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

Answer:

16. Control group: Subject A

17. Independent (manipulated) variable: Type of powder

18. Dependent variable: Itching time

19. Explain whether the data supports the advertisement´s claims about its product. Yes, it does.

Explanation:

  • Control group: The control group is used to identify if there are any other factors influencing the results obtained by the treatment in the study (in this case, the new product), from the results that might be a consequence of other factors. The control group must be selected from the same population as the treatment group. Data from an experimental group are compared with the data from a control group. These two groups are identical in all aspects except for the independent variable that the researcher changes in the experimental group to observe how they affect the individuals.  

The experimental group is the one that receives the experimental procedure, with changes in the independent variable.  There can be several experimental groups. In this case, the experimental group is subject B.

  • Independent (manipulated) variable: Refers to all the variables in an experiment that provoke a response in another variable. An independent variable is the one that changes or is controlled and modified in the experiment to analyze how another variable responds to it. It changes to analyze its effects on the dependent variable. Usually, the independent variable is represented by the X letter. In the exposed example, the type of powder is the independent variable.  
  • Dependent variable: Refers to the variable, which response depends on any change in the independent variable. It represents a quantity of something which value depends on how the independent variable is modified. The change in the dependent variable might be proportional or inversely proportional to the change in the manipulated variable. It is usually identified by the letter Y. In the exposed example, inching time is the dependent variable, that depends on the type of powder used.
  • The data <u>does support</u> the advertisement´s claims about its product. The effect of the new product lasts 50% more than the original product. The old powder produced itching for 30 minutes, while the new product produced itching for 45min (15 more minutes, 50% more).

Aerobic cellular respiration, glucose is metabolised in the presence of oxygen and leads to the formation of energy as a main product. the by products are carbon dioxide and water. The process takes place in four phases: glycolysis, pyruvate oxidation, citric acid cycle, and oxidative phosphorylation.
