An error sometimes made by beginning biology students is called the "Adaptationist Fallacy" wherin a trait observed in a populat

ion is automatically presumed to be the most beneficial phenotype for that species/population. Why is this presumption not always correct? Describe a scenario where the adaptationist fallacy is incorrect.

Answer:

The Adaptationist Fallacy can prove very costly to biologist who are assuming it wrong according to the function in the environment. Let us have an example of the phenotype of wheat diploid breed that produces non-bearded grains variety, but we cannot assume it as a beneficial phenotype without further extensive research. After research, we came to know that there is also a major hexaploid bearded variety, that produces more number of grains. That's how, the Adaptationist Fallacy may prove fatal if we have assumed diploid as a major beneficial phenotype.

If the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) outside of the thylakoids were equal to the concentration of H+ inside the thylakoids
erik [133]

The chloroplasts would be unable to generate ATP

If the concentration of hydrogen ions (H+) outside of the thylakoids were equal to the concentration of H+ inside the thylakoids, the chloroplasts would be unable to generate ATP

Explanation:

As the high-energy electron from the reactive center of the photosystem conveyed from one protein to another in the protein transport chain of the chloroplast, the energy harnessed from the electron is used to pump H+ ions into the thylakoid lumen against concentration gradient.

The proton motive force created by having a high concentration of H+ ion in the thylakoid lumen than outside is to enable the creation of potential energy that is tapped by ATP synthase to create ATPs in a process called photophosphorylation. The ATPs made in this light stage is used in the anabolic process of the dark stage to make glucose through the reduction of CO2

what are three possible ways that a mutation could change DNA, yet have no measurable effect on the organism?
zhuklara [117]
Some mutations don't have any noticeable effect on the phenotype of an organism. This can happen in many situations: perhaps the mutation occurs in a stretch of DNA with no function, or perhaps the mutation occurs in a protein-coding region, but ends up not affecting the amino acid sequence of the protein.

Explain how chemical energy eventually leaves an ecosystem. Can plants or animals in this
larisa86 [58]

Answer:

Chemical energy eventually leaves an ecosystem, when the top predator eventually dies. Other plants and animals will use this energy because when the dead body decays, the plants will take some of it through the soil, and put back into the cycle.
