You are monitoring a quantitative trait in a population of butterflies over multiple generations. Your professor tells you that

the trait is evolving by natural selection in this population. However, there is no change in mean fitness over time. What type(s) of selection could be occurring in this population and how could you tell what type of selection is happening

Answer:

In the given population, epistasis or frequency-dependent selection would have been taking place. In frequency-dependent selection, selection of a genotype relies upon its frequency in population. It is further divided into two types, that is, positive and negative frequency-dependent selection.  

In negative frequency-dependent selection rare genotypes are selected, while in positive frequency-dependent selection more common genotypes are selected. The other possibility is epistasis, in which the fitness of genotypes relies upon the non-additive influences over the multiple loci.

Which term best describes an enzyme
TEA [102]

<u>Solu</u><u>tion</u><u> </u><u>:</u><u>-</u>

In biology the word <em>bio</em><em> </em><em>catylysts</em><em> </em>describes the word enzymes . Bio catylysts are nothing but enzymes which alter the rate of reaction . For ex - Pepsinogen , which is produced in the stomach of humans activated by HCl from a proenzyme called trypsin . It works in acidic medium and converts proteins into peptides and protons . Likewise there is another enzyme called Salivary amylase which is present in the saliva of humans converts starch into maltose . There is another enzyme called lipase which converts fats into fatty acids and glycerol .

Three linked autosomal loci were studied in cucumbers: fruit color (dark vs. light), tendril size (long vs. reduced) and fruitin
Zina [86]

Answer:

Explanation:

1. Progeny observed in the experiment is calculated by adding all the progeny numbers observed in the :

TIME TO FRUIT                TENDRIL SIZE        FRUIT COLOR       NUMBER

 

 Normal                             normal                      dark                        370

 normal                              normal                      light                        32

 early                                  normal                      light                        971

 early                                   normal                     dark                         28

 early                                  reduced                    dark                          25

 early                                   reduced                   light                          483

 normal                                reduced                   light                          36

 normal                                reduced                    dark                         810

                                                                               TOTAL

                                                                                PROGENCY           <u>2755</u>

<u></u>

<u> </u>

2. The locus in the center is TIME TO FRUIT. Tendril size is at the beginning of the locus and the distance between the locus B and locus C is R2

Find the unit rate with the second given unit in the denominator.
Kobotan [32]
First, the unit is words per minute, not the other way round because you're interested in how fast people can type, not how much time passes for every number of words they write or read (that would be minutes per word)

now, we know they do 4200 in 60 minutes. 

we need to divide 4200 by 60- first,\frac{4200}{60} = \frac{420}{6} = \frac{21}{3} =70

so the answer is, 70 words per minute

I think you made a typo in your answer and you meant 4600 instead of 4200 - then the answer is <span>C. 76 2/3 word/min</span>
