Rhodobacter cells perform photosynthesis in the presence of light and grow heterotrophically in the dark. After being cultured i

n total darkness for multiple generations, phenotypic and genotypic changes occur. What phenotypic changes occur and what evolutionary processes are driving them?

Answer:

Phenotypic changes:

When Rhodobacter is cultured in total darkness for multiple generations, the ability to produce it's own photopigment reduces with time with little or no ability to undergo its own photosynthesis due to absence of enzymes or pigment for photosynthesis.

It becomes expensive for the Rhodobacter to undergo photosynthesis. This allows mutants that can grow in the dark to take over from the culture grown in the dark.

Evolutionary processes:

It's natural selection that allows the fittest organism to survive. As in the case of the mutants

Hypothesize how the chromosomes of the parents would look compared to the chromosomes of their child?
marysya [2.9K]

During fertilization, the encounter of gametes results in the fusion of their nuclei. The nucleus of the egg cell thus formed is therefore a mixture of the two nuclei.

So the parent will only give half of his chromosomes, so the child will have 50% of his chromosomes that resemble each of his parents.

Another factor that must be mentioned is the genetic recombination between the chromosomes that occurs during meiosis of the reproductive cells. Thus, this will give a heterogeneous chromosome resulting from recombination of the two chromosomes of each of its parents, and the child will have a unique combination chromosome but keeping the alleles of both parents.

A selectively permeable membrane sac filled with water and large molecules of starch is suspended in a beaker of distilled water
madreJ [45]

A selective permeable membrane sac filled with water and large molecules of starch is suspended in a break of distilled water then water will enter into the sack and it will swell.

This is the process of osmosis in which movement of water molecules form a solution with high concentration to lower concentration till the equilibrium attain. Starch does not pass through thee selectively permeable membrane.Water moves from outside if the cell to the inside leading to swelling of cells.

Small molecules diffuse faster than larger molecules through a membrane. The movement of water across a semipermeable membrane from an area of lower solute concentration to an area of higher solute.
