The researchers also found that after 150 days, the relative change in virulence of B. thuringiensis was greater than the relati

ve change in the resistance in C. elegans when the organisms were cultured together. Provide ONE reason that the relative change in B. thuringiensis virulence was greater than the relative change in C. elegans resistance.

Answer:  pathogen–host coevolution

Explanation:

A major driver of evolution is Reciprocal coevolution between host and pathogen. Rather than pathogen, one-sided adaptation to a nonchanging host, high virulence specifically favoured during pathogen–host coevolution. In all of the independent replicate populations under coevolution, the pathogen ( B. thuringiensis ) genotype BT-679 with known nematocidal toxin genes of C. elegans and high virulence specifically swept to fixation but only some of them go under one-sided adaptation,

so relative change in B. thuringiensis virulence was greater than the relative change in C. elegans resistance is due to the elevated copy numbers of the plasmid containing the nematocidal toxin genes .

Which of the following can reduce biodiversity within a natural environment?
zepelin [54]
The answer is either b or c because bio means life and diversity means different and the ants stinging other insects get  rid of a population and maybe another species lives off of the species that ant killed.                                                                                                     
When the grasslands are converted into housing projects it gets rid of everything so no trees no animals and no diversity of living organisms other than humans

All northern elephant seals come from a very small genetic pool. This is because in the 1890s a large number of them were very q
Mashcka [7]

Answer:

b. the bottleneck effect.

Explanation:

The bottleneck effect occurs when a population's size is reduced for at least one generation. This will result in a very reduced genetic variation, which can lead to further adaptation problems.

The Founder effect has its similarities (in terms of the resulting reduced genetic pool) with the bottleneck effect, BUT it occurs when a new colony is started by a few members of the original population.

The Hardy-Weinberg equilibrium is a principle in population genetics that states that the genetic variation in a population will remain constant from one generation to the next IF certain conditions are present (no migration, aleatory mating, among others), so this is not the answer.

Genetic drift (refers to the change in the frequency of an existing gene variant in a population due to random sampling of organisms, so it is not the answer.

What distinct difference did 19th century scientists notice between plant and animal cells?
Leto [7]

Answer:

cell walls, vacuoles, chloroplasts, centriole

Explanation:

Plant cells have cell walls, one large vacuole per cell, and chloroplasts, while animal cells will have a cell membrane only and several smaller vacuoles. Animal cells also have a centriole, which is not found in most plant cells.

Why does meiosis produce cells with fewer chromosomes?
Setler [38]
Answer:
           The correct option is c ( <span>sexual reproduction joins two cells that each have half the total chromosome number).
Reason:
              Meiosis occurs only in reproductive cell in which the number of chromosome reduce to half. This phenomenon is very imoportant and essential for maintaining the number of chromosomes in species.</span><span />
