3. An animal population decreases from 800 individuals to 600 individuals. Which of the following could explain this

Biology
1 answer:
koban [17]2 years ago
4 0

The statement that could explain the reason for the decrease in population of an animal from 800 individuals to 600 individuals is: The population size of the animal's predator increased.

<h3>POPULATION:</h3>

Population refers to a collection or assemblage of individuals of a species of organism. A population decrease means loss of individuals of a species.

Population decrease can be attributed to the following reasons:

  1. Increase in the number of predators of that species.
  2. Emigration i.e. moving out
  3. Increase in competition within the population

This means that a population decrease in the animal in this question could be caused by an increase in the population of predators.

The system that enables 4 nucleotides to dictate the sequences of millions of proteins is called the __________.
alekssr [168]

Answer:

Genetic code

Explanation:

Genetic code refers to the set of rules by which the information encoded in the genetic material is translated into the proteins. The genetic code is present on the genes in the form of triplets of nucleotides  called codons which specifies the specific amino acid.

The codon system of the genetic code rules allows the 4 different nucleotides to form specific amino acids by the combination of the four different nucleotide in the triplets.

Thus, Genetic code is the correct answer.

Which of the following statements is false? - DNA polymerase joins nucleotides in one direction only. - The leading strand of DN
stiv31 [10]

DNA replication proceeds in one direction around the bacterial chromosome.

Explanation:

Replication of DNA is preserved across most of life. Therefore, even bacteria DNA replication occurs bidirectionally. During replication of DNA, A primer is required in the initiation complex before DNA polymersae can begin replication. This is because this enzyme works by adding DNA nucleotides at the 3’ end of an existing strand. DNA can have several replication forks on one double strand in which replication occurs. For every fork, there is a leading strand whereby the replication process by DNA polymerase is continuous and the lagging strand whereby the replication is done in bits by the same polymerase enzymes. The lagging strand will, therefore, require many primers. This is becaue strands of DNA are antiparallel yet the DNA polymerase has to move in one direction. Since replication can only occur in the 5’⇒3’ direction, the antiparallel strand will be done in 5’⇒3’ chunks that will later be joined into one strand.
