Within a narrow range of temperatures, S. marcescens produces a red pigment called prodigiosin. Although the ultimate purpose of

the pigment is a mystery, it is known that at least 10 enzymes are required for its production. If one of these enzymes is rendered nonfunctional, how would you expect the appearance of the bacteria to change?

Answer:

Either the color will disappear or the brightness of the color will reduce as compared to the brightness in normal case.  

Explanation:

Non diffusible red pigment known as prodigiosin is a characteristics of S. Marcescens. Since, the red pigment is dependent on least 10 enzymes, it is clear that the pH and temperature range must be adequate for these enzymes to be functional. The optimum condition for pigment formation is 30 degree temperature and alkaline medium.

If any of the 10 enzymes become non-functional, the chances of attaining normal bright red color are not possible. Either the color will disappear or the brightness of the color will reduce as compared to the brightness in normal case.

Answer:

The process of natural selection is acting on <u>Field mouse individuals</u> where as evolution is occurring on <u>Field Mouse population. </u>

Explanation:

As the problem shows, the field mice are the ones that natural selection is acting on, but only the ligher shade ones. Because the lighter shade individuals are more likely to survive in the beach because they blend with the environment.

Evolution occurred on the field mouse population because if you read the script in the end, they were able to successfully reproduce. This means that they evolved in such a way that they were able to survive in their new environment. (most likely carrying on the trait of light-colored fur)

Natural selection acts on traits, phenotypic traits, favorable to the environment. Evolution occurred because of the natural selection, because the favored trait enabled the organism to adapt to the environment.
