Shark pups with the most advantageous traits are more likely to survive and reproduce. For example, pups that can hunt and feed

with efficiency directly after being born would have an advantageous trait. What is the best prediction of how this will affect the frequency of advantageous traits in future generations?
A) are sharks in the next generation will have those exact traits
B) as long as conditions favor those traits those traits will become increasingly common in future generations
C) regardless of environmental conditions those traits will decrease in frequency in future populations
D) some of those sharks will reproduce and the more advantageous traits will remain in the population at a constant frequency

The answer is B. This is called genetic shift. The pups with advantageous traits are able to survive until the age of reproduction hence able to pass their genes to the next generation. Few and fewer pups with disadvantageous traits will get to reproduce hence the allelic frequencies of the shark population will shift in favour of increased hunting efficiency.

Human digestion of food begins in the _______, where the enzyme _____ breaks down a small amount of starch. Mouth; amylase stoma
Alexandra [31]

The digestion of the food in humans begins in the mouth. In the mouth, the salivary amylase enzyme digests and breaks down a small amount of the starch present in the food. The digestion process begins right in the mouth. and continues till the intestine. The carbohydrates (starch) are the ones whose digestion starts in the mouth.

Hence, the blanks can be filled with 'mouth and amylase' respectively.

The demographic transition model show population change over time. It ilustrates how birth rate and death rate affect the total
Dmitry_Shevchenko [17]

Answer: In Stage 4 of the Demographic Transition Model birth rates and death rates are both low, stabilizing total population growth. The decline in both birth and death rates of most Stage 4 countries have been attributed to strong economies, highly educated citizens, ample healthcare systems, the migration of people from rural communities to cities (Bulgaria)

What might be the result if you shuffle the order of bases in an organism's DNA<br> molecules?
r-ruslan [8.4K]

Answer:

It would have disastrous consequences on the viability of the individual

Explanation:

The genome can be defined as the genetic material of an organism, which is composed of DNA molecules named chromosomes whose building blocks are four different nucleotides: Adenine, Thymine, Cysotcine and Guanine. The order of these nucleotides specifies the information contained in the chromosomes and, ultimately, in the genome. The genes, which are recognized to be the basic units of inheritance, are genetic sequences composed of ordered nucleotides along the chromosomes. During transcription, a gene encodes different RNA codons (for example, start and stop codons) which are specified by the order of the nucleotide sequence. Finally, the order of the RNA codons will be critical to specify the polypeptide chain during the translation from RNA to protein.

How many distinct trnas are needed to translate every codon in the genetic code?
White raven [17]
In the genetic code, codons made of of three bases specify an amino acid. With three bases, there are 64 possible permutations. With three codons corresponding to STOP codons, this leaves 61 combinations that code for an amino acid. This would require 61 distinct tRNA species were it not for the "wobble base"
