Imagine you are studying a population of finches on one of the Galápagos Islands. You have been recording many of the birds' physical traits, including the length of both wings. You observe that for 80% of individuals measured, the length of the left wing is not significantly different from the length of the right wing (in other words, they are symmetrical). But for about 20% of birds measured, the wing lengths are asymmetrical. This distribution is true from generation to generation. Suddenly, a rare 5-day windstorm takes over the island. After the storm, you spend the next several days netting each bird on the island that survived the storm. You discover that 85% of the birds with symmetrical wings survived the storm, whereas only 5% of the birds with asymmetrical wings did.
a. Propose a hypothesis to explain this observation.
b. If such storms become increasingly common due to changes in climate, how might you expect the population to change over time with respect to wing symmetry? The distribution of symmetrical to asymmetrical will change so that close to 100% of birds will have symmetrical wingspans.

Answers

Answer 1

Answer:

a) The change in the character of an organism relies upon the ability of the adaption on the base of the external change or the environment change, "An organism that is not able to adapt accordingly would not survive and eliminated from the population."

b) In the given case, Symmetric wings are far more suitable for the survivorship as it provides better flight than the organism with asymmetric wings, it is also given that there is 20% of the population have asymmetric wings.

After the storm which is selection pressure, there is the elimination of the entire bird population with asymmetrical wings from the ecosystem so the final frequency would be 100% of the entire population with symmetrical wings.

Answer 2

Natural selection benefits the phenotype that increases the fitness. a) Symetrical wings increase the fitness of finches because they are better to face selective pressures. b) natural selection will favor symmetrical wings.

-------------------------------------

a) Hypothesis:

Symmetrical wings increase the fitness of finches because these type of wings are better to face selective pressures like severe windstorms.

b) If such storms become increasingly common with time, natural selection will favor symmetrical wings by increasing its frequency in the population, while animals with asymetrical wings will decrease to near cero.

Natural selection is an evolutive force that selects beneficial alleles and increases their frequency in the population.

It is the result of the phenotype-environment interaction which determines gene destiny in space and time.

Natural selection results in adaptation, which means the increase of the aptitude phenotype.

Aptitude is the contribution of each genotype to the next generation.  

Aptitude (or fitness) is reflected by the phenotype that results in the survival, fertility, and capability of having a mate.  

Adaptations can be correlated to environmental factors or selective pressures applied by other organisms or habitats.

The selective agent is the environmental trait that determines the differential survival of the phenotypic classes.

The environment influences the probability that each genotype passes its gametes to the next generation.

So in this example,

⇒ The strong storms are acting as selective pressures.

⇒ This selective pressure is modeling the phenotype of finches.

Natural selection favors the phenotype that performs better when facing storms.

⇒ Symmetrical wings are the phenotype that better suits and increases the animal's fitness.

⇒ Hence, natural selection favors this phenotype over asymmetrical wings.

Answers

Answer:

The correct words that film in the blanks are;

Polarity

Cohesion

Hydrogen bonds

Heat

Ice

Solvent

Solutes

Explanation:

Water is a highly polar molecule. Its polarity allows it to form strong intermolecular hydrogen bonds which accounts for the forces of cohesion in the water.

The hydrogen bonds form and break with evolution of heat hence accounting for the role of water in temperature regulation.

Ice is less dense than water due to spaces in the solid. Water is regarded as a universal solvent for polar solutes. Blood and other aqueous body clouds usually contains many dissolved solutes.

How does natural selection lead to the development of antibiotic-resistant bacteria? ​

Answers

Answer:

Antibiotic resistance is a consequence of evolution via natural selection. The antibiotic action is an environmental pressure; those bacteria which have a mutation allowing them to survive will live on to reproduce. They will then pass this trait to their offspring, which will be a fully resistant generation.

Survival of the Fittest (Natural Selection):

When bacteria are initially exposed to an antibiotic, those most susceptible to the antibiotic will die quickly, leaving any surviving bacteria to pass on their resistant features to succeeding generations.

