Answer:
The major evolutionary changes was overtime Pakicetus had an earbone with a feature unique to whales and an ankle bone that linked it to artiodactyls.
D.a system would be the answer.
Answer:
A. Genotypes: Rr
Phenotypes: All Pink
B. Genotypes in the F2 generation: RR, 2Rr, rr
Phenotypes: red, pink and white
C. 1RR (red): 1Rr (pink).
D. 1Rr (red) : 1rr (white).
Explanation:
This question involves one gene coding for flower color in snapdragon plants. The allele for red color (R) is incompletely dominant over the allele for white color (W), to form an intermediate pink color (RW).
A. If a red-flowered plant (RR) is crossed with a white-flowered plant (rr), the genotypes of the offsprings will be Rr with a pink color phenotype.
B. In the F2 generation i.e. Rr × Rr, the following will be produced: RR (red), 2Rr (pink), and rr (white).
C. if a red-flowered plant is crossed with a pink-flowered plant, the following will be produced: 1RR (red): 1Rr (pink).
D. if a pink-flowered plant is crossed with a white-flowered plant, the following will be produced: 1Rr (red) : 1rr (white).
Answer:
Endospores.
Explanation:
Microorganisms usually adapt to changes in their environment. One example of an extreme survival strategy employed by certain low G+C Gram-positive bacteria, generally of the Firmicute family, is the formation of endospores. They have a very peculiar structure that helps with this survival feature: an outer proteinaceous coat surrounding the spore provides much of the chemical and enzymatic resistance. Beneath the coat there is a very thick layer of specialized peptidoglycan called the cortex, which aids in resistance to high temperature. They are resistant to desiccation, lysozyme, ultraviolet and gamma radiation, chemical disinfectants, starvation AND temperature. So, in this experiment, it is probable that the boiled broth contained endospores, which survived this heating and then reactivated its metabolism.
