Answer:
1. Archipelago in Ecuador
2. Different beaks
3. He used Darwinism/ survival of the fittest / evolution to explain these adaptations. The birds on different islands adapted to varying, but specific food types.
4. mutation, gene flow, genetic drift, and natural selection.
Mutation creates new genetic variation in a gene pool.
Gene flow and genetic drift alter allele frequencies in a gene pool.
5. The finches have few predators / competition for food.
Explanation:
1. Galapagos Islands located in archipelago in Ecuador near the west side of pacific ocean.
2. Different beaks variations did Charles Darwin observe after studying the Galapagos finches.
What are Galapagos Islands known for?The Galápagos are best known for their diverse of plant and animal species. Many species are endemic, that means they are not found anywhere else in the world.
3. Darwin used theory as he gave that survival of the fittest and other will die and evolution to explain these adaptations. The birds on different islands adapted to varying, but specific food types.
4. Darwin’s on the origin of Species, four factors affect evolution are
mutation: a mutation is a change in the DNA sequence of an organism. gene flow: is the introduction of genetic material from one population of a species to another, that leads to change in the composition of the gene pool of the receiving population.genetic drift: is a mechanism of evolution featured by random fluctuations in the frequency of a specific version of a gene (allele) in a population.natural selection: is the process by which populations of living organisms adapt and change.5. Daphne Major was the ideal place to study the evolution of the finches because the finches have few predators / competition for food on that island.
6. The four factors that affect evolution are mutations, natural selection, genetic drift and the gene flow, In the case, if the ground finches which Grants studied, we can observe the working of the natural selection.

Explanation:
Write a scientific explanation to explain how natural selection and adaptation increase or decreases the chances of survival for the mice if they entered one another’s environment.
Answer:
Natural selection is a factor of biological evolution, by means of which individuals who possess a certain characteristic tend to prevail over those who lack such characteristic. Thus, by reproducing, individuals with favorable characteristics end up imposing their own set of characteristics, taking control of the environment in which they develop and relegating other individuals or condemning them to their extinction or displacement.
Thus, in the case, if some mice entered the environment of others, most likely they would not be able to adapt to the conditions to which the original group of that environment had previously adapted. In this way, natural selection itself would make the new mice end up disappearing from it, in favor of the mice that already lived there and that, therefore, had adapted their characteristics to those of the environment.

In the tenth game he starts, he allows 9 runs. Let B represent the set of the number of runs allowed in all ten games he has started.
Select the true statements.
The median of B is 1 run more than the median of A.
The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A.
The interquartile range of A is 1 less than the interquartile range of B.
The median of A is the same as the median of B.
Including the runs allowed in the tenth game does not cause the spread of the data to
change.
Answer:
(b) The interquartile range of B is greater than the interquartile range of A.
(d) The median of A is the same as the median of B.
Explanation:
Given
[tex]A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}[/tex]
[tex]10th\ run = 9[/tex]
So:
[tex]B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}[/tex]
Required
Select all true statements
(a) & (d) Median Comparisons
[tex]A = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1\}[/tex] [tex]B = \{1, 4, 2, 2, 3, 1, 1, 2, 1,9\}[/tex]

[tex]Median = \frac{n + 1}{2}th[/tex]
[tex]Median = \frac{9 + 1}{2}th[/tex] [tex]Median = \frac{10 + 1}{2}th[/tex]
[tex]Median = \frac{10}{2}th[/tex] [tex]Median = \frac{11}{2}th[/tex]
[tex]Median = 5th[/tex] [tex]Median = 5.5}th[/tex] --- average of 5th and 6th
[tex]Median = 2[/tex] [tex]Median = \frac{2+2}{2} = 2[/tex]
Option (d) is correct because both have a median of: 2

[tex]n = 9[/tex] [tex]n = 10[/tex]
First, calculate the lower quartile (Q1)
[tex]Q_1 = \frac{n + 1}{4}th[/tex][Odd n] [tex]Q_1 = \frac{n}{4}th[/tex] [Even n]
[tex]Q_1 = \frac{9 + 1}{4}th[/tex] [tex]Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th[/tex]
[tex]Q_1 = \frac{10}{4}th[/tex] [tex]Q_1 = 2.5[/tex]
[tex]Q_1 = 2.5th[/tex]
This means that:
[tex]Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)[/tex] [tex]Q_1 = 2nd + 0.5(3rd - 2nd)[/tex]
[tex]Q_1 = 1 + 0.5(1- 1)[/tex] [tex]Q_1 = 1+ 0.5(1 - 1)[/tex]

