Well, in terms of the science of artificial selection, mutations will be useful in achieving your goal as a genetic mutation that happens often in insects, particularly fruit flies, is a change of color. A strategy that could be used would be a Punnet square to simulate the possible crosses between the insects and which is most likely to bring out the recessive gene (the desired color). Finally, the breeding of dogs can be explained by humans breeding tall dogs with other tall dogs to ensure that the outcome would most likely be another recessive gene (tallness) and a similar set of events would explain the Pomeranian (short dogs being breed with other short dogs) <span />
Answer:
d) 625 grey wolves
Explanation:
Number of grey wolves in yellowstone;
1997 = 100 wolves
2002 = 275 wolves
Between 1997 and 2002 (a five year period), number of wolves increased by; 275 - 100 = 175 wolves
Population growth rate between 1997 and 2002 = 175 wolves per 5 years
Note that the population growth continued at the same rate from 2002 to 2012 (a ten year period).
Therefore;
if; 5 years = 175 wolves
10 years = (175 × 10) / 5 =350 wolves.
therefore, number of wolves between 2002 and 2012 = 350 wolves.
Number of wolves as at 2002 = 275 wolves
total number of wolves at 2012 = 350 + 275 = 625 wolves

<h2>Fatty acid oxidation </h2>
Explanation:
- Activation of fatty acids (palmitate) occurs in the cytoplasm where fatty acids are activated to fatty acyl CoA, reaction catalysed by an enzyme called fatty acyl CoA synthetase
- A specialized carnitine carrier system catalyze transportation of activated fatty acid from cytoplasm to matrix of mitochondria, where carnitine system consists of three proteins:
- Carnitine acyl transferase I located in outer membrane of mitochondria catalyze transfer of carnitine to fatty acyl CoA and produce fatty acyl carnitine
- Carnitine translocase facilitate passive diffusion of fatty acyl carnitine from inter membrane space to matrix located in inner membrane
- Carnitine acyl transferase III located in inner mitochondrial membrane at matrix phase catalyze transfer of CoA to fatty acyl carnitine and regenerate fatty acyl CoA
Hence, the cytosolic and mitochondrial pools of CoA are thus kept separate, and no radioactive CoA from the cytosolic pool enters the mitochondria
