Answer:
Option B, No
Explanation:
Complete question is as follows -
You have spent time working with a population of beetles. Sexually mature males range in size from 2-6 cm in length. You realize that the females only mate with males that measure less than 3 cm long. If you measured allele frequencies at a single gene (locus) that contributes to overall length, would you expect this population to be in H-W equilibrium from one generation to the next?
Select one:
a. Yes
b. No
Solution -
No, because Hardy Weinberg’s equilibrium theory is not applicable in practical scenario as it assumes that H-W equilibrium persists from one generation to the other only when these is no disturbing factor . These disturbing factors include – natural selection, non-random mating, genetic drift, gene flow and mutations. Since this theory works only in an idealized state where no such disturbances occur, it is very difficult to say that the beetle population can remain in H-W equilibrium. Also the females in the beetle population are selecting the males for mating thereby exhibiting sexual selection. Hence, H-W equilibrium will not be applicable.
Hence, option B
HOMEOSTASIS AND METABOLISM.
Joseph Priestley is an 18th century natural philosopher who is famous in his experiments in electricity, air, optics and soda water. His works are qualitative rather than quantitative because he does not concern himself with theories but practical applications.
His experiment in electricity through replication of other experiments lead to the publication of his book known as History of Electricity. He observed that electricity conducts through certain materials like coal and that electricity flow from conductors to non-conductors.With this experiments he concluded that conductivity is related to chemical property.
Another experiment that lead to a famous discovery is placing a mice in closed container with mercuric oxide. He concluded that the mice survived sometime because of common air-oxygen. He then relate oxygen in respiration and its use in the blood.
