In 1831, Charles Darwin visited the Galapagos Islands While observing the giant land tortoises that lived on these islands, Darw

in noted that the shape of the tortoise shell varied depending on which island the tortoise lived. Tortoises on one island had round shells, for example, whereas tortoises on aneighboring island had more flattened, saddle-shaped shells. Which statement BEST summarizes Darwin's explanation for these differences?
A) Random mutations caused the shape of the shells to fluctuate periodically.
B) The shape of the tortoise shell varied because the predators on the islands were all similar.

Genrish500 [490]

Answer:

Position Effect

Explanation:

Position effect is referred to the effect on gene expression when the gene is translocated from the location it is on a chromosome to another location.

As it relates to gene silencing and euchromatic gene repositioning, Position effect variegation best explains it.

Position effect variegation occurs when a gene in some cells is silenced as a result  of rearrangement of chromosomes which translocate or reposition euchromatic genes close to vicinity of heterochomatin. It is this abnormal chromosomal juxtaposition that leads to the gene silencing in stochastic pattern.
