Main Topics:
Can you explain what epigenetics is and provide and example?
Can you explain why genetic diversity may cause a higher survival rate in individuals in a population, and include an illustrative example?
Can you explain why species with little biodiversity may be more at risk for extinction, and give an example to illustrate your point?
Can you give an example of how an environmental factor may influence gene expression?
Can you explain why the sickle cell allele will not diminish from the population due to the heterozygote advantage and malaria resistance?
Can you explain why the presence of two types of chlorophyll (a and b) increase the functioning of photoautotrophs?
