Answer:
IF a high concentration of fertilizer is used, THEN orchid plants will grow best
Explanation:
The hypothesis in an experiment is the testable explanation given in support of an observer problem. It is a predictive statement that aims at proferring a possible solution to a problem or answer a question asked. The hypothesis must be able to be tested via experimentation as this is one important feature all hypotheses must possess. A hypothesis is usually written in an "IF, THEN" format.
In this question, an investigation is being carried out to know the effect of a certain amount of fertilizer on the growth of orchids in a greenhouse. A possible explanation/hypothesis will be:
IF a high concentration of fertilizer is used, THEN orchid plants will grow best.
This can be accepted or rejected depending on the outcome of the experiment.
Answer is A. A Hox gene
Hox genes are a series of genes that controls the differentiation of cells and tissues in an embryo by turn on and off other genes. If Hox genes express incorrectly, a major changes in the morphology of the individual can be seen.
Let’s understand this with an example: The Ultrabithorax, a Hox gene determines the Third thoracic segment in <em>Drosophila melanogaster</em>. Third thoracic segment displays a pair of legs and a pair of reduced wings used for balancing. In the mutant<em> Drosophila</em> the functional Ultrabithorax protein is absent. Due to this mutation, the third thoracic segment now expresses the same structures found on the second thoracic segment, which contains a pair of legs and a pair of wings which are fully developed .
Answer:
a. This is actually a case of frequency-dependent selection. With too many cheaters in a population, the fruiting body's stalk is not built well, and all individuals have lower fitness.
Explanation:
Frequency dependent selection is a process in evolution whereby the
a gene, genotype or phenotype varies depend on the percentage of that gene, genotype or phenotype that is present in the population.
There are two types of frequency dependent selection:
a. Positive frequency dependent selection.
b. Negative frequency dependent selection.
