Answer:

Stephen is not his biological father.

Explanation:

DNA fingerprinting is a technique use to determine the DNA sequence of an individual organism. Short tandem repeats are unique among the individuals ans used to identify the individual in population.

The George DNA fingerprinting shows that he has STRs length of 6 and 7. Stephen's STRs does not match with his son George whereas Mary shows some similarities with George STRs. This indicates that Stephen is not the biological father of George because the biological father's STRs must match with the children STRs.

Thus, the correct answer is option (a).

Which of the following life processes requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms?
prisoha [69]
The most probable answer for this question would be that almost every life process requires specialized cells in multicellular organisms. To simply put it, cells of multicellular organisms are specialized in a way that they are all grouped into their respective tissues and these tissues are all grouped into their respective organs and these organs are all grouped together into their respective systems and these systems make up the multicellular organisms. These systems have their own functions in maintaining and sustaining the life that the organisms has. The organs have their own functions as well, thus specialized cells are mostly needed in respiration, digestion, circulation, movement, excretion, reproduction, immunity, coordination, and synthesis.

1. The effect of initial population sizes on the growth of populations of an organism was
ella [17]

When graphing data, we must consider the variables, label axes, define units of measure. In this case, variables are initial population size / final population size, showing an directly proportional relationship.

-------------------------------------

We need to construct a graph illustrating the data in the table.

We can make a <u>dispersion graph</u>. To do it, we need to define variables.

Since we want to know how <em>different initial population sizes affect population growth, </em>

  • the independent variable is the initial population size
  • the dependent variable is the final population size (after 24 hours)

The final population size depends on the initial population size. This is, <em>the number of individuals at the beginning will </em><em>influence</em><em> the final number of individuals</em>.

  • Initial population sizes ⇒X horizontal ax ⇒Unit: Number of individuals
  • Final population sizes ⇒ Y vertical ax ⇒ Unit: Number of individuals

By making a dispersion graph, we can represent the effect of the varying initial population sizes on the final population sizes. We can compare these effects and observe how populations grow as the N₀ increases.

We can also choose a <u>bar graph</u>. In this way, we can compare initial and final population sizes.

This graph will show populations and two bars per population.

  • Blue bar ⇒N₀⇒ Initial population size
  • Red bar ⇒N₁ ⇒ Final population size
  • Different populations ⇒ 1, 2, 3, 4, 5 ⇒ Represented in the X horizontal ax
  • The number of individuals ⇒ from 1 to 324 ⇒ Represented in the Y vertical ax.

By making a bar graph, we can represent initial and final population sizes and compare them. <em>The population that begins with 1 individual, after 24 hours has 4 individuals. The population that begins with 3 individuals, ends with 9 individuals. And so on</em>.

No matter which graph you choose, you will observe a directly proportional relationship between both variables. The bigger is the initial population size, the bigger it ends after 24 hs.
