Answer:

1. Adaptive radiation: A pattern of evolution in which slightly different species evolve from one common ancestor.

2. Coevolution: A pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other.

3. Convergent evolution: A pattern of evolution in which similar characteristics evolve between two unrelated species.

4. Divergent evolution: A pattern of evolution in which very different species evolve from one common ancestor.

5. Gradualism: A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves by consistent, small, steps.

6. Punctuated equilibrium: A theory of evolution that states that a species evolves in spurts of rapid change and then no change.

• Adaptive radiation - a pattern of evolution in which slightly different species evolve from one common ancestor

For example - Evolution of mammals after the extinction of dinosaurs.

• Co evolution - a pattern of evolution in which two species evolve in relation to each other

For example – Development of flowering plant and associated insects or pollinators

• Convergent evolution - a pattern of evolution in which similar characteristics evolve between two unrelated species

For example – similar function of flight or wings of insects, birds and bats

• Divergent evolution - a pattern of evolution in which very different species evolve from one common ancestor

For example – different types of beaks of finches

• Gradualism - a theory of evolution that states that a species evolves by consistent, small, steps

For example – evolution of tigers to develop better line marks on their body

• Punctuated equilibrium - a theory of evolution that states that a species evolves in spurts of rapid change and then no change

You have two flasks (labeled A and B) that each contain an equal population of normal animal cells. You place flask A in a machi

Fudgin [204]

Answe: The cells in flask B will have grown significantly, but the cells in flask A will have not grown at all.

Explanation:

Conditions for the growth of mammalian cells and non animal Cells are different.

For bacteria cells, shaking will be required which allows oxygen to freely enter the cells and provide more nutrients to promote growth. However, this is not the same for animal cells.

When culturing mammalian cells, a CO2 incubator running at 37° C is required as opposed to non-mammalian cells that can be grown in a non-CO2 or dry incubator.

Describe how you would use the yeast-two-hybrid technique to find the proteins that interact with a liver-specific receptor prot

ollegr [7]

Answer:

Yeast-two-hybrid technique is one of the most important molecular technique that can be used to study the interactions at the molecular level. The interactions between the protein and DNA-protein interaction can be studied by this technique.

If the individual wants to study the liver liver-specific receptor protein then yeast-two-hybrid technique can be applied. The interested protein that can acts as prey and bait proteins must be covalently linked with the other third protein known as the reporter protein. Then the activity of the reporter protein is studied with the interactions of the prey and bait protein.

Which rights allow an individual to assign use rights or management rights for a resource? rights allow an individual to assign

tankabanditka [31]

The answer is: Use right / the right to use

Use right could only exist if a person who own a certain property or resources willingly (without any threat) give permission to other people to use that property/resources.

In business environment, this type of rights mostly given for artistic products. For example, in order to input a music that you didn't create on your you tube video, you need to obtain the use right from the artist who created the music.
