As part of your Fish & Wildlife job, you measure some populations and find the following: the competitive effect of trout on pike minnows equals 1.25, the competitive effect of pike minnows on trout equals 0, the per capita growth rate of pike minnows equals 0.25, and the per capita growth rate of trout equals 0.5. The carrying capacity of a species equals the number of available nesting sites. Currently, the environment contains 500 nesting sites. You devise a way to introduce artificial nesting, which only pike minnows can use. If you introduce these artificial nesting sites (leaving the trout nesting sites at 500), how many will you need for the pike minnow’s population to grow?

sadness is not good

explanation:

from the original order (top to bottom) the new order will go

1 (founder)

4 (hawk)

2 (mutate)

3 (next generation)

a chair, a bed, and a toothbrush

explanation:

i was told this before by a teacher, so yeah

step 1: initiation

initiation is the beginning of transcription. it occurs when the enzyme rna polymerase binds to a region of a gene called the promoter. this signals the dna to unwind so the enzyme can ‘‘read’’ the bases in one of the dna strands. the enzyme is now ready to make a strand of mrna with a complementary sequence of bases.

step 2: elongation

elongation is the addition of nucleotides to the mrna strand. rna polymerase reads the unwound dna strand and builds the mrna molecule, using complementary base pairs. there is a brief time during this process when the newly formed rna is bound to the unwound dna. during this process, an adenine (a) in the dna binds to an uracil (u) in the rna.

step 3: termination

termination is the ending of transcription, and occurs when rna polymerase crosses a stop (termination) sequence in the gene. the mrna strand is complete, and it detaches from dna.
