Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

The correct answer is - the biofilm.

Explanation:

Biofilms are a type of one or more than one type of microbes that grow on many different surfaces, These microbes include fungi, bacteria, and protist that develop attached to the surface and one another and embedded in a self-produced matrix.

It is a thick film of protein such as fibrin, polysaccharides such as alginate or eDNA secreted by the bacteria, and other microbes that cover the teeth surface.

Scientists have discovered that there are reproductive isolating mechanisms that can stop a population from interbreeding and possibly lead to the formation of a new species. What is this process called

Answers

Answer:

Polyploidy

Explanation:

The isolating mechanism that is capable of stopping a population from interbreeding, possibly leading to speciation is polyploidy.

Polyploidy is a condition in which a species of an organism will have multiple, instead of a diploid, chromosomal set as a result of an error during meiosis.

Non-disjunction during meiosis can make a gamete have a diploid number of chromosomes in the place of a haploid chromosome. A 2n gamete fusing with an n gamete will result in a triploid organism, 2n plus 2n gametes will result in a tetraploid organism, etc.

If the extra chromosomal set is from the same species, such polyploidy is termed autopolyploidy, otherwise, it is termed allopolyploidy. Having extra sets of chromosomes has the capacity to make an organism to be reproductively incompatible with normal diploid organisms of the same species. However, polyploid organisms can either self-pollinate or cross with another polyploid organism, a process that can lead to sympatric speciation.

23. A PCR reaction is performed, and the negative control demonstrates the presence of a detectable number of PCR product (amplicons) by capillary electrophoresis. What is the most likely cause?

Answers

Answer:

Contamination of the control sample (negative control) with DNA

Explanation:

The Polymerase Chain Reaction (PCR) is a technique widely used in molecular biology laboratories to amplify a target DNA fragment using primer pairs and DNA polymerase. In PCR experiments, it is imperative to include both positive and negative controls. The positive control refers to the amplification of a PCR product (amplicon) of known molecular size during PCR reaction in order to ensure the correct molecular weight of the target DNA fragment. The negative control refers to the inclusion of a sample without DNA in order to ensure that no contamination with DNA has occurred in the other samples.

Cross a person who does not have freckles and is heterozygous for dimples with a person who has
freckles (but her mom does not) but no dimples.
1. What is the probability that these parents will have a child with dimples?
2. What is the probability that these parents will have a child with freckles?
3. What is the probability that these parents will have a child with dimples and freckles?

Answers

Answer:

1. 1/2

2. 1/2

3. 1/4

Explanation:

Let the allele for freckles be A or a while that of dimples be B or b.

A person without freckles but heterozygous for dimples = aaBb

A person who has freckles (whose mother has no freckles) but no dimples = Aabb

      aaBb    x    Aabb

Offspring

4 AaBb - freckled and dimpled

4 Aabb - freckled and non dimpled

4 aaBb - non freckled and dimpled

4 aabb - non freckled and non dimpled

1. Probability that the parents will have a dimpled child = 8/16 or 1/2

2. Probability that they will have a child with freckles = 8/16 or 1/2

3. Probability that they will have a child with freckles and dimples = 4/16 or 1/4

Write a short paragraph that explains the relationship between the terms "chromosome," "gene," "DNA," and "allele."

Answers

Answer:   Genes appear throughout the length of each chromosome, and each chromosome pair has a unique set of genes. ... In a diploid organism, the two corresponding genes in a chromosome pair, or alleles, might be identical or might have different base sequences. Each parent contributes one allele in each pair.Alleles are different forms of same gene. Genes are linearly arranged on chromosomes. Chromosomes contain genetic material of cell i.e. DNA. So chemically alleles, genes, chromosomes are all DNA !

2. survival of the fittest
The law of independent assortment
3. Mendel's law of segregation
4. genetic drift

Answers

Answer:

(1.) Natural selection causes evolution to occur.

Explanation:

Over time, the naturally occurring variation within a population that arise from mutations, alter in frequency. Some of these variants or traits, may confer advantages to certain organisms, allowing them to reproduce and pass on genes more successfully. These traits become fixed within the population, and eventually the individuals evolve to form a species.

Natural selection, acts on evolution, for or against traits.  It ensures that individuals with traits well-suited to their environments and reproductive fitness survive.      

Answer:

1. evolution

Explanation:

Natural selection causes populations to become adapted, or increasingly well-suited, to their environments over time. Natural selection depends on the environment and requires existing heritable variation in a group.
