Hide Assignment Information Instructions INSTRUCTIONS You are bird hunting moths (both dark and light) that live on trees. As you capture the moths most easily visible against the tree surface, the moth populations change, illustrating the effects of natural selection. In this Lab, you will: Predict the color of moth that will survive better on various colors of tree trunks. Understand how camouflage can promote survival. Explain the process of natural selection.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer: The theory of natural selection suggests that some members of the population of species have better advantage of others for survival in terms of better phenotypic traits.

Explanation:

According to the given situation, the moths which have color that remain undetected by me as bird has a phenotypic advantage. As I may not be able to observe them on tree trunk or bark or on leaves I can eat only those moths that can be seen through my eyes. I can capture them easily. Such moths which can change their colors in accordance with the color of the tree can camouflage me easily and I cannot observe them and consume them. This promotes their survival over those detectable moths.

In Drosophila, the genes for eye color, wing shape, and wing length are located on chromosome II. Purple eyes (pr), arc bent wings (a), and vestigial wings (vg) are the mutant forms of the wild type traits red eyes, straight wings, and long wings, respectively. You've discovered some data in your genetics laboratory which indicates that the distance between vg and pr is 12.5 m.u., the distance between a and pr is 44.7 m.u., and the distance between a and vg is 32.2 m.u. what is the chance of a double crossover between these three genes

Answers

Answer:

The expected double recombinant frequency = 0.0402 = 4.02%

Explanation:

Available data:

genes for eye color, wing shape, and wing length are located on the same chromosomePurple eyes (pr) is the mutant form of the wild type traits red eyes (pr+)Arc bent wings (a) is the mutant form of the straight wings (a+)Vestigial wings (vg) are the mutant forms of the long wings (vg+)the distance between vg and pr is 12.5 m.uthe distance between a and pr is 44.7 m.uthe distance between a and vg is 32.2 m.u

→ Two genes that are very close will have a few recombination events and are strongly bounded.

→ The map unit is the distance between the pair of genes for which every 100 meiotic products, one of them results in a recombinant one.

1) First, we need to know their order in the chromosome, and to do so, we need to compare the distances between them.

The most distant pair is a-pr

----a---------------------------------------------pr---

    ║-------------------44,7 MU-------------║

From  gene a to vg there are 32.2 MU

----a-----------------------------vg--------------pr---

    ║-------------------44,7 MU-------------║

    ║----------32.2 MU------║

Finally, de distance from vg to pr is 12.5 MU

----a-----------------------------vg--------------pr---

    ║-------------------44,7 MU---------------║

    ║----------32.2 MU------║--12.5 MU--║

We can name region I to the distance between a-vg, and region II to the distance between vg-pr.

2) To calculate the recombination frequency, we have to know that 1% of recombinations = 1 map unit = 1cM. And that the maximum recombination frequency is always 50%.

1 MU -----------1% of recombination

32.2 MU -----X =  32.2 % of recombination

12.5 MU-------X =  12.5 % of recombination

3) The expected double recombinant frequency = recombination frequency in region I x recombination frequency in region II.

The expected d. recombinant frequency = 32.2%  x  12.5% = 0.322 x 0.125

The expected double recombinant frequency = 0.0402 = 4.02%

Explanation:

In fruit flies, curved wings (w) are recessive to the dominant straight wings (W), and ebony body (b) is recessive to the dominant gray body (B). A fly that has curved wings and ebony body is crossed with a fly that has straight wings and gray body. Of the offspring there were approximately equal numbers of straight gray, straight ebony, curved gray, curved ebony. What are the genotypes of the parents and offspring

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer =

parents : WwBb x wwbb

offspring :

WwBb, Wwbb, wwBb, and wwbb

Explanation:

It is given that the straight wings (W) is dominant over curved wings (w) and the ebony body (b) is recessive to the dominant gray body (B) and there is a cross between curved wings and ebony body and straight wings and gray body is made. The phenotypic ratio is: 1:1:1:1 for the four different phenotypes straight gray, straight ebony, curved gray, curved ebony.

It is not given the genotype of parents, however, for the curved and ebony fly, it is clear that both alleles are recessive as recessive alleles only appear in absence of the dominant allele of the trait.

For another parent, the possible genotypes can be  WWBB or WwBb, however in the case of WWBB the phenotypic ratio would not be equal therefore,

crossing WwBb x wwbb

This can be represented in the form of a punnett square as below:

          wb   wb           wb           wb  

WB WwBb WwBb WwBb WwBb Straight wing, Gray body

Wb Wwbb Wwbb Wwbb Wwbb Straight wing, Ebony body

wB wwBb wwBb wwBb wwBb Curved wing, Gray body

wb wwbb wwbb wwbb wwbb Curved wing, Ebony Body

The phenotypic ratio is: 1:1:1:1 for the four different phenotypes

The skin cells of an organism are analyzed and cells identified in G1 and have an average of 12 picograms of DNA. In the same organism a cell from gonadal tissues is identified and that single cell contains 6 picograms of DNA. Given this information, which of the following is true about the single gonadal tissue cell with 6pg of DNA?
1. The cell is at the beginning of Prophase I.
2. The cell has already completed meiosis.
3. The cell is not dividing (is in interphase).
4. The cell contains unduplicated chromosomes.

Answers

Answer:

El Rasho Macuin

Explanation:

The statement which is true about the single gonadal tissue cell with 6 picograms of DNA is that the cell has already completed meiosis. So, the correct option is B.

