A student is comparing the leg lengths of the rabbits in a population. She wonders if natural setection is occurring. She asks you to
evaluate her conclusions. Select ALL that are NOT supported by her data.
A)
The rabbits with medium length legs are the most stable and thus will out
survive the others.
B)
Medium length legs appears to be neither an advantage or disadvantage in
the current environment.
The rabbits with longer legs have a selective advantage that allows them
to survive and reproduce.
It is unlikely that evolution is occurring because none of the traits have
disappeared from the population
A predator is the likely source of natural selection in this population as the
rabbits with longer legs are more likely to escape compared with those
with the shorter legs
D)
E)

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:A and D

Explanation:

It’s the USA test prep question

Answer 2

The following data indicate that the statement "the medium rabbit leg is stable and evolution is unlikely to happen" is false. Hence, options A and D are the correct options for the statements.

What is the role of natural selection?

Natural selection selects organisms that are best suited to their environment, and these individuals multiply to increase their population size. In this case, generation after generation, the population of short-legged rabbits decreased from 23 to 13. This indicates that the small-legged rabbits were eaten by the predators, resulting in a reduction in their number. The number of middle-legged rabbits did not vary much, so they did not gain a selective advantage, but long-legged rabbits easily escaped from predators, and as a result, they rapidly increased in number, and as a result, the small-legged population declined with the increase in long-legged rabbits.

 

Hence, the medium leg is stable and evolution is unlikely" is false. Hence, options A and D are the correct options for the statements.

What do you think happens to the particles of air inside the ball as it warms in the sun?

Answers

It will air up the ball and make it full of air

There is matter inside the balloon. The mixture of gas present in the balloon is a form of matter which has some kinetic energy which will increase with the increase in temperature.

What is Kinetic energy?

Kinetic energy is the energy present inside a body which is in motion. Here, the molecules of gas present inside the balloon possess kinetic energy. The kinetic energy of all the gases is almost similar at a specific temperature regardless of their constituents.

The kinetic energy of gas present inside the balloon increases with the increase in the temperature. When the balloon is kept in the sun, due to the heat of Sun, kinetic energy of gas particles inside the balloon also increases and the balloon expands. This will lead to an increase in the pressure on the walls of the balloon.

What is the end result of meiosis? four identical daughter cells four different daughter cells two identical daughter cells two different daughter cells

Answers

Answer:

B. Four Different Daughter Cells

Explanation:

The end result of meiosis results in the production of four genetically different daughter cells.

The result of meiosis is four different daughter cells.  

A kind of cell division, which minimizes the number of chromosomes in the parent cell by half and generates four gamete cells is known as meiosis.  

• This process is needed to generate sperm and egg cells for sexual reproduction.  

• Meiosis starts with a parent cell, which is diploid, that is, it has two copies of each chromosome.  

• The parent cell goes through one round of replication of DNA succeeded by two distinct cycles of nuclear division.  

• In the end, four haploid daughter cells are produced, that is, they contain half the number of chromosomes present in the parent cell.  

Thus, four different daughter cells are produced at the end of meiosis.

Gene therapy has been used to treat and cure cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a _________ in a single gene?

Answers

Answer:

mutation

Explanation:

trust me, i took the test

Gene therapy has been used to treat and cure cystic fibrosis. Cystic fibrosis is caused by a mutation in a single gene.

What are mutations?

A mutation is a change in the DNA sequence of an organism. Mutations can result from errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens or a viral infection.

Moreover, hereditary mutations include cystic fibrosis, hemophilia, and sickle cell disease. Other mutations can happen on their own during a person's life. These are called sporadic, spontaneous, or new mutations. They affect only some cells.

Therefore, mutations can result from errors in DNA replication during cell division, exposure to mutagens or a viral infection. Germline mutations (that occur in eggs and sperm) can be passed on to offspring, while somatic mutations (that occur in body cells) are not passed on.
