The most common circumference to be expected in this situation is 2 cm.

Since it is given that the original population of oak trees contains acorns with the most common circumference of 2 cm, thus, the same circumference will be favored after 15 generations of stabilizing selection.

Stabilizing selection occurs when natural selection results in stabilization i.e. large number of individuals attain mean or average value for a particular trait. In this process, phenotypes of medium-sized individuals are favored through natural selection.

Since it is already mentioned that the mean circumference is 2 cm in the original population thus the same value will be expected after 15 generations of stabilizing selection.

Chief cells are found in glands that line the inside of the stomach. These cells secrete large amounts of enzymes to aid in food
kvv77 [185]

The correct answer is: Endoplasmic reticulum.

One of the functions of the endoplasmic reticulum is transport of secretory proteins. Synthesized proteins are transported in vesicles to the Golgi apparatus.

Gastric chief cells have a high rate of enzyme secretion such as pepsinogen and gastric lipase. It is the cell also responsible for secretion of chymosin.

During DNA Replication, a DNA strand that has the bases 3'ATACGC5' produces a strand with the bases
Gemiola [76]

During DNA Replication, the DNA strand that has the bases 3'ATACGC5' produces a strand with the bases 5'TATGCG3'  

Answer: Option B

<u>Explanation:</u>

The DNA Replication produces the newly formed two complimentary base pair strand from the two template base pair strand, so basically the already existing DNA strand is replicated, in order to produce complimentary DNA strand, with the template giving one strand to new each.

Thereby, here the given base was 3' ATACGC 5' so the first thing to produce the strand will be that the coding end will be reversed so the 3' end will have 5' end and 5' end will have 3' end. Then A bonds with T and T bonds with A and, so C bonds with G and G bonds with C, therefore, ATACGC will produce TATGCG. Thereby, answer would be 5'TATGCG3'.

Of the following choices, what is the approximate LD50 of the least toxic substance? 20 mg/kg, 70 mg/kg, or 130 mg/kg
pychu [463]

The approximate LD50 of the least toxic substance will be 130 mg/Kg.

  • The dose necessary to cause the death of 50% of a population under test after a predetermined test period is known as the LD50 value for a drug.
  • Commonly used as a broad indicator of a substance's acute toxicity are LD50 values.
  • Greater toxicity is indicated by a lower LD50. A low LD50 of 500 mg/kg or less implies severe toxicity.
  • Moderate toxicity is indicated by an LD50 of 500 to 1,000 mg/kg. A modest toxicity level of 1,000 to 2,000 mg/kg is indicated.
  • The species is especially vulnerable to the poison if the LD50 is low. The lethal dose (LD50) of a specific poison might change significantly between several animal species.
  • Thus out of all the options, LD50 130 mg/kg will have the lowest toxicity and 20 mg/kg will be the highest.
