The brilliant research scientist, Professor "Iron-Mike" Scrawll is studying a new pore-forming toxin from the pathogenic bacteri
Dafna11 [192]

Answer:

The correct option is C - Professor Scrawll applied 100 nM BurD to the cells for 24 hours, while Dr. Bogey applied 1 nM BurD to the cells for 12 hours.

Explanation:

The correct option is C - Professor Scrawll applied 100 nM BurD to the cells for 24 hours, while Dr. Bogey applied 1 nM BurD to the cells for 12 hours.

As the exotoxin, BurD is very stable and lyse the ankle cells very quickly, more concentration and more time of action should only lyse the cells. Perhaps Dr.Bogey's ankle cells were not lysed because the concentration she used was only 1nM compared to the 100nM concentration used by Dr. Scrawll, and the time period of incubation was only 12 hours compared to the 24 hours used by Dr. Scrawll.

Considering the other explanations given in the remaining options, the concentration and time of incubation used by Dr. Bogey are more than that used by Dr. Scrawll which should only have possibly lysed the cells. Moreover, contamination with bleach also should have only lysed the cells.

In a large population of plants, notches in the leaves are caused by a dominant allele N and lack of notches by a recessive alle
Jobisdone [24]

Answer:

C

Explanation:

If the population is in equilibrium, the allele frequencies will be constant.

There is nothing about the heritability of dominant or recessive alleles that make dominant ones any more likely by nature. This rules out choices A and B.

Genetic drift mentioned in D refers to alleles leaving a population. Nothing like this was mentioned in the question, so count that answer out.

C is the only remaining answer by process of elimination. It is also the most logical choice. Directional selection refers to a process of natural selection wherein extreme phenotypes (notched leaves, or non-notched leaves) are favored. In this case, there may be some external pressure causing notched leaf plants to be more evolutionarily fit, meaning that they survive long enough to reproduce more and increase allele frequency of the dominant allele.
