Answer:

False

Explanation:

One of the most commonly used assays for the characterization of the mutagenic potential of environmental samples, including surface water, is the Ames test that allows the identification of substances with the potential to induce frameshift or base pair substitution gene mutations.

For this reason, we can conclude that the phrase "The Ames test is used for detecting chemicals with carcinogenic potential." is false.

Anton [14]

Answer: The correct answers are option(b) and(d).

Explanation:

When the lamp was dimmer the resistance offered by the lamp was more which just resist the flow current from the circuit.

$V=RI$ (Ohm's Law)

When the Janet decrease the resistance to (R') by sliding the dimmer switch (voltage remained constant). On decreasing the resistance the flow of current in circuit will increase by which light of the lamp will become brighter.

Hence, from the enlisted options the correct options option(b) and(d).

Ivahew [28]

Answer:

hitchhiker effect

it is an exaptation

Explanation:

Adaptation is a property which occurs due to change in the environmental conditions of an organism. Some traits of organisms are not adaptation because sometimes the function of a trait changes due to evolution which we called exaptation. It also occurs due to hitchhiker effect, this effect occurs when the change occurs in the frequency of allele not due to natural selection but due to selective sweep with the nearby gene.
