Answer:
the correct answers are as follows
12:
b. Testcross- an organism with dominant phenotype but unknown genotype is crossed with homozygous recessive organism for the same trait. Based on the results obtained, if all offsprings have the same phenotype, then the parent is homozygous, but when a 1:1 ratio is observed in the offsprings, then the parent is heterozygous.
13.
e. Watson and Crick- they both used the crystallographic images from Franklin, analyzed them to first elucidate the 3D structure of the DNA and propose it to the world.
14.
c. Intracellular and commonly found in the cytoplasm- the receptors of steroid hormones are generally present within the target cell either in the cytoplasm or nucleus, since they alter gene expression.
15
e. Certain prokaryotes/bacteria- this is a process that will enable disease-causing pathogens to communicate and cooperate with their group, by the release of autoinducers that increase their cell density.
Answer:
It will remain relatively stable
Explanation:
<u>The carrying capacity (k) of an environment is a factor that represents the maximum number of organisms of a particular species such environment can support based on the resources it has. </u>
<em>Below the carrying capacity</em>, the population of a species still has the potential to increase due to resource availability, and <em>above the carrying capacity</em>, the population has the potential to reduce due to the overstretching of the available resources. Factors that keep the population from expanding significantly beyond the carrying capacity include competition for resources, natural disasters, disease outbreaks, etc.
<em>Hence, if a population is steady at its carrying capacity and a group of organisms from that species moves into the same space occupied by the original population, the carrying capacity will only increase temporarily before factors such as competition and natural disasters operate to bring the carrying capacity to the normal level. </em>
Answer:
The correct answer is option (e)-"All of the answer choices are correct".
Explanation:
Fossils are defined as the remains of ancient organisms. Fossils are obtained from impressions left after an organism decays. There are different kinds of fossils depending on the material they are made of and how they were formed. Some fossils are made from minerals that are the replacement of the organic matter of the ancient organism, or are the replacement of mud that came from footprints. Alternatively, fossils could be plant resins or tar that preserved a specimen within.
Answer:
The correct answer is case control study.
Explanation:
A study in which a comparison is made between the patients carrying the disease with the patients not carrying the disease is known as the case-control study. In the mentioned study, the one carrying the disease is termed as cases, and the one that does not possess the disease is termed as controls.
This form of study is generally done to predict the association between the disease and the risk factor. In case-control studies, only observation is done as no attempt is made to change the course of the condition. The prime objective of the study is to predict the exposure of the risk elements for the individuals present in two groups, that is, controls and cases. This form of study is also called case-referent studies or retrospective studies.
