Darwin hypothesized that there are definite steps to natural selection. One is populations are large and in the population variation
exists. Consider this population of disease-causing bacteria What is the MOST LIKELY cause for variation in this population?
A)
over-population
drug resistance
genetic mutation
g
sexual reproduction
thas white fut in winter and dark for in summer. What is the main survival advantage of this fur color change

Embryonic stem cells are cells derived from an embryo. these cells can be used to create new tissues for patients suffering from certain illnesses and disorders. which statement best summarizes why the use of embryonic stem cells could be seen as unethical?

Which conditions are necessary for natural selection to occur? select all of the answers that apply. a. inheritable adaptations vary among individuals. b. the population size is increasing. c. more individuals are born than can survive. d. fitness varies among individuals. e. the environment changes suddenly and drastically.

Considering the yellow and green pea color phenotypes studied by gregor mendel: a. what is the biochemical function of the protein that is specified by the gene responsible for the pea color phenotype? (1 point) b. a null allele of a gene is an allele that does not specify (or encode) any of the biochemical function that the gene normally provides (in other words, either no protein at all or only non-functional protein is produced from it). of the two alleles, y and y, which is more likely to be a null allele? (1 point) c. in terms of the underlying biochemistry, why is the y allele dominant to the y allele? (2 points) d. why are peas that are yy homozygotes green? (1 point) e. the amount of protein produced from a gene is roughly proportional to the number of functional copies of the gene carried by a cell or individual. what do the phenotypes of yy homozygotes, yy heterozygotes, and yy homozygotes tell us about the amount of sgr enzyme needed to produce a yellow color? explain your reasoning.
