The Grand Canyon was carved out by the Colorado River several million years ago. This caused the separation of members of one sq

uirrel species. The Abert’s Squirrel lives on the southern side of the canyon and in other parts of the United States. A second species, the Kaibab Squirrel, has been found around the northern rim of the canyon and nowhere else in the country. According to the process of natural selection, we know that there must have been some genetic variation among the existing squirrel population, but how did that lead to the development of a second species?

Answer:

There was probably some sort of bring-over from a different area where the new squirrels lived before. Maybe the squirrels had to migrate. There are a lot of possibilities, but most likely some sort of reproduction adaptation.

Answer:

B-

Explanation:

There were both genetic variations and environmental variations. In each location, the genetic variations helped certain squirrels survive to reproduce. Those unique and differing traits were passed on. When the squirrels were separated, there was genetic variation within the population. In each group, some had traits that allowed them to survive and reproduce in their specific environment. Over time, each group evolved unique traits for their home location until one species evolved into two. (From usatestprep)

Isolating all of the RNA out of an organism, subjecting it to reverse transcriptase, and then cloning all of the resulting DNA i
Lisa [10]

Answer:

The answer is C.

Explanation:

The example process given in the question is describing the creating of a cDNA Library. cDNA or Complimentary DNA is copy of the DNA that is taken from a messenger RNA (mRNA), which is what is done with the reverse transcriptase. And the process described as cloning the resulting DNA into plasmids is the part where the library is created. The resulting DNA is put into host organisms and stored there for further investigation or use.

I hope this answer helps.

genetic engineering might allow parent to 'design' their children before birth are you in favor of this? why or why not?​
ludmilkaskok [199]

Answer:

I think it is quite an interesting idea to allow parents to 'design' their children before birth. Because some people have preferences and those preferences are taken very seriously. I wouldn't want to have a baby boy, I would want a baby girl. Although, this could be a waste of money and time because this might be one of the things that are better not to be fixed even if it isn't broken. But, this can also be good, if you desperately need a child with specific features, this can help. Even if I can't seem to find a reason where a child is supposed to have specific features.

Which statement regarding the hypothalamus is FALSE?
Margarita [4]

Answer:

All the options are correct regarding hypothalamus.

Explanation:

The hypothalamus is the part of the forebrain. The diencephalon is divisible into 2 parts - thalamus and hypothalamus. It regulates various functions of the body.

This is the thermoregulatory center of the body. It gives the signal to sweat during a hot environment and shiver in winter. This maintains the water balance in the body by stimulating the secretion of ADH hormone in the kidney.

Hypothalamus also has regulated anterior pituitary hormone secretion. Thus it controls the endocrine secretion of pituitary glands.

This plays an important role in hunger and thirst. The feeding habits like the licking of lips, swallowing, and salivating by seeing delicious foods is due to hypothalamic activities.

The behavioral activities of individuals influenced by the hypothalamus.  It is worked along with the limbic system of the brain. The behavioral activities include fear, punishment and sexual desire.
