Answer:
Evolution is driven by rare mutations that occur in the DNA of organisms. These mutations could be lethal, neutral and some advantageous. The lethal mutations cannot exist in a population because the offspring is unable to survive to term in pregnancy or dies just after birth. The neutral are ones that do not considerably affect the organisms – though they could result in a disadvantage. The beneficial ones are the one that is kept in the population by natural selection because they confer an advantage e.g in the fight for resources or escaping predation and etcetera. Therefore, it's like a game of chances by nature. Paleontologists discover many species of organisms some of which are imperfect because nature produced them but they died off because their mutations gave them a disadvantage against better-adapted individuals.
The <em>Tiktaalik</em> fish from 375 million years ago became extinct because it did not well-developed eardrum for detecting vibrations in water which is significant in survival.
Dinosaurs during development of feathers had many imperfect species before the right wings for flight were conjured up by nature. An imperfect species is the <u><em>Tianyulong confucius</em></u> had stiff feathers that lacked vanes hence were not ideal for flight
The correct answer is option A. Carrying the genetic code and determining an organism's structure and function are the functions of DNA. It is the hereditary material in almost all other organisms. The information in a DNA is stored as codes that is composed of chemical bases.
Why conserve water? Because fresh water is rare and the process to clean water is expensive; therefore it shouldn’t be wasted. The next time you are tempted to waste water, think of all poor people who can’t afford clean water. Many children die and suffer everyday from dehydration and water that are unclean. :(
Answer:
Makali may produce only small amounts of a non-mutated (wild-type) GALT enzyme.
Makali may have normal amounts of GALT, but the enzyme may be mutated.
Explanation:
Makali is lactose intolerant because of his ancestry. Because of this he is not able to digest any lactose which indirectly protected him from galactosemia. Thus he must avoid consuming galactose. He has a low GALT or galactose 1‑phosphate uridylyltransferase activity. He has a normal amount of GALT and may produce only small amounts.
