The medium ground finch lives on the Galapagos Islands. Birds with beaks of all sizes were originally part of this population. T

he finches are seed eaters. The types of food available for them to eat depends on the weather. During wet years, there is a large variety of food. During dry years, there is less food, and large, tough seeds are more abundant than small seeds.
After a long drought, researchers noticed certain differences in the population of medium ground finches living compared to those who lived before the drought. What was different about the finches after the drought?
A.
They had smaller wings.
B.
They had larger wings.
C.
They were a new species.
D.
They had larger beaks.

D. They had larger beaks.

Due to the drought they would need to dig deeper for food. But their tiny beaks could not do that. So over time their beaks grew and adapted to the drought. Therefor the answer is D. They had larger beaks!

Hope this helped! <3

The protein thorain is encoded by the gene thrL, and thorain is a negative regulator of the thrMN operon. Assume there is no oth
KIM [24]

Answer:

The correct answer is option a, that is, the thrM and thrN would be transcribed at high levels in comparison to non-mutant.

Explanation:

Based on the given information, in the existence of thorain the expression of thrM and thrN will be prevented as thorain functions as a negative regulator. In case, if the gene, which codes for thorain, that is, thrL gets mutated, the coding for the functional thorain would get prevented.  

With the encoding of the non-functional thrL protein, there would be an enhancement in the expression of thrN and thrM genes and it will get transcribed at higher levels in comparison to the non-mutant or the wild-type.
