Scientists, looking at the range of beak shapes and sizes across different finch species, observed that the thicker beak express

ed a gene known as BMP4 early in development. To verify that the BMP4 gene itself could trigger the growth of bigger beaks, researchers increased the production of BMP4 in the developing beaks of chicken embryos. Which of the following results would explain why BMP4-treated chicks began growing wider, taller beaks?
A) Change to the genome induces radical changes in form.
B) New genes arise every time a new species arises.
C) Development cannot change morphology.
D) BMP4 is a homeotic gene.

Bacteria are organisms that reproduce asexually. How is this better for them
lukranit [14]

Answer:

C. They can grow to larger populations more quickly

Explanation:

Bacteria are the <u>key entities</u> of <u>biogeochemical cycle</u>s (Nitrogen, Carbon, Oxygen, etc.) on Earth. The strength of these cycles is typically achieved when they can multiply faster in a relatively <u>short time period</u>. If all bacteria on Earth start reproducing via sexual means only, then many of the biogeochemical cycles would take forever, thus <u>generating nutrients at a slower rate</u>. Since higher organisms (e.g. eukaryotes) depend on the abundant supply of nutrients, the overall life on Earth would be compromised to a larger extent in the absence of sufficient nutrients supply. Thus, it is  <u>beneficial for all forms of life that bacteria reproduce mainly via asexual means</u>.

PS: A simple bacterium can produce millions of copies in 24 hours period.

Predict the initial consequence to the lake due to a sudden influx of nutrients in the form of fertilizers due to run off from n
Brrunno [24]

Answer: The initial consequence to the lake due to a sudden influx of nutrients in the form of fertilizers due to run off from nearby farm fields is the rapid growth of algae. The influx of nutrients lets algae thrive and can cause eutrophication, which will eventually lower dissolved oxygen levels.
