The peppered moth provides a well-known example of natural selection. The light-colored form of the moth was predominant in England before the Industrial Revolution. In the mid-nineteenth century, a dark-colored form appeared. The difference is produced by a dominant allele of one gene. By about 1900, approximately 90% of the moths around industrial areas were dark colored, whereas light-colored moths were still abundant elsewhere. Apparently, birds could really find the light morhs against the soot-darkened background in industrial areas and, therefore, were eating more light moths. Recently, use of cleaner fuels has greatly reduced soot in the landscape, and the dark-colored moths have been disappearing.

1.What forces are causing evolutionary change in these populations?
2. Should the two forma be considered separate species?
3. How would you determine if these are separate species?
4. Give a prediction for what future generations of moths will look like and explain why.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) Natural selection

b) Different

c) Different genotypes

d) Evolution of dark colored moth species from the light colored moth species

Explanation:

a) The pressure of selection due to the changing color of bark of tree because of air pollution caused by industries leads to natural selection in a way that dark colored moth are emerging

b) Yes the two forms of moths are two different species.

c) The genotype of the two species is different

d) All the moths will be of dark color in order to save themselves from predation. This will lead to evolution of dark colored moth species from the light colored moth species and hence will lead to extinction of light colored moth

When does DNA replication occur within the cell cycle?

Answers

Answer:

Interphase

Explanation:

The S phase of a cell cycle occurs during interphase, before mitosis or meiosis, and is responsible for the synthesis or replication of DNA. In this way, the genetic material of a cell is doubled before it enters mitosis or meiosis, allowing there to be enough DNA to be split into daughter cells.

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.

Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

C) groundwater will puddle up and remain in one place instead of flowing to a central point

D) impervious surfaces such as roads and parking lots will divert water flow and it will not reach its endpoint

Answers

Answer:

B) runoff will increase and less water will penetrate the soil to become groundwater.

D) impervious surfaces such as roads and parking lots will divert water flow and it will not reach its endpoint

Explanation:

The runoff will increase and less water will penetrate into the soil to become groundwater if natural vegetation is replaced by impervious surfaces. The natural vegetation helps to lower the speed and intensity by absorbing large amount of water. Due to this absorbing, there is an increase occur in the concentration of groundwater level which increases underground water reserves for the coming generations. These impervious surfaces also act as a barrier that diverts water and prevents the water to reach to its ending point.

To measure a population’s baseline genetic state, it must have _____________ to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium.

A) Gene Flow

B) Random Mating

C) Selection

D) Mutations

Answers

Answer:

Random mating

hope it helps!

There are five basic Hardy-Weinberg assumptions: no mutation, random mating, no gene flow, infinite population size, and no selection. If the assumptions are not met for a gene, the population may evolve for that gene (the gene's allele frequencies may change).

To measure a population’s baseline genetic state, it must have random mating to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (Option B).

The Hardy-Weinberg principle state that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant across generations in the absence of different evolutionary forces.

The Hardy-Weinberg assumptions include random mating, no mutation, no gene flow, infinite population size, and absence of selection.

In consequence, random mating acts to prevent any change in the allele frequencies.

In conclusion, to measure a population’s baseline genetic state, it must have random mating to be in Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium (Option B).

Proinsulin is converted into insulin by: a. proteolytic excision of a specific peptide. b. allosteric binding of glucose. c. phosphorylation to the active form. d. removal of phosphate by converter enzymes. e. none of the above. ANSWER: a

Answers

Answer:

1-For the first one, the statement which is not correct about enzyme regulation is the statement e which is The activity of an enzyme is covalently affected by allosteric regulators

2-The example which does not have a zymogen and activating protease is example b which is procarboxypeptidase and elastase.

3-The process by which proinsulin is converted into insulin is by method a which is proteolytic excision of a specific peptide.

Explanation:

1-All the other statements are correct as indicated below:

a-Enzymes can be inhibited by the products they produce. This is true because the rate of production is reduced in cases of some products. this indicates that the enzymes are not being able to further act.

b-Enzymes can be inactivated by the addition of a functional group. This is true because enzymes can be activated and inactivated manually.

c-Coenzyme and substrate availability can regulate enzyme reaction rate. This is true because lack or shortage conenzyme or substrate can reduce the reaction rate due to lack of availability of required components.

d-The reaction rate slows as equilibrium is approached. This is true as the reaction reaches equilbrium less products are converted back to reactants and less reactants are converted into products.

2-

Similarly all the other examples for 2 have either an activating protease or zymogen except procarboxypeptidase and elastase.

3-

The proinsulin has a specific peptide which is excised thus only option a is correct.
