In a population of beetles, about 1 in every 6 beetles is slightly smaller and lighter in color than the others. the small, ligh

ter beetles are a little better at evading predators and this increases the chances of survival and reproduction. what is likely to happen to the representation of the smaller, lighter beetle in the overall population over time? will the ration remain at roughly 6:1, or will it change? if it changes, why will it change, and in what direction?

<span>Eventually the smaller, lighter beetles will out breed the larger, darker ones. Because they can avoid predators more easily, allowing them to reproduce more often and with better results. The larger, darker beetles will inevitably be found more often by predators and as such won't be able to reproduce as often, or as safely, as the smaller, lighter beetles.</span>

What is the first form of chemical digestion that food encounters when entering the digestive system? A.molars B.pepsin C.saliva
Archy [21]

Answer:

Chemical digestion actually starts in the mouth when our saliva mixes in with the food. So, A. wouldn't really be correct. It's not the molars that are doing the chewing, but rather your jaw muscels. I don't even know what pepsin is... <u>C. would probably be your best bet because it's your saliva that breaks down your food and helps you chew it.</u> And D. your tongue just helps to move the food around...

Explanation:

Hope this helps you!!!

Amino acids share ____ chemical groups but have ____ side chains that allow for variation. The common groups are amino and ___ g
Roman55 [17]

Answer: Amino acids share COMMON chemical groups but have UNIQUE side chains that allow for variation. The common groups are amino and CARBOXYL groups attached to an α carbon. Amino acids link together into a polypeptide via PEPTIDE bonds. Each polypeptide has a unique sequence. The repeating subunits interact with each other via hydrogen bonds to establish secondary structures. Interactions between the side chains determine the tertiary structure of the polypeptide. The combination allows for an almost infinite number of possible structures, each with a different function.

A scientist makes primers specific to a particular str fragment these primers are then used to amplify the str fragments from 10
Nonamiya [84]

Answer:

The STR fragments will have different size for different animals.

Explanation:

  • STR means Short Tandem Repeats.
  • STR forms the genome's microsatellite region.
  • STR or microsatellite is that region of the genome where, about two to seven base pairs of the DNA (for example, ATGATGATGATG), are  repeated for multiple time. Such sequences can have few hundred repeats.
  • While replicating these micro-satellite regions, the accuracy of the DNA polymerase in proof-reading the sequence of the newly synthesised strand, decreases, due to the multiple repeats.
  • As a result of this, the DNA polymerase either adds more or adds less of such repeated sequences as compared to the parental DNA sequence. This results in generation of polymorphism (different microsatellite size in different individuals) in the repeat regions.
  • Due to difference in size of the STR in different individuals, the size of the fragment amplified through PCR will vary for different elephants.
