Describe how Seymour Benzer's phage experiments contributed to deciphering the genetic code

1 answer:

3 0

Seymour Benzer accidentally found a gene called r (rapid lysis) in the bacteriophage T4. The rll mutants were not able to grow on the bacterial strain in his experiment which became the catalyst for his discovery on the meaning of a gene. He collected rll mutants and mapped about 20,000 mutants and deletion. The finding of his study is that the rll gene could be represented by an estimate of 1,000 recombination units.

When the birth rate is equal to each woman producing exactly enough offspring to replace herself and her offspring's father, and

Ostrovityanka [42]

Answer:

R = 0 and no population growth.

Explanation:

Birth rate may be defined as the growth of individual per thousand and death rate determines the death of individual per thousand in a year. The birth and death changes the population dynamics.

The growth rate depends on both the factors that are birth rate and death rate. Here, the birth rate is balanced or equal that replace the offspring father. The change in the population growth is same and the birth and replacement almost cancel out each other. In this case, the birth rate is zero and population do not grow.

Thus, the answer is R = 0 and no population growth.

In tropical climates, where strong insolation makes temperatures high, all that is needed for intense daily convectional storms

mina [271]

The tropical climate is found northward and southward from the equator to about 15 to 25° of latitude. 
In tropical climates, where strong insolation makes temperatures high, all that is needed for intense daily convectional storms is a source of humidity. All months have average temperatures greater than 18° Celsius.

Is evolution a random process? Why or why not.

Bingel [31]

Answer: No

But it is crazy. If Evolution was real things would not be the same as it is today.

Explanation: All life on Earth evolved from a single-celled organism that lived roughly 3.5 billion years ago, a new study seems to confirm.

Evolution is a theory . Charles Darwin came up with it.

Evolution is defined as the process of growth and development or the theory that organisms have grown and developed from past organisms. An example of evolution is how cell phones have changed over time.
