Answer:
a) Teeth arose from the rough scales of ancestral sharks.
b) Skeletal developments leading to the amphibian movement onto land probably evolved from lobe-finned fishes.
d) The anterior gill arch formed the basis for the evolution of the vertebrate jaw.
Explanation:
The animals we know today have physical characteristics that are evolutionary adaptations of characteristics of their ancestors, which have undergone a series of evolutions and modifications over the years giving rise to new species that have resulted in the species we know today. This process of evolutions and adaptations also happened with the ancestral species of fish, which allowed that today, they had characteristics such as teeth and jaws. Many of these evolutions occurred even in different species, such as the evolution that allowed the amphibians to have a skeleton, which evolved from the spine fins of fish.
Answer:
a. + glucose, + lactose = On
b. - glucose, - lactose = Off
c. + glucose, - lactose = Off
d. - glucose, + lactose = On
Explanation:
Lac operon has both types of control, repressible and inducible.
Whenever glucose level is low in the cell, an enzyme known as adenylyl cyclase raises the level of cAMP which forms a dimer with CRP protein and they both act as activator of lac operon and cause expression.
Apart from this, when lactose is present in the cell, β-galactosidase enzyme metabolizes lactose to form allolactose which causes allosteric repulsion in the lac repressor and causes its removal from the operator. As soon as repressor is removed lac operon gets activated.
In wild type lac operons, the expression of lac operon occurs when glucose level is low in the cell and lactose is present but in this mutant presence or absence of glucose will not make a difference because CRP will bind Plac promoter independent of cAMP level i.e. activator CRP will work even in high glucose concentration. If lactose is present then lac operon will always express so in option 'a & d' lac operon will express but in option 'b & c' it will not express.
<u>Answer</u>:
1. C. Process one describes cloning and process two describe artificial selection
Through cloning a genetically identical individual is obtained from a single individual. Through artificial selection a hybrid between two individuals with desirable traits is obtained.
2. C. Polygenic
A trait that has a continuous variation has a polygenic inheritance pattern as it is controlled by multiple genes.
3. C. The BW mice would have black and white patches
Codominant genes will produce an individual with an intermediate phenotype as both alleles are simultaneously expressed in the heterozygote.
4. D. Polygenic
Polygenic inheritance occurs when two or more genes determine a trait that has a continuous variation. Each gene has a small effect, but all together have a cumulative effect. Examples of such patterns are height, sking color, eye color, weight etc.