Next, calculate the upper quartile (Q3)
[tex]Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n + 1)th[/tex] [Odd n] [tex]Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(n)th[/tex] [Even n]
[tex]Q_3 = \frac{3}{4}(9 + 1)th[/tex] [tex]Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th[/tex]
[tex]Q_3 = \frac{30}{4}th[/tex] [tex]Q_3 = 7.5th[/tex]
[tex]Q_3 = 7.5th[/tex]
This means that:
[tex]Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)[/tex] [tex]Q_3 = 7th + 0.5(8th- 7th)[/tex]
[tex]Q_3 = 2 + 0.5(3- 2)[/tex] [tex]Q_3 = 2+ 0.5(4 - 2)[/tex]

Put these statements in correct order to understand how hearing works. - Ions enter hair cells - Stapes moves - auditory cortex recognizes the sounds - hair cells bend - Incus moves - auditory nerve transmits the signal to the auditory cortex - Fluid wave moves across Organ of corti based on frequency - Sound wave enters inner ear - Fluid in the cochlea moves - sound wave is generated from hitting a key on a piano
Answer: From the question,the correct order of how hearing works is listed below:
--> sound wave is generated from hitting a key on a piano,
--> Incus moves,
--> Stapes moves,
--> Sound wave enters inner ear,
--> Fluid in the cochlea moves,
--> Fluid wave moves across Organ of corti based on frequency,
--> Ions enter hair cells,
--> hair cells bend,
--> auditory nerve transmits the signal to the auditory cortex,
--> auditory cortex recognizes the sounds.
Explanation:
In mammal, two ears are present on each side of the head. It is know as the organ for hearing and balance. The ear is divided into three regions:
--> OUTER EAR: This consists of pinna, ear canal, and eardrum( tympanic membrane)
--> MIDDLE EAR: This consists of the ear ossicles ( malleus, incus and stapes).
--> INNER EAR: This consists of Cochlea (organ of hearing) and semicircular canals (for balance).
To explain further on how we hear sounds, the vibrations of sounds produced from an external source move from the outer ear to the middle and then to the inner ear where the cochlea, the organ for hearing is located.
As sound wave is generated from hitting a key on a piano, the pinna collects the sound waves and directs them into the ear canal. Sound waves impinge on the tympanic membrane and makes it vibrate. This causes the malleus, incus and stapes (in this order) to move to-and -fro at the middle ear region.
In the inner ear region, sound wave enters inner ear as stapes pushes the oval window in-and-out. The vibrating oval window causes the fluid in the cochlea( perilymph) to move to-and -fro. Fluid wave moves across Organ of corti based on frequency. The pressure waves in the perilymph push the membrane separating the upper canal and the cochlear duct to-and-fro allowing ions to enter the hair cells. As a result, the hairs of the sensory cells between these two membranes bend causing nerve impulses to be sent to the brain through the cochlear part of the auditory nerve. Auditory nerve transmits the signal to the auditory cortex which recognizes the sounds.
In the laboratory, a genetics student crossed flies with normal, long wings to flies with mutant, dumpy wings, which she believed was a recessive trait. In the F1, all flies had long wings. In the F2, the following results were obtained: 672 long-winged flies 218 dumpy-winged flies The student tested the hypothesis that the dumpy wing is inherited as a recessive trait by performing chi-square analysis of the F2 data.
Determine:
a. Chi-Square Value.
b. Degrees of freedom.
c. Reject or fail to reject the hypothesis.
Answer:
a. Chi-Square Value = 0.12
b. Degrees of freedom = 1
c. Reject or fail to reject the hypothesis = fail to reject the hypothesis
Explanation:
Available data:
Cross: long wings to flies with mutant, dumpy wingsF1) 100% long-winged fliesF2) 672 long-winged flies 218 dumpy-winged flies Hypothesis: the dumpy wing is inherited as a recessive traitLet us name the allele for Long L and the allele for dumpy l
The number of observed individuals:
Total number: 890 flies (672 + 218) Long-winged = 672 Dump-winged = 218In the F2 generation, if l was a recessive allele and L a dominant allele, exhibiting complete dominance, we would expect a 3:1 phenotypic ratio.
Cross: Ll x Ll
Gametes) L l L l
Punnett square) L l
L LL Ll
l lL ll
F2) 3/4 LL + Ll long-winged individuals
1/4 ll dump-winged individuals
From this ratio and the total number of individuals in the F2 generation, we can get the expected number of individuals:
4 possible genotypes ------- 890 individuals
3 LL + Ll genotype ------------X = 667.5 long-winged individuals
1 ll genotype ---------------------X = 222.5 dump-winged individuals
Chi square = ∑ (O-E)²/E
LL + Ll = (O-E)² /E
LL+ Ll = (672 - 667.5) ² / 667.5
LL + Ll = 0.03
ll= (O-E)²/E
ll= (218 - 222.5)² / 222.5
ll= 0.09
Chi square= ∑ ((O-E)²/E) = 0.03 + 0.09 = 0.12 Freedom Degrees = genotypes - alleles = 3 - 2 = 1 Significance level = 0.05 Table value/Critical value = 3.84
0.12 < 3.84 meaning that there is enough evidence to reject the null hypothesis.
Fail to reject the hypothesis. The genotypes in the population might be in equilibrium H-W. L is the dominant allele, and l is the recessive allele. The dumpy wing is inherited as a recessive trait.

