Chemicals extracted from certain sponges have been used in the treatment of cancer patients. Which of the following could be con

sidered a negative impact on the ocean environment from this type of biotechnology?
In the process of extracting the chemicals needed for the medicine, sponges will release toxins which harm the environment.
Humans may kill too many sponges, impacting the ocean environment in order to extract more of the chemicals.
Sponges provide habitats for other marine organisms, so killing them could harm the environment.
Sponges regenerate, so extracting these chemicals could cause the sponges to overpopulate and have a negative impact on the marine environment.

Answer:

2.Less than 73% of the populations would have only one allele present.

Explanation:

The two alleles chosen do not affect the fitness of flies in the lab environment, so Kerr and Wright could be confident that if changes in the frequency of normal and forked phenotypes occurred, they would not be due to natural selection.

Using a larger breeding population would not be expected to alter the outcome of the experiment.

Explain why it is that translation cannot happen, unless transcription happens first.
Aleks [24]

Answer:

Translation uses DNA as a template to direct the synthesis of a RNA which in turn serves as a template for Translation which template is used to direct the synthesis of a polypeptide chain.

Without transcription, there will not be a mRNA strand to act as a template for translation by the ribosomes to occur at all.
