As natural selection acts on a trait in a population, how will the amount of variation associated with that trait in the populat

ion change________.
Biology

Orlov [11]2 years ago
4 0

Answer:

The amount of variation associated with a trait in a population changes because natural selection selects those alleles that are beneficial for the survival of the individual so it increase the frequency of beneficial alleles of a trait and eliminates those allele which reduce the reproductive fitness of an individual.

So the population which have traits that are non-beneficial will be eliminated by natural selection and the population with the beneficial variant trait are selected to live and reproduce to pass their offsprings.

Which phrases correspond to "spontaneous generation?"?
vova2212 [387]

Answer:

2 & 4

Explanation:

The theory of spontaneous generation stipulated that life emanated spontaneously from ‘nothing’. This was believed to be true until Francesco Redi & Luis Pasteur later falsified this theory using an experiment. He had two plates of cooked meat. He covered one with a glass bowl and left the other open. The plate with a bowl did not develop maggots while the open one did. This showed that maggot was as a result of hatched eggs that were deposited by flies. Life, therefore, emanates from life.

Total nucleic acids are extracted from a culture of yeast cells and are then mixed with resin beads to which the polynucleotide
mr Goodwill [35]

The question is incomplete as it does not have the options which are:

(a)DNA (b)tRNA (c)rRNA (d)mRNA

Answer:

Option-mRNA

Explanation:

The mRNA is synthesized from the DNA and which is also a type of nucleic acid. When the nucleic acid is extracted from the yeasts and then mixed with the resin beads to which the polynucleotide with thymine base oar is attached.

The mRNA will bind to the resin bead as the mRNA after synthesis undergoes modification and attaches poly A tail to the end of the mRNA at 3' end.

This poly-A tail has adenine which easily binds to the thymine and thus mRNA easily attaches to the resin bead.

Thus, mRNA is correct.

Soil erosion is a process where the top soil layer is washed away because of the effects of water or wind. An agricultural area
Lana71 [14]

Answer: Plant vegetation so that their roots hold the soil firmly.

Build walls around the farm area.

Add natural fertilizers to the soil.

Soil erosion is a process of removal of top layer of soil which get sediment at some other place due to the affect of agents like wind and water. The superficial upper layers of soil are rich source of nutrients and organic matter and active region for germination of seeds and plant growth. Soil erosion removes these superficial layers making soil less fertile or not fertile and less useful for plant growth.

Plants growing in a vegetation have roots which can hold the soil and will prevent soil erosion from wind and water or any other agent. Building of walls around the farm area will prevent flood water to get inside the farm area and hence, prevents soil erosion by water. Addition of natural fertilizers to the soil adds up nutrients to the soil which facilitate plant growth and plant roots hold the soil therefore, prevents soil erosion.

What portion of the electromagnetic spectrum is most absorbed by the chlorophyll pigments in the thylakoid membr?
vfiekz [6]
<span>Chlorophyll is essential in photosynthesis, allowing plants to absorb energy from light. Chlorophylls absorb light most strongly in the blue portion of the electromagnetic spectrum as well as the red portion. The absorption spectrum of chlorophyll a alone underestimates the effectiveness of certain wavelengths in driving photosynthesis. This is partly because accessory pigments with different absorption spectra are also photosynthetically important in chloroplasts and broaden the spectrum of colors that can be used for photosynthesis.</span>
