You are visiting Florida. You observe that many of the baby alligators have more than one tail. After doing research, you learn

that a nearby farm has been dumping waste into the ecosystem. The waste contains bacteria that have been known to cause mutations in mice and rats.
You take fifty alligator eggs back to your laboratory. You place 25 of the eggs into a container with water and sand without bacteria. You place the other 25 eggs into a separate container that has water, sand, and the bacteria. You wait several weeks until the alligators hatch and then count how many of the baby alligators have more than one tail.



Write a hypothesis for the experiment.

How does science use fossil evidence tofo support the theory of evolution
Illusion [34]

When you hear talk of evidence for evolution, the first thing that frequently comes to mind for most people is fossils. The fossil record has one important, unique characteristic: it is our only actual glimpse into the past where common descent is proposed to have taken place. As such it provides invaluable evidence for common descent. The fossil record is not "complete" ( fossilization is a rare event, so this is to be expected), but there is still a wealth of fossil information.

irakobra [83]

Answer:

The mutation will be fixed by genetic drift.

Explanation:

Genetic drift is the change in the allele frequencies in a population that occur randomly. It is an evolutionary process (like natural selection), that is associated with the reduction in genetic diversity by the fixation of rare allelic variants and neutral mutations. In this example, this point mutation is neutral since, according to data, the population is evolving by genetic drift. Moreover, it is also important to note that a mutation that involves one nucleotide is also called Single Nucleotide Polymorphism (SNP).

Diferencia entre las bacterias y los virus.
myrzilka [38]

Answer:

Los virus son más pequeños y no son células. A diferencia de las bacterias, necesitan un huésped como un humano o un animal para multiplicarse.

Las bacterias son organismos vivos unicelulares. Tienen una pared celular y todos los componentes necesarios para sobrevivir y reproducirse. Los virus no se consideran "vivos" porque requieren una célula huésped para sobrevivir a largo plazo, para obtener energía y para reproducirse.
