You are studying a population of American robins, Turdus migratorius, in which approximately 2% of all individuals carry a reces

sive allele for leucistic (unusually white) coloration. The population suddenly expands when an influx of robins arrives during spring migration, and the frequency of the leucistic allele drops to only 1.5%. Next season the frequency is still 1.5%. Does it appear that evolution occurred in the robin population in your study area?

Yes, It seems that evolution has occurred in this area.

Explanation:

Evolution refers to a phenomena in which new traits or alleles that favor a better survival of organisms in a given environment, become fixed in the population.

Evolution is characterized by appearance of new characters and change in allele frequencies.

In the given situation we find that the frequency of the recessive allele in the population has changed over time and the percentage has become fixed.

So, we can say that evolution has occurred in the robin population

Lesechka [4]

The Hershey–Chase experiment was based on a bacteriophage T2 (a virus), to that DNA is the genetic material. Bacteriophage T2 attacks bacterium and makes its copies. Based on the experiment, Hershey and Chase deduced that it is the DNA of virus enters bacteria to make virus copies. To trace viral DNA, Hershey and Chase label DNA with ³²P (radioisotope of phosphorus) because phosphorus is not present in most of the proteins.

During aerobic cellular respiration, what combines with hydrogen ions and the product is released as a by-product of respiration
Rufina [12.5K]
 The correct answer is C, Oxygen.
During aerobic cellular respiration, oxygen combines with hydrogen ions and water is released as a by-product of respiration. 

Explanation; 
Cellular respiration allows organisms to release energy stored in chemical bonds of glucose, and other nutrients. The energy in glucose or other nutrients such as fats is used to produce ATP, which cells use to supply their energy needs. During aerobic respiration (in presence of oxygen), oxygen is reduced and water is produced together with carbon dioxide as by-products.
