What is the value to a species of having genetic diversity?
Scientists are studying two populations of the same species of sea turtle. One population is quite small, with only 18 individuals, and the other is much larger, with 147 individuals. If a genetic factor such as a mutation were introduced to both populations at the same time, what could scientists predict about the impact?
Why is our gene annotation important?
a) Gene annotation done by real people is more accurate than if done by
computer algorithm.
b) Gene annotation creates a 'map' of the parts of a gene.
c) Gene annotation allows us to compare gene structure between species to
learn about how genes evolved.
d) All of the above

- Example 3The Basque people, who have a distinct language, live on the coastal border of France and Spain. The 700,000 modern Basques had long been thought to descend from hunter-gatherers who lived in the area about 7,500 years ago, before the first farmers arrived. DNA told a different story. Researchers compared the genome sequences of bones from eight Basque farmers who had lived in a cave in northern Spain from 5,500 to 3,500 years ago to genomes from other skeletons representing severalEuropean hunter-gatherers and early farming groups, as well as to modern Europeans. While the ancient farmers had genomes representing many groups, including those of hunter-gatherers, the Basques indeed have a unique genome – but one that descends from the earliest farmers, not from hunter-gatherers. Apparently, their uniqueness today is due to their self-imposed isolation as the rest of Europe interbred. Source: Lewis, Ricki. Human Genetics Concepts and Applications (2018). Twelfth edition.…arrow_forwardA student lists statements about how a species adapts to the environment. One statement needs to be edited for accuracy. 1. Variation in a species occurs from predictable mutations. 2. Variation exists in the phenotypes of the species. 3. Physical characteristics influence an organism's ability to utilize resources. 4. Physical characteristics affect an organism's ability to reproduce. Which statement should be edited, and what should the change be? O Statement1-Variation in a species occurs from random mutations. O Statement 2-Variation exists in the genes of the species. Statement 3-Physical characteristics influence an organism's ability to find resources. O Statement 4-Behavioral characteristics affect an organism's ability to reproduce.arrow_forwardScientists discovered a new species of fish.
