The reason for the loss of color after the industrial revolution is that the light-colored moths were "selected against" by predators. These birds could only see the light ones against the newly dark, sooted background. Over time, these predators could no longer distinguish the dark ones from their natural dark, sooted background. Thus more light-colored moths stood out against the dark soot, and were eaten. And more dark-colored moths eluded the birds, survived to reproduce, passing on more of their dominant genes for dark color to their offspring. After several decades of hundreds of thousands of generations, most of the later generations were dark, due to selective advantage of camouflage to survive predation.

Answer:

Protein synthesis in rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER) and packaging in smooth endoplasmic reticulum (SER)

Explanation:

Intracellular Protein Transport:

  • After transcription in the nucleus, the mRNA is translocated from the nucleus to the ribosomes attached to the rough endoplasmic reticulum (RER). The RER is the site of the biosynthesis of proteins.
  • The process of translation of mRNA sequence into amino acid sequence takes place in the RER.
  • The newly synthesized protein is then packaged into vesicles in the SER and transported to the Golgi complex.
  • The Golgi complex is the cell's packaging department. It packages proteins into transport vesicles for intra and extracellular protein transport.

Which solution of ethyl alcohol is more effective at inhibiting microbial growth: a 70% solution or a 100% solution? Why?
Triss [41]

Answer:

70% solution is more effective

Explanation:

The 70% solution is more effective at inhibiting microbial growth than the 100% solution of the ethyl alcohol.

This is because the pure ethyl alcohol coagulates the protein that is in contact with it.

Also, pure alcohol will tend to evaporate faster than the 70% solution of the ethyl alcohol and it will not be that much effective.
