Inversion of DNA sequences within chromosomes is a common process in evolution. The following gene arrangements in a particular

chromosome are found in four different species:
First sequence: ABCDEF
Second sequence: ABFEDC
Third sequence: FEDABC
Fourth sequence: ADEFBC

Assuming that the arrangement in the first sequence is the ancestor/reference arrangement, in what evolutionary order did the four species arise, such that the fewest number of inversions occur between each species (place the first sequence as the earliest species in your ordering)?

Answer:

The correct answer is "Fist sequence; Fourth sequence; Second sequence; Third sequence".

Explanation:

Inversion of DNA is a process that often occurs during evolution of chromosomes. It occurs when the breakage of a chromosome in two places, results in the reinsertion of a DNA but in a reversed fashion. The evolutionary order of predecessors of inversion of DNA can be established by looking on the number of nucleotides that are different in the sequences of DNA. In this case, the first sequence is the ancestor and it haves the sequence "ABCDEF". The second in the evolutionary order is the fourth sequence since it originates from the first sequence only by changing the "BC" nucleotides to the end of the sequence "ADEFBC". The third in the evolutionary order is the second sequence since it still starts in AB, but has the other four nucleotides different: "ABFEDC". The last in the evolutionary order is the third sequence, which is completely different and reversed respect to the first sequence: "FEDABC".

Use the concept of a computer system to explain why it is difficult to determine clear distinct boundaries to a system. Include
Stells [14]

Answer: it is difficult because it is necessary to understand some concepts used in a system. For example what is a boundary, and environment which can be positive or negative, etc. A sample could be the course OpenLearn that provides an example of Computing & IT.

What type of weathering can be considered the "rusting" of rock?
In-s [12.5K]
Hello,

Chemical weathering can be considered by the "rusting of rock". 

Weathering can be described of the breaking down of rocks and other materials on the Earth's surface. There are three types of weathering: mechanical, chemical, and biological. Mechanical weathering is the type of weathering in which rock is physically broken into smaller pieces. Chemical weathering is the type  of weathering in which chemical changes break down rock. Biological weathering is the type of weathering in which animal, plant, and microbes means weaken and or disintegrate rock.

The fraction of offspring with black coat color and straight fur is 9/16.

Explanation:

Information given:

black coat colour and straight fur - dominant genotype BBCC, BbCc

yellow coat colour and curly fur - recessive genotype  bbcc

Both the traits are independently assorted. The fur colour and fur type is not present on the same chromosome and are not sex linked.

The genotype of the parents are:

BbCc X BbCc

Punnet square shows:

          BC           Bc          bC        bc

BC  BBCC   BBCc        BbCC   BbCc

Bc  BBCc   BBcc          BbCc    Bbcc

bC BbCC    BbCc         bbCC   bbCc

bc  BbCc      Bbcc         bbCc    bbcc

9 BLACK STRAIGHT

 3 BLACK CURLY

 3 YELLOW STRAIGHT

  1  YELLOW CURLY

9/16 is the fraction of progeny to be black coat colour and straight fur.

Which of the following is primarily responsible for limiting the number of trophic levels in most ecosystems?
solniwko [45]

Answer:

(B) Energy transfer between trophic levels is almost always less than 20% efficient.

Explanation:

The ultimate source of energy on the Earth is the Sun. The energy coming from the Sun is captured by green plants by the photosynthesis. During photosynthesis sun energy   is fixed into chemical energy (carbohydrate). So, in an ecosystem energy flow is unidirectional (from sun to the green plants). The fixed chemical energy from green plants is transferred to the herbivores then to carnivores through food. When one organism eats another organisms, only 10 % of the energy present in the organism is transferred as a food for the next organism and a large amount of energy is lost as heat into the environment. Thus, energy keeps on decreasing when stored energy moves from producers to top consumers. Thus, less than 20% energy transfer limits the trophic levels in most of the ecosystem.
