Answer:
B. 25%
Explanation:
Assuming the trait for teeth size is represented by the allele A. large teeth size is dominant and will be represented by A while small teeth size will be represented by a.
Assuming that the population of 1,000 [piranhas are all heterozygotes and they crossbreed with one another:
Aa x Aa = AA, Aa, Aa and aa
The ration of piranhas with large teeth to that of the small teeth is 3:1 or 75:25.
Hence, about 25% of the next generation of the population is ecpected to have small teeth.
The correct option is B.
Answer:
The reason why there is so much diversity of life, despite the fact that DNA is the same for all living things, the pairings are always the same and there are only six components that make up the DNA, is that sequences of base pairs are different.
Explanation:
DNA is the molecule that contains all the genetic information, whose structure consists of four nitrogenous bases, adenine, guanine, thymine and cytosine, plus deoxyribose and a phosphate group. This DNA molecule constitutes the basis of life and inheritance of all living beings.
The nitrogenous bases of DNA are found in a number and specific sequences, which determine the proteins and biomolecules that must be synthesized in the cells.
What makes different types of living beings and diversity of life is the length of the DNA and the sequence of bases that form part of each molecule.
The other options are not correct because:
- <em>The sugar component of DNA is always the same, not different.
</em>
- <em>Organisms always use DNA in the same way.
</em>
- <em>The DNA molecule is always the same.</em>
Answer:
b. False
Explanation:
A scientific theory must have strong support from testable facts that are confirmed (or rejected) by observational and/or experimental procedures. The scientific method is a rigorous process that consists of arising a conjecture (hypothesis) which can be subsequently used to make predictions from its logical consequences, and finally to obtain information from empirical observations/experiments in order to obtain a conclusion about the veracity of the scientific claims (i.e., a hypothesis must be testable). In consequence, a scientific theory can not be based only on 'light' conjectures, but trustworthy observational data from the real world.
D. an asteroid because an asteroid is the only thing that can form a meteor crater.
