In a population of deer there are two alleles, p and q. Individuals with allele p are faster than those with allele q and so are better at avoiding predation by wolves. Explain how natural selection will affect the characteristics of the deer population.

In the population, there is genetic variation with some individuals possessing allele p and some possessing allele q. Predation by wolves acts as a selection pressure on the genetic variation in the populati...

Describe the stages in DNA transcription and translation

DNA is unziped by DNA helicase. RNA polymerase catalyses the formation of a complementary strand of pre-mRNA, using the non-coding strand of DNA as a template. The pre-mRNA contains non-coding regions (intro...

How does co-transport work?

Co-transport is a type of transport across cell membrane and it requires transport proteins embedded in the membrane of the cell. The best way to explain how this process works is to exemplify it. Good examp...
