Imagine that you are studying a species of invasive insect that has spread from Brazil to the Eastern coast of the U.S. You hypo

thesize that this species spread has been aided by strong selection for cold tolerance in the U.S. populations. To test your hypothesis, you compare Fst of a US population with a Brazilian population in the region containing a gene coding for a cold-shock protein, which is known to help cells acclimate to cold.
If your hypothesis is correct, how would you expect Fst in the genomic region surrounding the cold-shock gene to compare to Fst in the rest of the genome?

(a) Fst should be higher in the region surrounding the cold-shock protein.

(b) Fst should be lower in the region surrounding the cold-shock gene.

(c) Fst in the region surrounding the cold-shock gene should be no different from Fst in the rest of the genome.

Answer:

Option (A) is the correct answer to this question.

Explanation:

If the hypothesis is correct then we shall be higher than Fst in the rest of the genome in the area environment  the cold-shock protein in the genomic region surrounding the cold-shock gene, except for the Fst.

  • Cold shock components are those product uses that are produced in cold and defend against cold stress. Fst is a gene of ice, present offshore of proteins from cold shock. During cold stress, the fist gene expression increase by several folds to increase cold shock protein production.
  • Other options are incorrect because they are not related to the given scenario.

Which phrase best summarizes how animals get water from the
sweet [91]

Answer:

By the processes of evaporation and percipitation

Explanation:

When animals breathe, their warm lungs fill with air. Inside the lungs, some of that air condenses into water vapor. When an animal exhales, they release more water vapor than they breathed in, which adds to the water present in the water cycle.

Most mutations
VMariaS [17]
Most mutations have no effect on organisms.  Organisms all have large amounts of genetic code, most of which has no effect.  As a result, mutation of this code is rarely meaningful.

What role does iodine play within the thyroid?
lesantik [10]
Iodine it is an element that is required for the thyroid gland to produce thyroid hormones.
The body does not produce iodine on its own so it needs to come from dietary sources like eggs, prunes bananas, shrimp, cod, etc or you can take supplements of iodine.
When you consume iodine it quickly absorbed and enters into your bloodstream and thenyour thyroid that has tiny cells that capture the circulating iodine and takes in and oxidizes it so it can begin to be used to create (T3) and (T4 which are thyroid hormones.
