A population of mosquitoes is exposed to the pesticide DDT for several generations. At the end of that time, most individuals in the population are resistant to DDT. The most likely reason is that:
A. random mutations in each generation made mosquitoes resistant to DDT.
B. some individuals in the original population had the mutations that led to resistance.
C. DDT caused the mutations that led to resistance.
D. somatic mutations in the original population were passed on to subsequent generations.
E. by chance, new mutations that led to DDT resistance arose after DDT was used.

Answer 2

A population of mosquitoes is exposed to the pesticide DDT for several generations. At the end of that time, most individuals in the population are resistant to DDT and the most likely reason is that  some individuals in the original population had the mutations that led to resistance. Option B is correct.

What is mutation ?

Mutation is the change in which there is slight change in the genome sequence of a DNA or RNA along with the gene. The mutation lead to various types to adaptations along with the diseases.        

Resistance is the condition when the species on the multiple exposures develop certain kind of adaptations to it and these traits are sometime inherited sometimes not inherited.

Mutations are friendly as well where sometimes a disease causing mutation can be altered with the further mutation in it.

Therefore on the multiple exposure it led to condition of resistance in  the species.

If DNA code consists of only four nitrogenous bases, how can it produce so much variety among
organisms of the same species?

Answers

Explanation:

I tnought this will help you

If DNA code consists of only four nitrogenous bases, still it produces so much variety among organisms of the same species with the help of Codons and amino acids sequences.

What do you mean by Nitrogenous bases?

Nitrogenous bases may be defined as a molecule that contains nitrogen and possesses the chemical properties of a base. The nitrogenous bases that are found in DNA are Adenine (A), Guanine (G), Thymine (T). and Cytosine (C). Uracil (U) is present instead of Thymine in RNA.

There is a total of 4 nitrogenous bases that are found in DNA and RNA. Each codon codes with the help of three nitrogenous bases. So, total variations = [tex]4^3[/tex] = 64.

But there are only 20 amino acids that are commonly known. Some codons are stop codons, they do not code for any amino acids. While some codons code for the same amino acids.

Therefore, If DNA code consists of only four nitrogenous bases, still it produces so much variety among organisms of the same species with the help of Codons and amino acids sequences.

Is race a biological characteristic determined by our genes?

Answers

Answer:

No, they are not. The concept of human races appears to be solidly grounded in present-day biology and our evolutionary history. But if you asked that conference of geneticists to give you a genetic definition of race, they wouldn’t be able to do it. Human races are not natural genetic groups; they are socially constructed categories. Genes certainly reflect geography, but unlike geography, human genetic differences don't fall along obvious natural boundaries that might define races.

Answers

Answer: A BIOME is an area of the planet that shaves similar conditions of climate, fauna (animal life), flora (plant life) and geography . The correct option is 1.

Explanation:

BIOME is defined as large natural terrestrial ecosystems which shares similar conditions of climate and consists of plants and animals that equally have common characteristics with their environment. The word terrestrial is used because plants form the bulk of the community in an ecosystem. The type of vegetation in a biome is largely determined by climatic factors, especially rainfall and temperature. Regions throughout the world which have similar climates have similar biomes. This causes zones of different biomes to occur from the equator to the Arctic and to the Antarctic. For example,

--> in equatorial and tropical areas where temperature is high all the year round tropical forests occur;

--> in temperate regions coniferous and deciduous forests occur;

--> while treeless plains (tundra) are found in the cold arctic regions.

Climates also changes with height above the sea level.

If there weren't alleles for different traits, but rather only one version of a gene for different traits, how would humans be different?

Answers

Answer:

Humans would look exactly alike

Explanation:

An allele which is a variation of a gene which expresses a particular trait(Phenotype).

For example, if humans have a gene for eye color but has different alleles for the color being black or brown for example, their phenotypes are different since the alleles are different.

But, if the alleles for the eye color are all the same, the eye color and every other phenotype would be the same. So, there would be no variations in eye color, height, color of skin etc. So, all humans would thus look alike having one set of genes for the different traits.

Which statements about geocentric model and heliocentric model are true? Select the two correct answers.

A. They both are models of the solar system.
B. They both show the position of Earth relative to the Sun.
C. They both show Earth at the center of the solar system.
D. They both show the Sun at the center of the solar system.

Answers

Answer: Your correct answer would be both A & B.

Explanation: A is the correct answer because both of these models are in fact models of our solar system. The geocentric model had Earth at the center of the solar system with all the other planets and sun rotating around us. The heliocentric model is the accepted model of our solar system today with the sun at the center and planets rotating in slightly elliptical fashions around it due to gravitational pull. B is also correct because as I just explained, both models position Earth in relativity to the sun though both models vary greatly. The aim of both of these models was to specify where Earth was exactly in the solar system. I hope this has been of use to you! Please do not hesitate to ask if you have other questions :)

The two correct statements about the geocentric and the heliocentric model are:

They both show the position of Earth relative to the Sun. They both are models of the solar system.

The geocentric model

The geocentric model has the assumption that the earth is at the center of the universe. The sun and the planets are said to revolve around the earth in this model

The heliocentric model:

The heliocentric model has the assumption that the sun is at the center of the universe. The earth and the planets revolve around it.

The organism in the photo is a daphnia, or water flea. Daphnia are tiny aquatic organisms that live in most freshwater habitats. Adults range from less than 1 to 5 mm in length. They are good swimmers and eat mostly algae. Daphnia become mature at 5 to 10 days, and an adult female can produce up to 100 eggs every 3 or 4 days during its 2-month life span. When harmful algae rapidly increase in the daphnia environment, daphnia can develop adaptations to tolerate the negative effects of the algae within 10 years. What characteristic of the daphnia allows the population to adapt to environmental change

Answers

Answer:

The characteristic of daphnia which allows the population to adapt to the environmental change is the short generation time.

Explanation:

As evident from the text, the maturity comes in 5 to 10 days and they reproduce for the next 2 months at a rate of 100 eggs every 3/4 days. This is a short generation time which makes the evolutionary changes easy and less time-consuming to incorporate.

The correct answer is -muscular system and skeletal system.

Explanation:

The skeletal system and the muscular system work together to move the body or body parts. Different types of tissues form the muscular system that and their action on bones controls the movement of the body in vertebrates.

Tendons are tough muscles that attach with the bones and joints allow the movement by contraction of muscle that helps in moving bones from joint. Muscle normally acts by contracting and relaxing in pairs.
