Question

Gene mutations can be passed on to future generations and drive natural selection. Choose the best description of how gene mutations are involved in evolution. A. Gene mutations often skip generations, with advantageous traits showing up several generations after the gene mutation was first introduced. B. Gene mutations can be dominant or recessive for an organism. Dominant genes will be adaptive for future generations, but recessive genes won't. C. All gene mutations are passed to future generations and over many generations will contribute to the evolution of new species. D. Gene mutations can be helpful, harmful, or neutral for an organism's survival. Only mutations that are helpful in the organism's environment would influence its survival and reproduction Some protists can reproduce both sexually and asexually. What's a major advantage of each? A. Sexual reproduction is less prone to making genetic mutations, and asexual reproduction increases genetic diversity. B. Sexual reproduction can be more rapid, and asexual reproduction allows the organism to produce an exact copy of itself. C. Sexual reproduction allows the organism to produce an exact copy of itself, and asexual reproduction can be more rapid. D. Sexual reproduction increases genetic diversity, and asexual reproduction can be more rapid. Cells have receptors on their surfaces to sense their environment and to communicate with other cells. Viruses use these cell receptors to A. cause the cell to move to an area well suited for viral replication. B. cause the cell to disintegrate, or lyse. C. insert their genetic material into the cellular genetic material. D. enter the cell. Mitochondria and chloroplasts, organelles inside of eukaryotic cells, have their own membranes and genetic material. This is evidence of A. coevolution. B. abiogenesis. C. the endosymbiotic theory. D. horizontal gene transfer.