What do you mean by DNA?

It is a complex molecule that contains all the information necessary to build and maintain an organism. It stands for Deoxyribonucleic acid. It is considered the genetic material in most organisms.

The skin cells in the G1 phase have an average of 12 picograms of DNA. As the amount of DNA in the G1 phase is 2C, hence 2C = 12 pg of DNA.

Now in the same organism, a cell from gonadal tissue is identified and that single cell contains 6 pg of DNA, which means, the amount of DNA is 6 pg that is C. Therefore, after the completion of meiosis, the cell contains half the amount of DNA as compared to the parent cell in G1.

So, Amount of DNA = C = 6 pg.

Therefore, the statement which is true about the single gonadal tissue cell with 6 picograms of DNA is that the cell has already completed meiosis.

D/ Only options A and B may be true.
F/Antions A, B and C may be true.

Answers

Answer:

A, B and C may be true

Explanation:

The three-dimensional structure (3D) of a protein, also known as tertiary structure, is critical to its function. In general, the 3D protein structure consists of alpha-helix and beta-sheets (secondary structures) associated through disordered coiled-coil regions. Genetic mutations may cause modifications in the 3D protein structure by modifying amino acids that are added to the growing polypeptide chain during the process of translation. In consequence, the relationships among amino acids (i.e., the intermolecular attractive forces that hold them together) may also be altered by these mutations. In general, mutations that generate amino acid changes at the active site of the enzyme will have a deleterious effect, thereby decreasing or inactivating protein function. However, there are situations where a mutation may be beneficial and can eventually increase the rate of reaction of a protein.

Environmental scientists calculating pollutant half-lives often define a transport rate constant that is analogous to a reaction rate constant and describes how a pollutant moves out of an ecosystem. In a study of the gasoline additive MTBE in Donner Lake, California, scientists from the University of California, Davis, found that in the summer the half-life of MTBE in the lake was 26.01 days. Assume that the transport process is first order. What was the transport rate constant of MTBE out of Donner Lake during the study

Answers

Answer:

k ≈ [tex]2.7 *10^{-2} d^{-1}[/tex]

Explanation:

For a first order reaction

Half life ( [tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] ) = 0.693 / k

k = rate constant

[tex]t_{1/2}[/tex] = 26.01

hence k = 0.693 / ( 26.01)

          k ≈ 2.7 * 10^-2 d^-1

Rainforest biome (tropical rainforest)

Explanation:

The characteristics of the tropical rainforest biome are:

Located in humid and warm regions of equatorial climate.Medium temperature among 18 and 30 ºCAnnual precipitation is around 1000 and 8000 millimeters. Precipitation levels are never inferior to 1500 mm. There is no dry season, or if there is, it is too short. There is no hydric deficit. Fanerophic species dominate in this biome. Evergreen tall trees might reach up to 50 meters in height. They develop dense foliation and branches, becoming a refuge and source of food for many species. Vegetation does not need to develop strategies for surviving the dry season. Instead, they need to develop strategies for competing for light and nutrients. We can find different species of plants such as epiphytes, lianas, stranglers, aerial-rooted pants, tabular-rooted plants, among other vegetation forms. Tropical and subtropical rainforests might differentiate from each other in latitude and seasonality. Tropical rainforests might be found in latitudes of the Capricorn and Cancer tropics. From cero to ten degrees latitude. They are in America, Africa, and Asia continents. It is the biome with the greatest biodiversity on the planet. Rainforests have an extraordinary richness of animals and plants.

 

What is digestion and how does it work

Answers

Answer:

Digestion is the breakdown of large insoluble food molecules into small water-soluble food molecules so that they can be absorbed into the watery blood plasma. In certain organisms, these smaller substances are absorbed through the small intestine into the blood stream.

Explanation:

Digestion works by moving food through the GI tract. Digestion begins in the mouth with chewing and ends in the small intestine. As food passes through the GI tract, it mixes with digestive juices, causing large molecules of food to break down into smaller molecules. The body then absorbs these smaller molecules through the walls of the small intestine into the bloodstream, which delivers them to the rest of the body. Waste products of digestion pass through the large intestine and out of the body as a solid matter called stool.

What is compensation point ?​

Answers

The (light) compensation point is the light intensity on the light curve where the rate of photosynthesis exactly matches the rate of cellular respiration. ... For instance, in the early morning and late evenings, the compensation point may be reached as photosynthetic activity decreases and respiration increases.

The Compensation Point is the point at which Photosynthesis and Respiration are in balance, so (in a perfect world) the amount of oxygen being produced by photosynthesis will just balance the amount being used by respiration. At this point there will be NO oxygen bubbles being produced in the leaf discs.

➜ When the rate of photosynthesis is equal to rate of respiration, it is called as compensation point.

The rate of liberation of O2 during photosynthesis is equal to the rate of liberation of CO2 during respiration.Thus, there is no net uptake of gases from the environment.Compensation point is usually reached at dusk and down and on a cloudy day.

An identification of the specific alleles found at each of the relevant mouse loci on the two homologous chromosomes (i.e., all allele pairs of a genotype). One or more allele pairs can make up an allele combination.

Genetic linkage is the capacity of a chromosome to transmit alleles that are near to one another as a whole unit through meiosis. Inheritance of traits is also understood by this principle. It is useful in locating the genes that are in charge of characteristics and diseases.

The person is homozygous for the allele if the two alleles are the same. The person is heterozygous if the alleles are different.
