In this eight-year experiment, 12 populations of E. coli, each begun from a single cell, were grown in low-glucose conditions fo

r 20,000 generations. Each culture was introduced to fresh growth medium every 24 hours. Occasionally, samples were removed from the populations, and their fitness in low-glucose conditions was tested against that of members sampled from the ancestral (common ancestor) E. coli population.
The cells in the 12 cell lines grown in low-glucose conditions showed the effects of which of the following processes?
A) gene flow and genetic drift
B) natural selection and mutation
C) natural selection and gene flow
D) conjugation and transformation

<h2>Answer is option "B"</h2>

Explanation:

  • Natural selection is the process in which the organism better suited for its environment will thrive and produce more offspring. This process plays a central role in evolutionary theory. As the demands of the environment act upon specific traits in a population, changes occur to improve the survival of the organism. The demands of the environment either benefit or work against specific traits that already exist within the population.
  • A mutation is a change in your DNA, more specifically, a mutation that allows your DNA to create a protein that functions differently than it otherwise would. In humans, scientists have uncovered a recent mutation in the receptor proteins of the cell membrane. People possessing this mutation (though few in number) have shown a resistance to HIV. This is due to the inability of the virus to bind correctly to the host cell. Another example of beneficial mutation in humans is our rich, color vision.
  • Hence, the right answer is option B "natural selection and mutation"

3. genotype is round seed

phenotype is Rr

4. genotype is grey fur

phenotype are WW and Ww

5. genotype is short

phenotype is tt

1. genotype is high metabolism

phenotype are HH and Hh

Explanation:

The dominant trait is the capital letter and the reccessive is the lowercase letter.

To do a punnet square you bring down each letter say like problem 1, you bring down capital D down and little d down to each of the 2 squares below them, then you drag the sides to the right of the two squares and you get DD for the first square, then Dd, then below Dd, then next to it DD.

Phenotype is a organism's actual appearence.

Genotype is a gene combination. The gene combination that determines the phenotype

The last option is corrrect because when one species move away from an environment or die it lead to decrease in biodiversity as well as the overall health of ecosystem also decreases.

Hitman42 [59]

Coelophysis was one of the first true dinosaurs to appear in the late Triassic, is was an agile, bipedal carnivore.

Coelophysis was a small fast running carnivorous dinosaur. Coelophysis was found in Upper Triassic. Coelophysis means 'hollow form', and this comes from the hollow limb bones. Coelophysis was a light-weight hunter that looked like a bird having long legs. The Fossil evidence shows that this dinosaur ate small crocodile-like reptiles. This predator was about 9 feet long.
