Why a genetic bottleneck can be an important evolutionary factor for a species

Biology
1 answer:
melisa1 [442]2 years ago
6 0

Answer:

Genetic drift decreases genetic diversity within a population.

Explanation:

Genetic drift decreases genetic diversity within a population. It is a change in allele frequencies due entirely to random chance and is more likely to affect smaller populations than large ones. Population bottlenecks can lead to genetic drift.

A phagocytic cell has a mutation in a gene for a hydrolytic enzyme that renders the enzyme nonfunctional. What is the most likel
pshichka [43]

Answer: The phagocyte’s ability to destroy the ingested pathogen is compromised and it will become inactive.

Explanation:

There are different hydrolytic enzymes. Lysozyme attacks cell walls of gram positive bacteria. Elastase is a protease. Collagenase attacks collagen, produced by some bacteria. Plasminogen activator is also a protease.

Loss of function of any one of these enzymes will reduce or prevent the breakdown of bacteria in the phagosome (vacuole) so that the phagocyte is inactivated.

Difference between macro algae and salt marsh plants/mangrove trees
Yakvenalex [24]
<span>Although both macro algae and mangrove trees are multicellular and share many of the same structural features, macro algae are not true plants. Also, mangrove trees and marsh plants typically live in brackish water rather than salt water and are not completely submerged, as opposed to macro algae.</span>

How many times larger is a eukaryotic cell than a prokaryotic cell
jek_recluse [69]

Answer:

The eukaryotic cell is 10 to 100 times larger than the prokaryotic cells.

Explanation:

The eukaryotic cell is 10 to 100 times larger than the prokaryotic cells. The prokaryotic cells are primitive, simpler in structure. The eukaryotic cells are complex in structure and have different adaptation for various cellular activities.  

All the cells have cytoplasm, cell membrane, nucleus. In prokaryotes, the nucleus is not well defined and no other membrane-bound organelles.

e.g. bacteria, archaea.

The diameter of prokaryotic cells is smaller than the eukaryotic cells. Because the transport of ions and cell division is faster in it. Its diameter ranges from 0.1 micrometers to 5.0 micrometers. While eukaryotic cell diameter is 10 to 100 micrometers.  

The small size of the prokaryotes is an advantage to its cellular processes whereas the eukaryotic cells are larger.  Because it has to adapt to the function of different cell organelles present in it.
