Answer:

6. 2 cm

8. Greater than 2 cm and less than 2 cm

Explanation:

Complete Question

6. A scientist measures the circumference of acorns in a population of oak trees and discovers that the most common circumference is 2 cm. What would you expect the most common circumference(s) to be after 10 generations of stabilizing selection?

-2 cm

-Greater than 2 cm or less than 2 cm

-Greater than 2 cm and less than 2 cm

-Can't tell from the information given

8. Refer to question 6, but this time answer what you would expect after 10

generations of directional selection.

-2 cm

-Greater than 2 cm or less than 2 cm

-Greater than 2 cm and less than 2 cm

-Can't tell from the information given

Solution -

6. In an stabilizing selection, the average trait of a given population is favored over extreme values. Hence, it can be said that one specific trait is over presented in a given population. For example – uniform human birth weight, number of eggs a bird lay etc.  

Here in this case if most common circumference is 2 cm , then the tree population will try to have this trait as a stabilizing trait.  

Thus, option A is correct

8. In a  directional selection, the genetic variation decreases as per the environmental change. And hence the average trait will not be selected. Instead traits either higher or lower the average values will be preferred.  

Thus, option C is correct

Translate the word phrase into an algebraic equation: the quotient of 24 and 2 is equal to 12.
igor_vitrenko [27]

Answer:

24/2 = 12

Explanation:

(I'm pretty sure this isn't a Biology question, but I'll answer this because I'm nice.)

To translate English into algebriac equations, we have to understand what the symbols in algebra mean. Here are some we should know:

= : "equal to", "is", "equivalent to", etc.

> : "greater than"

< : "less than"

>= : "greater than or equal to", "at least"

<= : "less than or equal to", "at most"

We also have to know basic math operations:

a + b : "a added to b", "a plus b", "a combined with b", "a more than b", etc.

a - b : "a minus b", "b less than a", "b subtracted from a", etc.

a * b : "a multiplied by b", "a times b", "the product of a and b", etc.

a / b : "the quotient of a and b", "a divided by b", etc.

There are MUCH MORE examples of this, yet it becomes second-nature to change English sentences into algebra.

So, let's tackle the question. Sadly, it's pretty simple, so I won't really go in depth here. Since the quotient of a and b is a/b, the quotient of 24 and 2 is 24/2. We can also say that "is equal to 12" is "= 12". So,

24/2 = 12.

If methylene blue dye is added to a suspension of yeast cells, any living cells
GenaCL600 [577]

The correct option is that the higher the temperature of Y the more colorless cells it contains and is denoted as option B.

<h3>What is Temperature?</h3>

This us defined as the degree of hotness or coldness of a body and is dependent on thermal energy.

High temperature will denature yeast as a result of its rich protein content and increasing the temperature will therefore leads to the presence of more colorless cells in Y which are able to act on it.
