B. some individuals in the original population had the mutations that led to resistance.
C. DDT caused the mutations that led to resistance.
D. somatic mutations in the original population were passed on to subsequent generations.

Explanation:

A population of mosquitoes is exposed to the pesticide DDT for several generations. At the end of that time, most individuals in the population are resistant to DDT and the most likely reason is that  some individuals in the original population had the mutations that led to resistance. Option B is correct.

What is mutation ?

Mutation is the change in which there is slight change in the genome sequence of a DNA or RNA along with the gene. The mutation lead to various types to adaptations along with the diseases.        

Resistance is the condition when the species on the multiple exposures develop certain kind of adaptations to it and these traits are sometime inherited sometimes not inherited.

Mutations are friendly as well where sometimes a disease causing mutation can be altered with the further mutation in it.

Therefore on the multiple exposure it led to condition of resistance in  the species.

Explanation:

B.Identify the type of natural selection (directional, stabilizing, or disruptive) that will most likely act on the beetle population. The type of natural selection you identified in part (b) will change the phenotype distribution.

What do you mean by the term natural selection?

Natural selection is the process in which the species are adapted to their environment.

Natural selection leads to evolution  when the people having certain characteristics posses the greater chance of survival than the others that are not adapted to the changes, these adapted characteristics are passed to the next generations.

6. Which marrow was denser (had more mass in the given volume)? What impact would that have on the overall density of the bone?

Answers

Answer:

The beef bone marrow was denser than the chicken bone because it had more mass in the given volume. Since the chicken must fly, it cannot have its bones weighing it down on the land. However, cows must find grass on land and travel long distances. This would increase the overall density of the bone.

What do you think would happen to the population of rabbits, if the population of foxes decreased?

Answers

Answer:

the population of rabbits might increase

Explanation:

With less predators to eat them, the rabbit population will likely go up if the fox population decreases; assuming there are favorable factors such as plenty of food and habitat for the rabbits. At some point, there is a maximum limit to the number of rabbits that a certain location can hold. Once this limit is reached, (some of) the rabbits will migrate elsewhere or unfortunately die off.

As the rabbit population increases, the fox population may rebound and start increasing again. This is due to more food being available to the smaller amount of foxes, and there is less competition for food. So the rebounding fox population will likely bring down the rabbit population to a point where food will get more scarce for the foxes. This cycle repeats itself where one population increases while the other decreases, and vice versa. They are very strongly linked together. It's also possible that both will increase together if environmental factors are favorable, but they could easily decrease together if a habitat is being destroyed for instance. It will depend on the circumstance.

substance in which the monomer is a nucleotide _______
A - Carbohydrates
B - Nucleic Acids
C - Proteins
D - Fats

Answers

The answer is nucleic acids

Nucleic acid is a substance in which the monomer is a nucleotide. Therefore, option B is correct.

What are nucleic acids?

Biopolymers and macromolecules called nucleic acids are important for all known forms of life. They are constructed of monomers called nucleotides, which are composed of a nitrogenous base (adenine, guanine, thymine, uracil, and cytosine), a phosphate group, and a 5-carbon sugar.

The components that make up an individual's genetic code are nucleic acids. Deoxyribonucleic acid (DNA) and ribonucleic acid are the principal two examples of nucleic acids (RNA). They have an important role in heredity and protein synthesis.

Thus, A nucleotide serves as the monomer of a material known as nucleic acid. Therefore, option B is correct.

Your friend Joe has a younger brother Sam and two older sisters. Sam has a strange disorder that has caused his hair to turn green. The doctor says that this is caused by a single gene that is inherited, and that boys are more likely to have green hair then girls. However Joe, his sisters, and both of his parents have normal hair color. Joe does not know much biology and is confused. Explain to Joe how his brother's condition could have arisen even though Joe has normal hair. Then discuss the likelihood that a) Joe, and b) Sam will have children with green hair. Assume that they both marry women with normal hair color. You will need to include information on meiosis and transmission of genes to assure that Joe understands. HINT: As part of your answer, indicate the percent of girls vs. boys that you predict would have green hair if fathered by Joe vs. Sam.

Answers

Answer:

The correct answer is - it is due to the case of sex-linked recessive disorder.

Explanation:

It is pointed out by the doctor that Sam has a condition due to recessive allele and it is given that boys have this condition more than girls which suggests that it is a sex-linked recessive disorder. This comes from their parents but it is given that the father has normal hair which means the father has no recessive allele, then it must come from the mother even mother has not this condition but she could be a carrier for this trait.

Joe and his sister do not have this condition as they get the normal dominant allele from mother and father.

The chances of being a carrier by his sisters are 50%. If Joe marries

IF Joe marries a non-carrier woman, he will have all normal children with no green hair. IF Joe marries a normal hair color carrier women then there would 25% chances of being diseased offspring and 50% chances of being a carrier, and if women is completely normal then all offspring will be normal.

carrier woman, his children will have a 25% chance of being green-haired. A 25% chance of being

IF Sam marries a normal woman, the children will have a 25% chance of being a carrier, a 25% chance of being green-haired, and a 50% chance of being normal.

(a) Describe why monitoring the growth rate of the E. Coli-M bacteria is a useful indicator of the effect of the glycolytic enzyme mutation on the bacteria.

Answers

Answer:

The monitoring the growth rate of E.Coli bacteria is a useful indicator of the effect of glycotic enzyme mutation on the bacteria as the flow of intracellular metabolic components depends on the availability of carbon. Hence the change in carbon source can change the glyclyotic enzyme mutation up or down.

Explanation:

Continuous culture is a method that can be used by the researchers for determining whether mutation affects the growth rate of E.Colin-M bacteria

If the growth medium contains higher concentration of acetate,then the growth of the bacteria will be inhibited without inhibiting its central metabolism.

When E.Coli grows ,it secrets acetate. This mechanism is called overflow mechanism. Regulatory interactions mediated by acetyl-phosphate plays a major role in inhibiting growth by acetate. The uncoupling effect of organic acids or perturbation of the anion composition of the cell is a major reason for growth inhibition.