Complete the following statement from what you have learned about the motor unit. In some neurodegenerative diseases the lower motor neuron cell bodies die and the remaining lower motor neurons sprout processes that innervate the neuromuscular synapses vacated by the dead lower motor neurons. In these muscles, the size of the motor unit ____________ and the strength of the muscle contraction generated by individually activating each surviving motor neuron _________.
Answer:
The correct answer is - increase, increase.
Explanation:
In some neurodegenerative diseases, some lower motor neuron cells die and the remaining lower motor neurons continuing the process of the vacated dead motor neuron cells to innervate the neuron and muscle synapses.
The size of the motor unit increases and due to the innervations of the new axon
increases the strength of the muscle contraction occurred by individually activating each surviving motor neuron. Here multiple motor units will be controlled by a single neuron.
How many amino acids are there in A peptide, B peptide and C peptide in human insulin???
Answer:
Insulin is composed of an A chain of 21 amino acids and a B chain of 30 amino acids. C-peptide is a peptide composed of 31 amino acids
Explanation:
Insulin is composed of an A chain of 21 amino acids and a B chain of 30 amino acids, the chains being held together by two disulfide bonds. A third disulfide bond is present within the A chain. Human insulin differs from porcine insulin by a single amino acid and from beef insulin by three amino acids.
Explanation:
Dashed circles around either an R or K indicate sites of peptidase cleavage that result in generation of the mature insulin that is comprised by two separate peptides: the A chain with 21 and the B chain with 30 amino acids. A third C peptide with 21 amino acids served as a linker between the A and B chains.

- The virus releases its RNA genome into the cell.
- The virus’s RNA is translated into proteins by the cell’s ribosomes.
- Viral RNA polymerase helps transcribe more copies of the virus’s RNA.
- New viruses travel to the cell membrane of the infected cell and are released outside the cell.
Explanation:
Coronaviruses are viruses from the family Coronaviridae (Order Nidovirales), which are structurally composed of positive-sense single-stranded RNA (ssRNA) genomes with a size of approximately 25 to 33 kilobases. Since the coronavirus genome consists of an ssRNA, they can be directly translated into protein inside infected host cells. The coronavirus that has caused the recent pandemic can enter into host cells through its spike (S) glycoprotein which binds to the Angiotensin-converting enzyme 2 (ACE2) receptor. Subsequently, this virus exploits the host molecular machinery to encode an RNA polymerase which is used to generate RNA from an RNA template. Finally, these RNAs are translated into all viral components (structural proteins) and new viruses are recruited to infected cells.

