Answer:

Stabilizing natural selection keeps gene frequencies constant in a population. The normal, most common traits are selected for and preserved so only a limited amount of evolution occurs and species can remain unchanged even over long periods of time.

Which food listed below is typically found in the diet of southern italians, but not indigenous to europe?
aliina [53]
The answer is Olives. 
One striking characteristic of the Mediterranean Diet is its heavy use of olive oil as the primary source of fat, and their minimal use of both Butter and Margarine. Another striking characteristic of the southern Italian Diet is its heavy reliance on whole grains.

The following DNA non-template sequence (coding sequence) is transcribed from left to right. Use the sequence to determine the t
amm1812

Answer:

(A) A transversion base substitution causing a missense mutation

(B) A transition base substitution causing a silent mutation

(C)  A transversion base substitution causing a silent mutation

Explanation:

There are two types of base substitutions, transversions and transitions. A transition is when the a purine base is substituted with another purine base or a pyrimidine base is substituted with a pyrimidine base (e.g. Purines - A to G; G to A;  Pyrimidines - C to T; T to C). A transversion occurs when a purine base is substituted with a pyrimidine base or a pyrimidine base is substituted with a purine base (e.g. A to T; C to A).

There are three main types of mutations, these are missense mutations, nonsense mutations and silent mutations. Missense mutations occur when a base is changed and the codon now codes for a different amino acid to before the mutation. Nonsense mutations occur when a base is changed and now the codon codes for a stop codon causing a premature stop of the translation process. Silent mutations occur when a base is changed but the new codon still codes for the same amino acid as before the mutation.
