The correct answer is stabilising selection. This is selection that favours an average trait value. It is thought that this sort of selection is very common as traits among most animals do not appear to change drastically over time. Stabilising selection selects against the extreme traits, and leads to a decrease in genetic diversity by favouring the average phenotypes.
Answer:
The correct option is option A
Explanation:
Restriction enzymes are endocleases that cleave DNA fragment (<u>of usually four, five or six nucleotide long</u>) at <u>specific sites to produce blunt or sticky ends</u>. They <u>recognize palindromic sequences of host DNA when cleaving the specific sites</u>. The sequences below (on complementary strands) give an example of a palindromic sequences.
5'-CCC║GGG-3'
3'-GGG║CCC-5'
As can be seen above, when read from 5' to 3', the two sequences are the same despite being on opposing strands. And when cut between the guanine (G) and cytosine (C) (as shown above), it produces a blunt end. But when cut as shown below produces a sticky end.
5'- G║AATTC -3'
3'- CTTAA║G -5'
The explanation above shows options C and D are right while option A is wrong (hence the correct option).
Also, bacteria prevent their own DNA from been digested by restriction enzymes by adding methyl group to their restriction sites <u>which prevents restriction enzymes from recognizing restriction sites of their DNA;</u> this generally makes bacterial DNA to be highly methylated. This explanation makes option B right also.
Threats to our native temperate grasslands include clearing, nutrient enrichment, inappropriate grazing, altered burning practices, neglect, fragmentation, tree planting and the invasion of exotic weed species like Serrated Tussock, African Lovegrass, St John's Wort and Phalaris.
