A hypothetical mutation in a squirrel population produces organisms with eight legs rather than four. Further, these mutant squi

rrels survive, successfully invade new habitats, and eventually give rise to a new species. The initial event, giving rise to extra legs, would be a good example of 16) A) allometry. B) species selection. C) punctuated equilibrium. D) habitat selection. E) changes in homeotic genes.

Answer:

option c punctuated equilibrium

Explanation:

Punctuated equilibrium occurs in a process whereby evolutionary changes occurs in some organisms in a rapid burst of time rather the conceived gradual changes that occurs over a long period of time. this burst of time might be in about 500,000 years. It is assumed that the organism has maintained/lives in stasis for a long period without a need for change, but then, once the change takes place (most of the time, due to an environmental factor), the organism quickly adapts to its new environment with this new adaptation.

If a researcher has a DNA sample with a concentration of 0.6 micrograms per microliter, how many microliters of DNA must be tran
Art [367]

Answer:

0.325 microliters

Explanation:

1 microgram = 1000 nanograms

DNA sample concentration= 1000 X 0.6 = 600 nanograms / microliters

We need a total of 50 microliter reactions, and the concentration should be 3.9 nanograms per microliter.

So, we need total 50 X 3.9 = 195 nanograms in 50 microliters.

Therefore, it required 195 / 600 = 0.325 microliters of DNA sample to be transferred.

1)

2)Keep more fruits, low-fat dairy products (low-fat milk and low-fat yogurt), vegetables, and whole-grain foods at home and at work. Focus on adding healthy food to your diet, rather than just taking unhealthy foods away. Try to eat a family meal every day at the kitchen or dining table.

3)Biomacromolecules are large biological polymers, such as nucleic acids, proteins and carbohydrates, that are made up of monomers linked together. For example, proteins are composed of monomers called amino acids.

4)The First Law of Thermodynamics states that heat is a form of energy, and thermodynamic processes are therefore subject to the principle of conservation of energy. This means that heat energy cannot be created or destroyed

5)Cellular metabolism is the set of chemical reactions that occur in living organisms in order to maintain life. Cellular metabolism involves complex sequences of controlled biochemical reactions, better known as metabolic pathways.

6)Sugars, such as galactose, fructose, and glycogen, are catabolized into new products in order to enter the glycolytic pathway.