Answer:

This is super easy. In every population you have differences between the individuals in that population. If you apply a selection pressure to that population (like antibiotics to bacteria), you will kill all the bacteria that do not have the ability to withstand the drug. Thus, you have selected for those bacteria that happen to have a better ability to withstand it.

How might the digestive system and the immune system interact to help protect the body?
Please i need a correct and accurate answer. ++ giving brainliest

Answers

Answer:

Around 70% of our immune system dwells in our digestive tract in the form of gut-associated lymphoid tissue (GALT). An important component of our immune system called plasma cells (which give rise to invader-defending antibodies) also reside within the GALT. Our gut is the major channel between the external environment and the internal systems of our body. It is exposed to plenty of germs and harmful invaders such as bacteria and viruses present in food particles on a daily basis. [1] These toxic agents are perceived by the immune system in the gut as being harmful to our body and attacked. That being said, our body does not reject everything we put into it. This process is known as tolerance. When our immune system rejects an otherwise harmless substance, we are labeled as being sensitive or allergic to that food/food ingredient.

After a workout, the muscles in a basketball player's legs are very sore. Which of the following statements best explains why the basketball player experiences this muscle soreness after a workout?How are the processes of photosynthesis and cellular respiration interrelated?

Answers

Answer:

1. There is an increase in the amount of lactic acid being produced in the muscle cells during the process of anaerobic respiration.

2. Photosynthesis removes carbon dioxide from the atmosphere and cellular respiration releases carbon dioxide into the atmosphere

Explanation:

Note, medical professionals consider lactic acid a byproduct released when we are engaged in intense physical exercise. Although it is still believed that the increase in the number of lactic acids causes muscle soreness, some medical findings have revealed they have no such effect on muscles.

Put simply, photosynthesis involves a natural cycle where carbon dioxide is released into the atmosphere by humans and animals for plants, and green plants undergo a process where they convert carbon dioxide into oxygen for humans. It is interrelated with cellular respiration in the sense that, cellular respiration also involves a convertion (of glucose) to carbon dioxide released into the atmosphere.

What is meiosis in sexual reproduction?

Gametes or sex cells, which are needed for sexual reproduction are created during meiosis.

It deactivates the sporophytic information while activating the genetic information for the production of sex cells.

Meiosis is a kind of cell division that results in the production of four gamete cells and a 50% reduction in the number of chromosomes in the parent cell. To develop egg and sperm cells for sexual reproduction, this procedure is necessary.

Therefore in sexually reproducing organisms meiosis is important to produce gametes, hence option a is correct.

Hi, you've asked an incomplete question. The full question reads;

1. Identify the:

Control GroupIndependent VariableDependent Variable

2. Explain whether the data supports the advertisement's claims about its product.

Answer:

Subject AThe "certain itch powder"The time of itchiness  

Explanation:

1. Remember, the Control group in research often refers to the group in a research experiment that who are not subjected to any treatment, rather they are used as a comparison scale to see how other tested subjects perform.

We also need to note here that the independent variable here refers to a variable or factor that does not change (ie it is independent), but which results in changes in other variables. From the study, the "certain itch powder.""The time of itchiness" is a dependent variable because it does change, or can be affected by the independent variable.

2. Remember, the advertisement of the "certain itching" "claims to cause 50% longer lasting itches". Hence, we can conclude that the data support the advertisement claims since subject B did itch over 50% longer than subject A. In fact, we are subject B itched for 10 hours, not the 30 minutes subjet A itched.

Answers

Answer:

Hybridization - a method that unionizes gametes of differing genes to create a new individual

Recombinant DNA - cultured DNA molecules from different biological sources

Selective breeding - a process of breeding organisms because of their specific traits

Explanation:

In biology, hybridization is the process of creating a hybrid by combining gametes of different species or varieties. An example of a hybrid is a liger - an offspring of a lion and a tiger.

Recombinant DNA is DNA created in the process of genetic recombination. Genetic material from multiple sources is combined, creating sequences that do not occur in the genome naturally.

Selective breeding is the process of breeding organisms with desirable characteristics. For example, a good dog breeder will breed only two completely healthy dogs in order to make sure that the puppies don't have any health issues often associated with the breed.
