The California newt, Toricha toroso, lives in the coastal areas around Los Angeles. Which of the following is a valid null hypot

hesis relating fitness to survival of a bottleneck event in a coastal area where a small, isolated population of California newts resides?
(A) Only those salamanders with the lowest evolutionary fitness will be eliminated by the bottleneck effect, lowering the allelic frequencies of their traits.
(B) Only those salamanders with the highest evolutionary fitness will survive the bottleneck event, raising the allelic frequencies of their traits.
(C) Surviving the bottleneck event will be random, so any change in the allelic frequencies of the salamander population is not attributed to fitness
(D) Surviving the bottleneck event will be random, so there will be no changes to the allelic frequencies due to the bottleneck event.

Answer:

(B) Only those salamanders with the highest evolutionary fitness will survive the bottleneck event, raising the allelic frequencies of their traits.

Explanation:

Toricha toroso is a type of salamander which lives in the coastal areas of California after the bottleneck event. Bottleneck event is a kind of event in which population of organisms are reduced due to harsh climatic condition. In these harsh climatic condition of the environment, Toricha toroso survive because of the fitness of this salamander. Fitness plays a vital role in the survival of organisms.

Answer:

The letter is C

Explanation:

The genetic drift caused by a population bottleneck can change the proportional random distribution of alleles and even lead to loss of alleles. The chances of inbreeding and genetic homogeneity can increase, possibly leading to inbreeding depression. Smaller population size can also cause deleterious mutations to accumulate.

A DNA sequence is shown. AAT - CCG - GTG Which sequence best shows the result of a substitution mutation in the DNA?
kotegsom [21]
Mutations are sudden spontaneous random changes that occur in the genetic make up of an organisms. A substitution mutation is a type of mutation that exchanges one base for another, for example a change in a single base such as switching an A to a G). Substitution could cause a change of codon to one that encodes a different amino acid and cause a small change in the protein produced. In the above sequence AAT-CCG-GTG in substitution of a single base

Why is smooth ER considered smooth?
34kurt
Rough ER is dotted with ribosomes which give it a "rough" appearance. Smooth ER doesn't contain ribosomes. :) Hope this helps!

All of the following are part of a prokaryotic cell except
aleksandr82 [10.1K]

Answer:

An Endoplasmic reticulum

Explanation:

A living organism can either have prokaryotic or eukaryotic cells.

Eukaryotic cells have a defined nucleus and other membrane bound organelles whereas prokaryotic cells lack membrane bound organelles such as mitochondrion and chloroplast.

Endoplasmic reticulum are membranous system that forms a system of flattened sacs in the cytoplasm.

These organelles can only be found in eukaryotic cells and not prokaryotic cell.
