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"

List the 3 stages of cellular respiration.
Contact [7]
The three main stages of cellular respiration (aerobic) would include Glycolysis, the Kreb's Cycle and the Electron Transport Chain. The Krebs Cycle takes Citric Acid which is a derivative of Pyruvic Acid and converts this through 4 cycles into Hydrogen, carbon dioxide and water in the Mitochondrial Matrix.

Why does the starch remain present and is detected by iodine in the boiled solution?
skad [1K]

Answer:

Amylose in starch is responsible for the formation of a deep blue color in the presence of iodine. The iodine molecule slips inside of the amylose coil. ... A blue-black color results if starch is present. If starch amylose is not present, then the color will stay orange or yellow. I hope this helps!

Answer:

D two organisms depend on each other for survival.
