Why don't the spontaneous deleterious mutations that occur in an individual
e.coli cause downward drops in fitness in this population? see section 23.6 ( page 475) ?

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

Please see below  

Explanation:

The reason behind this is the phenomenon of natural selection. The deleterious mutations do not provide a survival advantage so they are selected against, which results in these type of mutations to not be passed on - rather, they eventually get eliminated from the population.

observation
curiosity
epicureanism
o determination

Answers

Answer:

Observation

Curiosity

Determination

Explanation:

A biologist is a scientist that specializes in the study of biology or life generally. However, to become a successful biologist as stated in the question, the three mentioned characteristics needed are:

1. Observation- being an observer is key to becoming any scientist, including a biologist. Observation is the foundation of a scientific method i.e. it begins the process. Hence, a biologist must have good observation skills in order to thrive.

2. Curiosity- Curiosity refers to the ability to want to know what's going on. It's being inquisitive in order to learn new things. Asking questions is equally an important part of a scientific method as it determines the experiment. The question asked is what creates the experiment. Hence, being curious is a good quality for an intending biologist.

3. Determination: Being determined is not a quality only a biologist should possess. Determination is a must for any individual in any field. It is the ability to carry on irrespective of setbacks, which are inevitable.

How has modern humans
ecological footprint caused a Tragedy of the Commons?

Answers

Answer and Explanation:

The ecological footprint is an indicator of sustainability at an international level that integrates all the human impacts over the environment, considering the necessary resources and the generated residues to maintain the modern consumption model.  It refers to the productive ecological surface needed to produce resources to consume by one person and to absorb the residues that are produced.

By constant contamination and indiscriminately use of natural resources the impact generated by human in the earth is unmeasurable.

The tragedy of the commons refers to how some people, acting by their own needs or interests, may exceed the use of natural resources, affecting their population and, therefore, other users. These individuals over explode resources thinking only in the present, but not in the future.

The ecological footprint as an indicator makes visible the unsustainable lifestyle of human beings, especially those of the first world. If this lifestyle would project to the rest of the world equally, natural resources would completely disappear. More developed countries are over contaminating and over exploding natural resources, affecting other countries of the third world, and even themselves.

Marine biologist, Igor Vladimir, is conducting research on the 25-40 cm in diameter, Aurelia aurita, commonly known as the moon jellyfish. He is trying to determine how much water is needed to propel the translucent jelly, that is capable of only limited motion, and drifts with the current, even when swimming. Which of the images, A or B, most likely represents a measurement this scientist made? Justify your answer.

Answers

Answer:

Image A

Explanation:

The most likely image that represents the measurement of the scientist would be image A.

Image A indicates the shape that water would form in a tube. Due to the adhesive force between the molecules of water and the wall of the tube, the surface of water usually forms a concave shape in a tube. Hence, the lower meniscus of the water is usually read in a tube which is what image A represents.

Sam saw something terrifying. His muscles tensed, he began breathing more rapidly, and he began to sweat. Having taken introductory psychology, Sam knew that the ________________ division of his __________ nervous system had been activated. 0 points sympathetic; limbic parasympathetic, autonomic somatic, peripheral central, sympathetic

Answers

Answer:

sympathetic and autonomic

Explanation:

Hello there! :D

Firstly, I want to say that some of the written out answers look incomplete. I am going to try my best to answer this question and give you context so that you can choose the best answer choice! :)

There are two main systems within the boundaries our nervous system:

The CNS (central nervous system) and the PNS (peripheral nervous system).

Struturally,

the CNS constistues the brain and spinal chord,

the PNS consistutes your nerves and ganglion.

Functionally, the CNS recieves messages from the PNS and sends messages to the PNS. Think of the CNS as the control center, and the PNS as the reactor.

The PNS has two systems within it, the somatic nervous system, and the autonomic nervous system. The somatic nervous system senses things consciously percieved (ie. eye sight, pain, taste) and the autonomic nervous system senses things unconsciously percieved and controled (ie. stress, anxiety, etc). The point being, you cannot control when it happens or stop the function of it consciously.

The autonomic nervous system holds two main systems, which would be the parasympathetic system and the sympathetic system. The parasympathetic system helps maintain your circadian rythmn, replenish energy, and relax your body. The sympathetic system is known as your "fight or flight" system. This system can be triggered by test anxiety, unsafe situations, and in any case where your life or emotional well being is being threatened.

My best answer for this question, in my opinion, would be the autonomic nervous system, and the sympathetic system. The sympathetic system deals with fear (fight or flight) and is controlled by the autonomic nervous system).

I hope this helps you and you have a wonderful day,

Computer modeling gives scientists the ability to study the interaction of complicated systems
without actually conducting an experiment. Is this

True or false.?

Answers

Answer:

it is true

Explanation:

Computer modelling can be defined as the computerization of mathematical models in order to understand the dynamics of biological, physical, and chemical systems. The computerized simulations can be run by using programs that have into account the parameters of the system and thus make predictions that resemble natural experimentation procedures. Examples of computer modelling include, among others, the potential distribution of invasive species, prediction of changes in the genetic structure of a given population over n generations, etc.

What is the difference between science and trickery?

Answers

Science is- by definition understanding the natural and social world following a systematic methodology based on evidence. Proof is needed, experiments take place etc. Whereas trickery is simply the act of deception, can be for multiple reasons.

However trickery exists in the natural world too in the form of animals using tricks to make themselves look frightening or like another animal. In both cases you cannot believe what you see. The difference would probably be that the tricks science plays can be uncovered by experiments and other observations, but im not sure.

Your question has been heard loud and clear.

Science is basically the logic that explains why things happen and how they occur the way they are , especially with natural phenomena. It is solely used for beneficial purposes so that humans can advance and develop themselves through science.

Trickery is the art mastered by people who just live by using shortcuts and making loopholes out of everything to bypass consequences. It is indeed the complete opposite of science because trickery is not used for improvement like science , but it is used to bring others down while the trickster rises. It is not beneficial for development and advancements. Trickery is however useful to the person using it , and science is useful to the person using it and to the people , but trickery is only beneficial for the person using it , unlike science.

The nitrogenous bases in DNA are:

- Adenine

- Thymine

- Cytosine

The nitrogenous bases in RNA are:

- Adenine

- Thymine

- Guanine

- Uracil

When we compare the two lists, we see that both DNA and RNA have Adenine, Thymine, and Guanine. However, we can also notice that only RNA has Uracil. Plus, only DNA contains Cytosine.

Therefore, the nitrogenous base found in RNA, but not DNA is uracil.
