<u>Answer and Explanation</u>:

In reptiles, there are two mechanisms of sex determination:

-Genetic mechanisms, determined at the fertilization moment

-Environmental mechanisms, which are temperature-dependent.

Temperature is an environmental factor that affects different processes in organisms at a molecular level, biochemical level, or physiological level. In reptiles such as lizards, snakes, turtles, crocodiles, among other, temperature influences their embryonary development, their growth, daily activities, reproduction rate, sex determination, and etc.

In lizards, it occurs that whenever eggs are incubated at low temperatures, between 22 º and 27ºC, they produce a higher percentage of males, while eggs exposed to higher temperatures, 30ºC and above, produce more females. There are only a few degrees of temperature at which exposed eggs produce males and females equally.

The importance of knowing the mechanism of organisms´ sex determination lies in how climate change may be affecting wild populations due to fluctuations in temperature.

In the exposed example, the first cross between ZZ males and ZW females, genetics is the mechanism that determines the sex of progeny produced from eggs incubated at 24 and 35 degrees celsius. While in the second cross between ZZmales and ZZ females, temperature determines the sex of progeny produced from eggs incubated at 24 and 35 degrees celsius. This is, eggs exposed to temperatures below 28ºC will produce only males, so there won't be any female in the progeny. But eggs incubated at 30ºC and over will produce females, as shown in the table.

jonny [76]

DNA fragments are cut out restriction enzymes (restriction endonucleases) and then joined together using enzymes called DNA ligases.

<span>Restriction enzymes are enzymes which recognize target sequences (recognition sites) and cuts DNA at or near those sequences.</span>

DNA ligase is an enzyme that connects the gap between the molecules (if they have matching ends).

Ipatiy [6.2K]

When pieces of the granite get broken off and carried to a new place by weathering and erosion, the pieces can get deposited in the bottom of a lake or sea. Over time the sediments get compacted and cemented together to become sedimentary rock. Sandstone, limestone, and conglomerate can form this way.


Hope it helps, please give brainliest!

s2008m [1.1K]

Answer:

Option A, C and D

Explanation:

Mutations can be beneficial and call also not be beneficial. Examples of beneficial mutation includes laptop tolerance, HIV resistance etc. This mutations occur as changes in the nucleic acid sequences (DNA; which is made up of the four nitrogenous bases, deoxy/ribose sugar and phosphate group. Changes in these bases can bring about mutations that are beneficial) of organism and also it depends on where in the genetic code they occur. Beneficiary mutations can bring about increased fitness of the organisms involved.
