Answer:

The correct answers are B and C. Walter Sutton and Theodor Boveri were the first to suggest that growth of cancerous cells was a result of abnormal chromosomes.

Explanation:

The chromosomal theory of inheritance is a scientific theory that relates chromosomes with the transmission of inheritable characters. It is also called the chromosomal theory of Sutton and Boveri in honor of the two people who independently developed it in 1902, Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton. This theory states that the alleles, the Mendelian genetic factors, are on chromosomes.

Theodor Boveri and Walter Sutton independently developed the chromosome theory in 1902, Boveri, studying embryonic development in sea urchin and Sutton in this work on meiosis in grasshopper.

Sutton and Boveri's proposition in 1902 that chromosomes are the factors of Mendelian inheritance was controversial until its demonstration in 1915 by the work of Thomas Hunt Morgan in the Drosophila melanogaster fly.

Mary Beth bought 15 ghost shrimp. She put 5 in a small fish bowl, 5 in a larger tank, and 5 in an artificial pond in her backyar

Kaylis [27]

Answer:

Initial age of ghost shrimp and water temperature

Explanation:

In an experiment, there are several variables (alterable factors) that determine the outcome of the experiment. A CONTROLLED variable or CONSTANT is a variable that is kept constant or unchanged throughout the experiment. The constant is not changed because it can affect the other variables (outcome) of the experiment.

For this experiment conducted by Mary Beth on the effect of size of the tank on the size of the shrimp after 6months, the constants are INITIAL AGE OF GHOST SHRIMP and WATER TEMPERATURE. This is so because the ghost shrimps of the same initial age must be used to start the experiment, so as to be able to measure the actual effect on the growth. Also, the water in the respective tanks must be the same Temperature so that one experimental group will not be favored over another.

Answer:

2) disruptive selection

Explanation:

Disruptive selection is a type of natural selection that acts against less fit heterozygotes. The disruptive selection can be represented by a decrease in the variance of a trait. In this case, the disruptive selection eliminates the medium-sized beaks, thereby favoring the extreme phenotypes in an interbreeding population.
