Which of the following statements best compares genetic diversity in eukaryotes and prokaryotes?A. Both eukaryotes and prokaryotes can transfer DNA using conjugation and fertilization.
B. Eukaryotic species experience a greater rate of mutations within their populations.
C. Mutations increase the genetic diversity in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.
D. Sexually reproducing eukaryotes evolve faster than species that reproduce asexually.

Answers

Answer 1
Answer:

Answer:

C. Mutations increase the genetic diversity in both prokaryotes and eukaryotes.

Explanation:

It is a well-established fact that mutations increase the genetic diversity in living organisms (especially if they are positive mutations). The positive and faster mutations will help the organism to develop better traits for survival in the changing environments.

The other options are incorrect because of the following reasons:

A. Eukaryotes don't do gene transfer via conjugation.

B. Eukaryotic species don't experience a greater rate of mutations as compared to the prokaryotes. Prokaryotes have a faster mutation rate. This is the reason that microbes can adapt to changing environments faster than humans or other multicellular organisms.

D. As mentioned above, sexually reproducing eukaryotic species evolves slower than the asexually reproducing species. For example, evolution in bacteria (e.g. drug resistance) is faster than any organism belonging to eukaryotic lineage.

Answer 2

What powers did The Empire of Great Britain have over its people

Answers

Answer:

The Empire of Great Britain had a "global power," which was also known as a "superpower" concerning resources, influences and geopolitical landscapes.

Explanation:

When it comes to international relations, the power of a country or a nation is very important. It is an inherent goal that many people want. It can be used in many situations such as cooperating with other countries, coercing people to follow a rule, securing the nation and developing the nation, etc.

The Empire of Great Britain was considered, together with USA and the Soviet Union, to have a "superpower." Only the strongest nation possess such power. It was able to control millions of people, which then resulted into a great expansion. The reason behind this is that they had a stricter rule than other nations and people followed it. This made them stronger and while they continued expanding, they were able to acquire more resources.

Check off all the boxes that describe a reason why Eukaryotic organisms need to carry out cell replications. a) to grow
b) to create more cells
c) to reproduce
d) to repair damaged tissue
I think the answer is B and C I'm just not sure. can you check? thanks!

Answers

Eukaryotic organisms need to carry out cell replications in order to:

>to grow
>to repair damaged tissue

>>>
 Replication means that the DNA, with all its genes, must be copied every time a cell divides so that during growth and repair the newly formed cells have the correct genetic material.

A neuron is damaged in a way that doesn't allow its potassium ion gates to open. Which of the following would be directly affected?Receiving a stimulus
Repolarization
Reaching the threshold
Depolarization

Answers

Answer:

Option B - Repolarization

Explanation:

The change in the membrane potential to a negative value just after action potential is known as repolarization phase.

In cell, the depolarization event allows sodium channel to open. The cell after a short period of time allows the event of repolarization. The repolarizationevent occurs due to outflow of K+ ions. Thus, a damaged neuron will prevent the repolarization event.
