Answer:
The correct option is D. Genes determine the trait of an organism.
Explanation:
Option D is correct because genes can be described as the hereditary molecules that determine the characteristics of a person.
Option A is false because each gene is made up of different nucleotide sequences.
Option B is false because genes do not occur as the same number of chromosomes. Rather, there are many genes present on a single chromosome.
Option C is false because all genes are not located in a specific location. Each gene has its specific location on the chromosome which is known as its locus.
Option E is false because genes are not units of RNA. Genes are made up of DNA.
A. using new technology to provide additional supporting data.
Answer:
The likely explanation is that population 1 had traits which were more favorable to its survival than population 2's in the new conditions. It wouldn't have to do with food competition, but the traits they already have that may or may not be conducive to their survival in the new conditions.
Explanation:
Let me explain. Say a drought occurred on an island. Population 2 relied on eating bugs that lived in the green grasses. Population 1 relied on eating cactus fruit, which is drought-resistant. Say that because of the drought, population 2 started to decrease since there were less bugs to eat because the grasses dried up. Population 1 is unaffected because the bugs they eat were still in abundance.
This all has to do with the concept of natural selection. Species with traits that are good for their environment will likely do well unless a change in conditions occurs which makes their traits no longer favorable.
Hope that makes sense!
