Two birds that look very similar to each other have always been considered two distinct species based on differences in their bo

dy size and in where they live. A group of ornithologists studying the two species begins to think they might not be separate species based on observed behavior. What would be the best next step regarding this new hypothesis?

The evaluation of their DNA and short tandem repeats will let them know if the birds are related or not. The genetic linkage will provide information about their common ancestry as well as if they belong to the same species, or are closely related species.

Answer:

A Genetic structure analysis

Explanation:

An analysis of genetic structure will help to know if these two groups are really different species. For that, some mitochondrial markers could be used first. Mitochondrial markers are used quite frequently for this purpose, since they usually show genetic preferences between different species. This is because they evolve faster than nuclear markers.

imagine you want to learn more about Mike Smith's osteosarcoma. How could you use microarray technology to determine which genes
nasty-shy [4]
By using microarray technology you can calculate the ratio by analyzing the colors on the glass plate. If the ratio is greater than 1, then the gene is induced by tumor formation. Less than 1 then it is suppressed by tumor formation. If the ratio is 0, the gene is not expressed in either cell. If the ratio is =<span> to 1, the gene is not affected.</span>

Which factor within a population could be studied to determine whether the population is evolving?
Natali5045456 [20]
<span>Allele frequency is a factor within a population that can be studied in order to determine whether or not a population is evolving. Alleles are one of two or more ways in which a particular gene can be expressed. One can measure this expression in a population and measure its frequency to measure whether or not the population is evolving.</span>
