On a hike through the forest, you notice a population of 100 flowering plants that all look identical (phenotypic clones), and t

hey span an area of approximately 100 square meters. You take some representatives from one corner of their distribution back to the lab, sequence their DNA, and conclude that they are also genetic clones (i.e. genetically identical). Based on this information, state whether the statements below are true or false.
Also, provide an explanation.

1a. True or False: This population can evolve by natural selection.

1b. True or False: This population can evolve by genetic drift.

Answer:

1a. False

1b. False

Explanation:

They are genetic clones which make them identical so there is no difference in phenotype which is the key mechanism for evolution to occur through natural selection.

- since they are of one phenotype(genetically identical) genetic drift can not occur. For genetic drift to occur, there must be a change in the frequency of one allele within a population over a period of time and this genetic variation must occur randomly for a genetic drift to occur.

attashe74 [19]

the correct option is E.

in this case the shrew occupies the level of both secondary and tertiary consumers.

as the shrew eats spider( a secondary consumer) so it is a tertiary consumer but it also eats snails( a primary consumer) so it is therefore a secondary consumer also.

Assume that one of the disinfectant/antiseptics tested using the disc method had a clear zone of inhibition and to your surprise
o-na [289]

The presence of the minute growth near the disc signifies that the bacterial innoculum contains mutant microorganisms that are able to grow in the presence of toxic substances.

<h3>What are zones of inhibition?</h3>

The sensitivity testing in a microbiology laboratory is done to determine the effect of antibiotics on various bacteria organisms

The zone of inhibition when a disk method is used signifies the area of media where bacteria are unable to grow, due to presence of a drug that impedes their growth.

If there are presence of minute growth near the disc, it means that the bacterial innoculum contains mutant microorganisms that are able to grow in the presence of toxic substances such as disinfectants.

If these mutant bacteria organisms are not cleared by the disk method, it means that they cannot be killed by the disinfectant/antiseptics that is being tested.

On this World Meteorological Day, celebrated each year on March 23, we climb far above the Earth for a view of the southern Peruvian coast courtesy of the Landsat 8 satellite. Below the clouds, at the bottom of those canyons, are the Yauca and <span>Acarí </span>Rivers, which drain into the Pacific. As any good meteorologist taking a break from today’s celebrations will tell you, warm air from the equator forms a layer over the cool coastal air here, pushing the clouds into the deep river canyons and covering the Pacific Ocean shore.
