Answer:
Disruptive selection
Explanation:
According to the infographic that is attached below showing different the three main types of selection that occurs as a result of natural selection taking its course on any population, we can draw our conclusion regarding the information given to us from the question.
From the question above, it states that the finches studied by Darwin are majorly finches with either small beak or large beak which are all adapted to suit the type of food available for the finches in the islands. Whereas, finches with intermediate beaks are favored against.
According to the infographic, disruptive selection can be said to have taken place as extreme traits are favored against intermediate traits on the islands.
The carbon cycle is the biogeochemical cycle by which carbon is exchanged among five spheres of the Earth, carbon (C) sinks: the biosphere, pedosphere, lithosphere, hydrosphere, and atmosphere (These are not mutually exclusive, see Glossary).
Answer:
a rat with rabbit hemoglobin genes
Explanation:
When the genome of an organism is modified in the field of genetic engineering,by transplanting the gene(DNA) from one organisms to another,(by vectors) or alteration of the gene components,the resulting organism produced or formed is called Transgenic organism.
This process of genetic engineering makes use of recombination of genes to alter the genome of the transgenic organism.
Thus by transferring to rat ( the DNA for Hb) as the rabbit Hb,the gene( or genome) for producing Hb in tats has been modified by that of rabbit.Hence Rat is said to transgenic.
Besides animals crop plants are also genetically modified.Thus the genome of some crops are altered to resist herbicides and pesticides. Some species of rice (golden rice)have been modified to add certain vitamins to improve the nutritional values.
Genetically modified bananas as edible vaccines are another example
Answer:
The correct answer is b. The genetically engineered cells adhered preferentially to cells expressing the same cadherins.
Explanation:
As the cells were nonadhesive, when engineered they express affinity for cells expressing the same cadherins. Although depending on the engineering the cells could express different affinity.
