Can viruses live through mutation and natural selection
Answer:
sure why not
Explanation:
as the virus mutates, it may increase, or lessen the chance for the virus to survive a battle against its host. like your regular living organisms (though keep in mind viruses are not considered living), some survive and some die due to natural selection and mutation.
What is a pill bugs habitat
Answer:
The pillbug's main habitat is under mulch, fallen leaves, and rocks. Pillbugs are nocturnal and require humid conditions during the day. Pillbugs are generally found in soil with sowbugs, millipedes, and earthworms. Their preferred soil habitat is composed of organic matter and has a neutral to alkaline pH.
What is an antiviral drug? Why is it different from an antibiotic?
Answer: Unlike most antibiotics, antiviral drugs do not destroy their target pathogen; instead they inhibit its development.
Composite volcanoes erupt very ____ spewing out pyroclastic material.
The University of Illinois has been conducting one of the longest selection experiments, begun in 1896 by C.G. Hopkins. Researchers have been selecting for high corn oil content (as measured in % dry mass). Researchers select those plants with the highest corn oil content, and use only those individuals to seed the next generation. Here is a portion of actual data from their experiment:
1899 mean oil content in entire population: 5.65% dry mass
mean oil content of selected plants: 6.30% dry mass
1900 mean of oil content in entire population: 6.10% dry mass
Calculate the heritability of corn oil content (% dry mass). For full credit, show your work, including any equations used.
Answer:
0.725
Explanation:
This type of question is a concept of Narrow-sense Heritability and Artificial selection used by plant breeds.
So, heritability = R/S
where;
R = response to selection
S = selection differential
S further implies the difference in mean oil content between base population & selected population.
S = 5.65 - 6.30 = 0.65% ( where the negative sign are not regarded)
R implies the difference in mean oil content between the offspring or population after implementation of selection and the base population.
R = 6.10 - 5.65 = 0.45%
∴
Heritability = R/S = 0.45% / 0.6%
= 0.725
Thus; the heritability in the oil content of corn in the given set of population = 0.725.
Caenorhabditis elegans is a species of soil-dwelling nematode (roundworm) that feeds on soil bacteria, including Bacillus thuringiensis.
a. True
b. False
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
Caenorhabditis elegans is a well-known species which is widely used in genetic experiments (i.e., it is a model organism). C. elegans is a soil nematode that eats bacteria, but its survival depends on the ability to distinguish toxic from non-toxic ones. C. elegans cannot feed Bacillus thuringiensis because this bacterium produces a toxin Bt protein that damages its gut, thereby producing the death of this nematode. Interestingly, it has been proposed that Bt toxin pathways might be exploited for the design of new generation nematicides.
What is biomass burned to produce
Answer:
Burning either fossil fuels or biomass releases carbon dioxide (CO2), a greenhouse gas. However, the plants that are the source of biomass for energy capture almost the same amount of CO2 through photosynthesis while growing as is released when biomass is burned, which can make biomass a carbon-neutral energy source.

Explanation:
We have 13 different clotting factor proteins in our blood. Do you think hemophilia is controlled by one or multiple genes?
Hemophilia A and hemophilia B are inherited in an X-linked recessive pattern . The genes associated with these conditions are located on the X chromosome, which is one of the two sex chromosomes . In males (who have only one X chromosome), one altered copy of the gene in each cell is sufficient to cause the condition. Basically it's whatever you believe it is.

how does the ribosome read the mRNA?
Answer:
A ribosome is made up of two basic pieces: a large and a small subunit. During translation, the two subunits come together around a mRNA molecule, forming a complete ribosome. The ribosome moves forward on the mRNA, codon by codon, as it is read and translated into a polypeptide (protein chain).

:)))))))))help me plsss
Explanation:
1. The materials are physically combined because all of the materials including the sand, salt, and iron fillings are their own substances and they maintain their original form. This is a mixture and they aren't chemically combined.
2. To separate each of the materials physical means would be used because since they're their own individual substances and have kept their original form they're mixed and not chemically combined.
3. The iron and oxygen atoms in rust are chemically combined because they are no longer individual substances and haven't kept their original form, so therefore they're a chemical combination.

Leaves of a healthy potted plant were coated with Vaseline to block stomata. Will this plant remain healthy for long? State three reasons for your answer.
➜ If waxy coating is made on the surface of leaf, loss of water in the form of water vapour does not take place. Even the gaseous exchange will not take place. So, photosynthesis will either be reduced or will not take place.
The plant will not remain healthy for long because:
[i] Exchange of gases will not take place.
[ii] Photosynthesis will either be reduced or will not take place due to lack of CO2.
[iii] Transpiration will not take place, so there will be no mechanism of cooling in hot weather.
Which factors affect the gravitational force between two objects?
Answer: The size of each object and the space between them.
When dealing with the force of gravity between two objects, there are only two things that are important – mass, and distance. The force of gravity depends directly upon the masses of the two objects, and inversely on the square of the distance between them.

It is estimated that the world human population reached 3 billion people in 1959 and 6 billion in 1999. Assuming a carrying capacity of 16 billion humans, write and solve the differential equation for Gompertz growth, and determine what year the population reached 7 billion. Was logistic growth or Gompertz growth more accurate, considering world population reached 7 billion on October 31,2011
Answer:
i ) Gompertz equation :
[tex]\frac{dP(t)}{dt} = \alpha In ( \frac{K}{P(t)} )P(t)[/tex]
ii) The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013
iii) The logistic growth was more accurate
Explanation:
i) write and solve the differential equation for Gompertz growth
Gompertz equation :
[tex]\frac{dP(t)}{dt} = \alpha In ( \frac{K}{P(t)} )P(t)[/tex]
∝ = growth rate
k ( carrying capacity ) = 16 * 10^9
P(t) = population at time t
ii) Determine what year the population reached 7 billion
The year that population reaches 7 billion is 2013
solution attached below
iii) Determine if logistic growth or Gompertz growth was more accurate considering world population reached 7 billion on October 31,2011
The logistic growth was more accurate because the when Logistic growth model was used, the year in which the population reached 7 billion was 2010 and this value is more closer to 7 billion on October 31 2011 ( given value )
