Darwin discusses the bird species on the island. How does this relate to his theory of evolution by natural selection

Answer:

Darwin's discussion of bird species on the Galapagos islands relates to natural selection because the finches all have a recent common ancestor, but they evolved on different islands with different types of food, so the birds that weren't fit enough to survive the island conditions died, and the ones that did were "naturally selected."

Explanation:

The finches all have a recent common ancestor but they evolved on different islands where different types of food are available. During his visit to the islands, Darwin noted that the unique creatures were similar from island to island, but perfectly adapted to their environments which led him to ponder the origin of the islands' inhabitants. Among those that struck Darwin so greatly were the finches that are now named in his honor.

Scientists studying transcription in yeast (Saccharomyces cerevisiae) created an experimental strain that
Ray Of Light [21]

Answer:

Explanation:

Hello!

The scientist created an experimental strain that produces a modified RNA polymerase with a single amino acid substitution. This mutation is supposed to change the elongation rate of the mRNA during transcription.

The dependent or response variable, is the one the researchers are interested in, meaning, are the characteristics that the researcher will pay attention to and measure during the experiment.

In this example, the researcher is interested in testing the max elongation rate during transcription, which is the dependent variable of this experiment.

In the second part of the experiment, both strains of yeast, wilds, and experimental, where exposed to 40ug/mL solution of amanitin and recorded the maximum elongation rate of the RNA. This is naturally to test the effects of amanitin over the elongation rate of the mRNA in both strains.

The control group is a set of experimental units that are exposed to the same conditions as the experimental groups, with the exception that they receive no treatment (or they receive a "no effective" treatment often called a placebo). The purpose of a control group is to know the natural response of the experimental units to a treatment-free environment, this way when comparing both groups, the researcher will be able to observe the differences or changes due to the applied treatments.

In the second experiment, there are missing two control groups, one made of the wild strain and the other made of the experimental strain, exposed to the same conditions as the treated strains.

I hope this helps!

What is a cell membrane​
Murrr4er [49]

Answer:

The cell membrane (also called the phospholipid bilayer or the plasma membrane) is one of the most important structures a cell has. If you think of the cell as a really popular nightclub, the membrane is the bouncer. It decides what enters and exits the cell.

In what way can runoff be a problem
Verizon [17]
Runoff in neighborhoods can be a problem because as the water runs it can collect pollutants such as oil, pesticides, bacteria, etc. These pollutants can end up in our drinking water or can run into our fishing supply and even our swimming water... I wouldn't want to be swimming or eating fish that was swimming in pesticides and bacteria.
