

The mecanism is termed as feedback inhibition.

Explanation:

In an enzyme catalyzed sequential reaction the end product of that reaction inhibits the activity of the activity of the enzyme catalyzing the ist step This type of  regulation is called Feed back regulation or feedback inhibition.

               The main function of human body is to maintain the homeostasis of the all the components it contains.When the end product of an ongoing enzyme catalzsed sequential reaction is produced in a high lebel at that time to maintain its own homeostatis that end product inhibits the functioning of the enzyme catalzsing the ist step of that biochemical reaction.

For Example Cytidine tri phosphate inhibits the activity of aspartate transcarbamoylase catalyzing the de novo biosynthesis pathway of pyrimidine metabolism.

Suppose we were successful in identifying 12 mutants using a screen for identifying conditional mutants of S. cerevisiae in whic
Marina CMI [18]

Answer:

Each mutant would be mated to wild type and to every other mutant to create diploid strains. The diploids would be assayed for growth at permissive and restrictive temperature. Diploids formed by mating a mutant to a wild type that can grow at restrictive temperatures identify the mutation as recessive. Only recessive mutations can be studied using complementation analysis. Diploids formed by mating two recessive mutants identify mutations in the same gene if the diploid cannot grow at restrictive temperature (non-complementation), and they identify mutations in different genes if the diploids can grow at restrictive temperature (complementation).

Explanation:

Recessive mutations are those whose phenotypic effects are only visible in homo-zygous individuals. Moreover, a complementation test is a genetic technique used to determine if two different mutations associated with a phenotype colocalize in the same <em>locus</em> (i.e., they are alleles of the same gene) or affect two different <em>loci</em>.  In diploid (2n) organisms, this test is performed by crossing two homo-zygous recessive mutants and then observing whether offspring have the wild-type phenotype. When two different recessive mutations localize in different <em>loci</em>, they can be considered as 'complementary' since the heterozygote condition may rescue the function lost in homo-zygous recessive mutants. In consequence, when two recessive mutations are combined in the same genetic background (i.e., in the same individual) and they produce the same phenotype, it is possible to determine that both mutations are alleles of the same gene/<em>locus</em>.

You have two organisms (living things) that are from opposite sides of the word completely disconnected from each other. THEY HA
MrMuchimi

Answer:

The phenomenon is called convergent evolution

Explanation:

Convergent evolution is the name given to the evolutionary phenomenon whereby a similar characteristic appears independently in two unrelated species, that is, that do not have a direct common ancestor from whom they could inherit that characteristic. Similar characteristics resulting from evolutionary convergence are called analogues or homoplasms (from the Greek, “shaped in the same way”). This process is very common and can be explained by natural selection, since similar selective pressures tend to favor similar adaptations.

What is true about microevolution?
iris [78.8K]
Microevolution refers to changes that occur within a single species or group or organisms.  Microevolution, as opposed to macroevolution, occurs in a short period of time. In microevolution, the ancestor and the descendant obviously belong to the same type.  For example, certain pests have evolved in such a way that they become immune to pesticides; the same thing has happened to certain weeds and herbicides. Hope this helps.
