Suppose a new altruistic allele arose in a population that would make an individual in its first year of life help it's mother rear an additional three full siblings. These additional siblings would not survive without the helper's efforts. Assume that the cost in fitness cost to the helper is 2 offspring because it does not mate in the first year of life. Based on Hamilton's Rule, what is the expected fate of this new altruistic allele in the population

What is a universal way that predation benefits the predator? predation increases mate availability. predation in defense of space. the predator gets the energy it needs to survive. the predator keeps parasites from hurting the species.

One of the purposes of transcription is to produce a sequence of bases that

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?
