Now Thomas Roberts of Oregon State University in Corvallis and Richard Marsh of Northeastern University in Boston propose that frogs maximise their muscle power by storing energy in some elastic structure just before they become airborne. The researchers filmed bullfrogs jumping and used a computer model to calculate the energies required to produce such leaps. They found that the numbers only add up if the frogs’ contracting leg muscles also stretch a tendon-like component. When released, like the elastic in a slingshot, the energy stored in the tendon helps fire the animal into the air

Explain artificial selection. Describe how artificial selection explains and support Darwins theory of evolution.

Gnesinka [82]

Answer:

Explanation:

In artificial selection, breeders select parent organisms with desired characteristics, in the hopes that when they are crossed, the desired variations will appear in the offspring. ... If the organism is "fit" it does survive and reproduce, thus possibly passing its traits to future generations.

Imagine a genomic researcher who is analyzing the genome of different types of cats. She finds that a particular sequence in the

egoroff_w [7]

Answers:

The sequence encodes a gene that is critical for life and cannot be easily mutated while retaining function.
The sequence is contained in a retrovirus that has infected both species.

1- Explanation:

6.8 million years is a considerable period of time and if the cats were evolved in two different specie then technically they should have substantially different sequences of gene. However, there are some genes that are critical for the survival of the organisms because they encode a function which is equally important for the organisms of a certain category, even if they are different specie.

For example, the essential genes that are involved in maintenance of metabolism, initiation of replication or translation of genes. Therefore, with the period of time, the mutation of even a single nucleotide can be lethal for these genes, and if it happens organism will simply die. So, if one organisms is died that cannot take part in the process of evolution and would clearly be cut off from the process, However, those who survive can undergo some other mutations and become separate specie.

2- Explanation:

A retro virus inserts itself in to the genome of host organisms and become a part of them. It is very difficult to detect the presence of the retro virus until the organism undergoes infection due to its attack. Cats are a favorable host for retroviruses - called lentiviruses which attack the cats to cause a critical syndrome Feline Immunodeficiency Virus or FIV. Therefore, it is possible that same retrovirus having a particular sequence has attacked both cats and the sequences were taken from those cats.

N a garden with trees and shrubs, green and pink katydids were observed. Over time, birds started feeding on the katydids. Which

OlgaM077 [116]

Answer: A.The population of pink katydids will decrease.

B.The population of green katydids will decrease.

Explanation:

The two statements describe what will eventually happen to the population of the katydids are that:

• A.The population of pink katydids will decrease.

• The population of green katydids will decrease.

This is because from the information given, since birds started feeding on the katydids, this will result in the reduction in the number of katydids. Hence, the decrease in both the pink and the green katydids.
