Wild-type bacteria can grow on minimal medium. Four mutants that cannot grow on minimal medium but can grow on minimal medium su

pplemented with the nutrient “C” are isolated. It is suspected that metabolites A, B, and D are in the biochemical pathway for synthesis of C, so each mutant is tested for the ability to grow on minimal medium supplemented with these metabolites.
Mutant 1: can grow on minimal medium supplemented with A, but not B or D
Mutant 2: is unable to grow on minimal medium supplemented with A, B, or D
Mutant 3: is able to grow on minimal medium supplemented with B or A, but not D
Mutant 4: can grow on minimal medium supplemented with A, B, or D.

Which of the following is NOT consistent with this information?

A. Mutant 2 will cause a build up of metabolite D
B. Mutant 1 will cause a build up of metabolite B
C. Mutant 3 blocks the conversion of metabolite D → metabolite B
D. Mutant 2 blocks a step right before metabolite C.
E. Mutant 4 blocks a step before all 4 metabolites.

10. Researchers observe a large population of birds on a remote island. Birds in the population are found to have either red cre
IgorLugansk [536]
Suppose that the proportion of the white crest alleles (r) is given by w and that of the Red crest allele (R) is given by p. We have that p+w=1. The probability that an individual has 2 r alleles is given by w*w since for each allele position the probability is w. Only these individuals have a White phenotype. Hence, we get that w^2=\frac{1759}{1759+11088}; the right hand side is the proportion of white birds in the total population. Doing the calculations, this yields that w=0.37. From this, we calculate that p=0.63. The possible ways we have heterozygous individuals are the combinations Rr and rR. The probability for each of those is p*w. Thus, the total probability is 2pw. This is equal to 0.466=0.47. This is the fraction of the future population that is going to be heterozygous assuming the conditions of the Handy-Weinberg equilibrium like random reproductive matching etc.

How can local environmental changes have global effects?
Alex777 [14]

Answer:

D

Explanation:

Water and air circulate around the world in water currents and wind systems (like prevailing winds) respectively, hence distribute energy and whatever else they are carrying across the globe. This is why polluting the oceans in the equatorial region will have indirect consequences for marine life in the poles.

Pollution of air through emission  of greenhouse gases in one part of the globe will contribute to global warming across the world because these emissions will be carried around by prevailing winds and diffuse across the atmosphere.

Global warming also causes climate change that subsequently causes the displacement or migration of organisms when this change in climate is unfavorable
