Answer is A a more diverse population, including Chinese immigrants.
HAVE A NICE DAY!!!
No I am afraid it is not lol
Answer: alternative D.
Explanation: For the DNA to have the double strand structure, it is necessary to copy the sequence of the existing DNA strand in a complementary sequence of nucleotides, forming hydrogen bonds between them. The mRNA also uses this strategy when reading the DNA strand during the transcription, in order for the translation to begin.
Answer;
C. Multipotent
Explanation;
-Multipotent cells are those cells that can develop into more than one cell type, however, they are more limited than pluripotent cells. Adult stem cells and cord blood stem cells are considered multipotent.
Totipotent cells on the other hand, are those cells that can form all the cell types in a body, together with the extraembryonic, or placental cells. Embryonic cells are the only cells that are totipotent within the first couple of cell divisions after fertilization.
Pluripotent cells are those cells that give rise to all of the cell types that make up the body; embryonic stem cells are considered pluripotent.
Complete question:
In a separate study, 68 rock pocket mice were collected from four different, widely separated areas of dark lava rock. One collecting site was in Sonora, Mexico. The other three were in Chihuahua, Mexico. Dr. Nachman and colleagues observed no significant differences in the color of the rocks in the four locations sampled. However, the dark-colored mice from the three Chihuahua locations were slightly darker than the dark-colored mice from the Sonora population. The entire Mc1r gene was sequenced in all 68 of the mice collected. The mutations responsible for the dark fur color in the Sonora mice were absent from the three different populations of Chihuahua mice. No Mc1r mutations were associated with dark fur color in the Chihuahua populations. These findings suggest that adaptive dark coloration has occurred at least twice in the rock pocket mouse and that these similar phenotypic changes have different genetic bases.
How does this study support the concept that natural selection is not random?
Answer:
The study supports the concept that natural selection is not random because in different areas with the same or very similar environmental characteristics, the same phenotype was produced by different types of mutations.
Explanation:
All of the sampled animals are inhabiting dark substrate. Probably animals needed to camouflage to survive. Natural selection must have driven them to produce dark color, similar to the substrate color. So animals from the different regions suffered different mutations that drove them to have almost the same dark fur color. The environmental condition is favoring the same phenotype.