Explanation:
Consider a cross between a plant with two flower colors, yellow and red. Yellow (Y) exhibits complete dominance over red (y). It also has either single blossoms or double blossoms, single blossoms (S) exhibit complete dominance over double blossoms (s). A dihybrid yellow, single blossomed flower is crossed with a red flowered and double blossomed plant. You observe the following phenotype frequencies among the 1545 offspring plants:
500 yellow flowers and single blossom plants
515 red flowers and double blossom plants
260 yellow flowers and double blossom plants 270 red flower and single blossom plants.
What is the recombination frequency between these two genes?
a. (260+270) 1545
b. 270/1545
c. 1545/ (260+270)
d. 260/1545
e. (500+515)/1545
f. 1545/260
g. 1545/270
From these results one can conclude that:_______.
a. the two genes are linked
b. the two genes are not linked
c. if the genes are linked, they are separated far enough apart to appear to assort independently
Answer:
1) option a is correct. (260+270)/1545
(Note about this option: In the statement, it is written as (260+270) 1545. Lacks the division symbol, / )
2) From these results one can conclude that the two genes are linked (option a)
Explanation:
To know if two genes are linked, we must observe the progeny distribution. If heterozygous individuals, whose genes assort independently, are test crossed, they produce a progeny with equal phenotypic frequencies 1:1:1:1. If we observe a different distribution, phenotypes appearing in different proportions, we can assume linked genes in the double heterozygote parent.
We might verify which are the recombinant gametes produced by the di-hybrid, and we will be able to recognize them by looking at the phenotypes with lower frequencies in the progeny. Phenotypes with the highest frequencies represent the parental gametes.
To calculate the recombination frequency, we will use the following formula: P = Recombinant number / Total of individuals.
In the present example:
Parental) YySs x yyss
Gametes) YS parental type ys, ys, ys, ys
ys parental type
Ys recombinant type
yS recombinante type
The total number of individuals in the offspring: 1545
Phenotypic class Number of offspring
500 Y-S- (parental)515 yyss (parental)260 Y-ss (recombinant)270 yyS- (recombinant)According to this information, the phenotypic frequencies of the progeny differ from the phenotypic ratio 1:1:1:1. We can assume then, that these genes are linked.
The recombination frequency is:
P = Recombinant number / Total of individuals
P = 260 + 270 / 1545
P = 530/1545
P = 0.343
The genetic distance between genes is 0.343 x 100= 34.4 MU.

Which of the following is an example of a learned response? OA A child figures out how to ride a bicycle. O B. An adult salmon is able to return to the river where it hatched. OC. A plant turns to follow the sun during the day. OD. A man blinks when an object is tossed toward his face.
Answer:
Explanation:
I would say A. Learning to ride a bicycle is a process of getting on and falling off. You have no idea how to do it properly without practice. That's learned.
But look out for D. I'm not sure that that isn't instinctive. Somewhere along the line I think even a baby knows not to let his/her eyes be touched. Is it learned? It's close but A is a much better answer.
The salmon is instinctive. The plant doesn't learn to turn towards the sun. It does so because more food is produced.
Yes, it's A.
A is the only option that is not instinctual. Riding a bicycle is something that has to be taught (and even if you weren't taught to ride a bike, you had to figure it out by trial and error.)
The other options are instinctual and reflexive responses. The salmon returning to the river is a behavior that is pretty much hard-wired into the salmon's brain. The plant turns to follow the sun because it is a source of light and energy.
The other user expressed uncertainty as to option D, but in fact, option D is very much a reflexive, instinctual response as well. To flinch or blink when something abruptly moves towards you is not a choice or something you have to be taught — it's a reflex, something you can't control.

Consider a plant with the following characteristics. Round leaves (R) are dominant to pointed leaves (r). White flowers (W) are dominant to pink flowers (w). Plants heterozygous for both traits are crossed. What is the probability of obtaining a plant with pointed leaves and pink flowers
Answer:
.0625 or 6.25%
Explanation:
Find the probability for the plant to have pointed leaves. If the two parent plants are heterzygous, then the likelihood the plant has a recessive characteristic is 25%, 1/4, or .25 for our calculations.Find the probability for the plant to be pink. If the two parent plants are heterzygous, the likelihood the plant has another recessive characterisitc is again 25%, 1/4, or .25 for our calculations.Multiply them together. (1/4)*(1/4)=(1/16) or .0625, or 6.25%why do we commonly see isotherms on local weather broadcasts?
Explanation:
Isotherms are lines of constant or equal temperature. They are often used on weather maps by meteorologists to give a large scale view of temperatures across the U.S. If you have ever looked at a weather map in a newspaper, the isotherms are used to divide the color-filled temperatures.
