1. How does the story of the Brodies' work demonstrate the power of evolutionary
thinking to direct inquiry into the nature of the living world?

When analyzing tree rings, what do scientists assume a thin ring indicates?

Many plants can reproduce asexually. which of these is an example of asexual reproduction in a plant? a. pine cones forming on a tree b. cross-pollination in a tomato c. roots sprouting from a potato d. night-blooming jasmine flowers

Keeping in mind the life cycle of bacteriophages, consider the following problem: during the reproductive cycle of a temperate bacteriophage, the viral dna inserts into the bacterial chromosome where the resultant prophage behaves much like a trojan horse. it can remain quiescent, or it can become lytic and initiate a burst of progeny viruses. several operons maintain the prophage state by interacting with a repressor that keeps the lytic cycle in check. insults (ultraviolet light, for example) to the bacterial cell lead to a partial breakdown of the repressor, which in turn causes the production of enzymes involved in the lytic cycle. as stated in this simple form, would you consider this system of regulation to be operating under positive or negative control?
