Answer:
Two European men and two Polynesian women settled on a previously uninhabited tropical island. All four of the settlers have brown eyes, a dominant trait, but one of the Europeans is heterozygous and carries the recessive gene for blue eyes. No new settlers arrive,and nobody leaves the island.After a few generations,the percentage of blue-eyed individuals increases from the original zero to 25 percent.This is probably due to which of the following factors?
genetic drift
Explanation:
Genetic drift entails when there are changes in the gene frequency which occur in a gene that is existing. From the analogy above, it is a known fact that only gneetic drift could allow such to happen as mutation will only occur with a sudden change of gene which is not the case described above
The Answer Is A. Hope This Helps ;P
Answer:
Transcription and RNA processing (splicing)
Explanation:
Although Howard is almost right, the DNA sequence does not precisely relate to the protein sequence. First of all, the DNA is transcribed to an primary mRNA molecule. Bur before the mRNA is ready to be translated into an amino acid sequence, it must be processed into a mature mRNA.
This includes adding a 3' poly A tail, and a 5' cap, and importantly for this question, splicing.
Splicing is the removal of non protein coding intermediate sequences called introns from the protein coding regions (exons) of a primary mRNA. This means that lots of the DNA sequence is not dictated by the final protein, as many of the intervening sequences have been removed by splicing.
Answer:
B)provide molecular or genetic information, as well as morphological information.
Explanation:
Systematics is the science of classification and phylogeny reconstruction. Studies diversity as a consequence of evolutive history and establishes the bases to reconstruct biological patterns and formulate hypotheses to explain the processes of these patterns. It reconstructs the origin and diversification of a taxon. Systematics creates systems of classification represented in a tree. Taxonomy is based on systematics.
The main goal of systematics is to solve the genealogical relationship between different species and biological groups that produces natural clusters.
Systematic considers morphological characters, as well as physiological, cytological, molecular, and behavioral characters.
Hi,
If a point mutation occurs during which CGA changes to AGA, the mutation will be simply inherited to the offspring and there won't be any harsh effects on the health of individual.
This is because, both AGA and CGA code for same amino acid called Arginine.
We know that mutations posses harmful effects when they change the genetic sequence leading to the incorporation of incorrect amino acid in the organisms and their offspring. But in this case the mutation will not be harmful and will simply be transferred to the offspring and will have no effect on the functioning, fitness or survival of the organism
Hope it helps!:)
